Good premise, but so mixed up plot than it's gone from complex to bad. Disappointing.

Seemed like it borrowed too much from Gone Baby Gone, The Departed and Infernal Affairs.

a bit short and a lil bit flat when it comes to the storyline but SL Jackson totally saves this one from failing

Renny Harlin sure knows how to direct decent thrillers. Too bad the story gets pretty horrible towards the end.

"Cleaner" has an appealing lead, an interesting story that delves into a less interesting resolution, and has a sub-plot about the corruption of our protagonist and his wife's murder that has left his relationship with his teenage daughter on shaky ground. And that sub-plot really never hits the right dramatic note, nor does Eva Mendes' character, or much of the events that unfold. It has a solid cast and a good enough story for direct-to-video material, but alas, it's not quite recommendable.

Heard a lot about it. Everyone said the movie would be great.. Not.. The story wasn't that good and you don't really believe a thing of it. From the reactions of the actors untill the story itself.

Watchable, but somehow these "thrillers" have all started to look and feel alike, and very Hollywoodish...

Good choice for a lost sunday afternoon. Typical Jackson movie.

Lead actors are good and Harlin's direction is solid, but the screenplay isn't as good as the rest.

Boring. When will SLJ ever read a script before joining a movie?

I didn't know this was a straight-to-DVD release until after I'd watched it. Might that have influenced my decision to rent it? Probably, so I'm glad I didn't know, because I really enjoyed the movie. Great cast, interesting story. Okay, maybe not the most brilliant movie, but if TV dramas were like this, I'd be home every night!

Decent enough thriller that would be completely mediocre had it not been for the two principle cast members who bring it into decency. Still nothing that great though.

The story is good, as are the leading actors. Editing is just marv. It focuses on small detals, just what Samuel L. was doing in his job. Brilliant, working beginning, interesting sets, but flick looses it's touch towards the end. Peter Franzen, a Finnish actor in the end was funny.

Sam Jackson's da Man, so it suffers from being too short. Somewhat predicatable, but I liked it.

Enkelte scener er ganske lovende, men så mudres det hele til i amerikansk-hollywoodsnask, med menneskelige problem - og uden reelle kanter. Hvor faen skal han have en klicheopgør med sin datter? Hvorfor skal netop hans bedste ven være en del af komplottet og hvorfor er det dumme svin af en panser Mexer? Nej, typisk amerikansk lort - jeg er så træt af det efterhånden...

Great plot idea and Sam Jackson had something to get his teeth into. Does not end as well as it starts - but deserves better than its straight-to-DVD epithet.

Good premise, great first act, but then it becomes very ham-fisted and the climax really was a let down for me.

Harlin's style distracts but this low-budget hard-boiled noir is still watchable thanks to its stars and a decent script.

This film has a predictable plot but there are several interesting moments. There is a nice ensemble cast in this movie, although some actors are given more to do than others. Overall I would recommend this film.
