Cleaner

I so wanted this film to be good it's a shame it couldn't produce on the promises. It has a good cast, a solid if a little unoriginal premise this unfortunately results in a lackluster Die Hard wantabee that feels like it didn't know what it wanted to be it's slow start is excusable as the main characters are introduced in a slightly clunky manner.

As the story unravels the disjointed plot seems to not fully understand what it wants to be and spends time building in one direction to pivot and swing from a survival against all odds to an army of one. This results in both being slightly disappointing a weak narrative and a one dimensional story that lacks developement and has unlikable protagonists. Above all the romp that should make up for any plot holes or weak characterisation with an exciting non stop action adventure is just not there.

This average attempt just shows again that as good a film makers the British are we just can't seem to do the blockbuster action movie that's the staple of American cinema and when we attempt to do so something about it just feels sad and a little silly this wasn't always the case but modern British action movies don't stand up well to the American attempts.
