Cleaners

I wasn't expecting much from this show but holy hell it was bad in so many ways. The acting is ridiculous and bordering on Porn Star quality acting, the actual filming makes the entire show look like its on a row boat in a typhoon. The music ans seen cuts are laughable. The whole show is sad how cheaply it has been put together, and mainly because you can tell they had a decent budget that they could have done much much more with.

Each episode is really only about 15 minutes when you take out the adverts, excessively long credits, and scene cuts where they have added horrible cross cut garbage.

2 stars is being generous.

I love this show! Fast-paced only 1/2 hour. Dialogue is clever, witty and funny. Lots of action.

Great and original.

This series is altogether pretty crappy, but the only thing that motivated me to sit through it was the stunning Emily Osment, who literally saved the show. Without her, the movie is edited with an amateur style, as if with some child's video camera from last Christmas, and the storyline has too many flaws to point out here.The storyline itself says it all. A film about 2 villains as the protagonists, getting a job done. This storyline could go well, or not. This is an example where it has not. So watch it for Emily, or otherwise just don't.There are plenty of other TV series to watch. BTW, Osment stars in a new ABC show called Young and Hungry, so that ought to be another crappy series I'll only watch because of Emily.

Contract Workers (read Killers) Roxi (Osment) and Veronica (Cheriqui) are sent by Mother (Gina Gershon) on a mission to take a car to a certain location. Seems simple enough until they have a flat tire and need to look in the trunk. What they see changes everything.

This could have been pretty good had the Director not fooled around with loud, uncomfortable music and inserting scene shots as thought they were bullets throughout. This was most distracting and gave off that cheesy vibe. The dialogues and acting were pretty good. Okay, we do get a little tired of Gina Gershon curling her lips when the camera is on her. Quite distracting.

Originally, I thought this would be about female assassins, but this story didn't go that way. Maybe in another movie with the Roxie and Veronica, who are pretty good together.

This story takes a page from a Jason Statham movie SAFE and if you have seen that movie, then you know what this is all about. Kind of.

The title is misleading. Cleaners are people who clean up crime scenes or bodies from crime scenes. Here the crime scenes were created. See?

There are a lot of hand-to-hand fights and they are very good. No CGI.

It was the uncomfortable music and scene shots that came in like a Gatling Gun that proved too over the top. (4/10)

Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.

One of the other reviews states that the running time of each episode is 15 minutes when you take into the account of the advertisements. This is INCORRECT because the fact of the matter is the timer stops during the two breaks in each episode for advertisements. I know because I watched the last half of season two just last night. Also, regarding the same review... how can take an opinion serious from somebody who apparently isn't familiar with the word "scene" but is reviewing movies and/or TV.

All in all the show is entertaining which is all it is meant to be. When one episode ends leaving you on the edge of your seat all you need to do is click the play button in the middle of the screen and the next episode starts.
