Just a drama about someone looking for someone. Its not that bad but might be boring to anyone looking for action. The actors were ok. The plot was well paced. The characters were relatable. Not not much action, but watchable.
I watch a lot of random movies and most are really bad. This popped up and I hit play. The thumbnail was more than misleading, that's for sure. It's a SLOW moving movie but at the same time you're curious as to what's going to happen in the next scene. Great to see Lynda Carter and Shelly Long. Dont even remember Wilson in it. Nice story. Nice ending. If you're a fan of random movies give it a shot. I guarantee you've see much worse and honestly this movie is GREAT compared to other randoms.
Notwithstanding the short attention span of the IMDB wackos that have chimed in with their staggering inability to appreciate genuine character acting and a great story, this is a great movie. Never pretentious, just good ole fashion acting and an intriguing plot that offer a twist or two. Shelly long and Lynda Cater are transformed and delightfully on point. Which is not to ignore King Orba's performance which is understated yet simmering. Very underrated and worth a look.
Something to watch at a laid out night, then ''the cleaner'' will be on top of my advice list. Its a mum and son story from the lesser middleclass trailer park neighbourhood somewhere in L. A usa.
Making a living as a housecleaner, people come up to him and asks for other favours too, and this is what the film is all about. It starts in situ, then rolls back and reveals a story so simplebut engaging that you will dash in whether you will or not.
Cast consists of many fallen but not yet forgotten acting stars of hollywood, shelly long of cheers couldnt hide cause her voice are a brandmark and king orba does an orson welles like performance as the cleaner.
Its a story of loveand hate, violence and death, and a heart filled with hope till the bitter end. It aint a bloody shootout movie, its more a search and rescue story that you wont regret taking a part in.
The production is solid as a rock, low budget butmade in a warm glow that only a few of todays filmographers can make. Plot and storyline good, playtime perfect, so the grumpy old man recommends.

There were a few story problems but overall, a very enjoyable film. I loved the cinematography, the settings and the cast. Outstanding performances from Lynda Carter, Shelley Long, Eden Brolin, and King Orba.
The excellent production design underscored the off-the-wall tone of a story about a man (King Orba) living with his mother (Shelley Long) on the edge of poverty in a trailer. To make ends meet, he takes an assignment to find a woman's (Lynda Carter) son, who's estranged from her. An assignment he shouldn't have taken.
