Low-energy and grindingly mediocre, it adds a whole new dimension to Harlin's wildly uneven oeuvre: tedium. Full Review |

I did like the dynamic between Samuel L. Jackson and Keke Palmer. I’d like to see them play father and daughter in the better film. Full Review |

It's not that Cleaner is a terrible film, it just doesn't rear back and sock the viewer in the jaw like a great thriller should. It's mild sauce from the first frame to the last. Full Review |

...a substantial improvement over some of filmmaker Renny Harlin's more recent efforts... Full Review |

2.5/5 |
