The Clean Up Crew

Your classic too-much-action comedy movie Nothing new A simple story that doesn't need this much time to end They could've taken half of the time and it would have been just fine to get done with the story They should have made it a little more serious to attract more attention Or at least make it funnier But a little bit of both makes it boring

Otherwise, it's like the movie (bullet train) but cheaper

Bty, Those kinds of movies portrayed as black comedy are getting out of hand First, it started with the director of The Grand Budapest Hotel Wesley Anderson who made a great comedy with a little suspense then when he succeeded all other directors tried to copy it but most of the films came out like this one

I think this genre should be banned for anyone but him.

We were going to laugh at this movie but instead were swept along. Silly? Why sure. And yet also believable.

We shouted at the screen, we laughed, even guffawed. This humour is not for everyone (check the other reviews) but I would place it in the same category as "Snatch" (Jason Statham and Brad Pitt). Banderas' best movie? It may well be. I bet he simply loved this character.

Surprisingly there were also scary moments, edge of your seat stuff although the shooters were as bad as the Star Wars soldiers.

This is not a silly movie and certainly not a bad one! I admit 8 may be a bit high but it is waaay better than the score it had at the time I am typing this (4.6). See for yourself. Don't expect a lot and you will love what you get.

Awful acting, boring script - felt like a second rate Guy Ritchie movie - aiming to be a British crime movie but full.of Irish characters. It's his fault, he started this confusing genre.

This movie pushes the boundaries of how much of a diabolical script can sound funny if spoken in an Irish accent - the answer, not very much of it.

I found myself scrolling on my phone several times throughout the movie. There was no plot interesting enough to drag me back.

Believe me, this movie is terrible - don't waste your money and an hour and a half of your life.

Is this the end of good old British crime dramas, made in the UK and starring accomplished British actors? - Unfortunately it seems so and it really doesn't work.

Banderas plays a Spanish crime boss based in Ireland who is in cahoots with corrupt local police. This is established with some silly opening scenes, which at least tells us how to take this film - as a black comedy.

A few years ahead of the opening and things go awry as a shootout during a payoff leaves a case of money missing and the cops unpaid. Enter the four person clean-up crew, which includes Rhys Meyers, who find the case stashed up a chimney at the crime scene by the wounded sole survivor, whose return to the scene to recover it, is badly timed.

Mayhem ensues as Banderas sends another henchman to get the money back from the oddball foursome who are still deciding what to do with it. And no one really knows or accounts for the skills of the drugged-up, paranoid ex-military member of the quartet.

Banderas hams it up as the angry crime boss, who constantly quotes Machiavelli to almost everyone's annoyance, which would be amusing but for the fact that he stands out so much for doing so, when almost everyone else plays it straight and dry.

The rest of the cast, script and situations, tend to be, at most, mildly amusing rather than laugh-out loud funny. The humour does have a dry Irish quality to it, but it isn't very strong and doesn't come close to something like Derry Girls, nor is this movie a patch on the likes of an early Guy Ritchie move like Snatch or Lock Stock. Those were the places and heights that this movie seemed to hoping for, but misses by a considerable margin.

It's watchable, but only just. It could fill an hour and a half if you have nothing better to do or see.

The Clean is a badly made film with half hearted attempt. Though the length of the film is short, it becomes boring right from the start. There is no comedy, no thrills and hardly any action that seems impossible when one man with two pistols taking circles and kill ten at a time who fires with machine gums !!!! This is ridiculous. Performances are very bad except may Benderes who tried different approach to his acting. All the four cleaners are missing matched as there is no chemistry among them. A police is involved in the crimes of Benderes is killed. This only one police officer controlled the dark side of Benderes. Funny ! The film is below average.
