FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://talkingfilms.net/cleaner-review-daisy-ridley-shines-in-a-die-hard-inspired-thriller/ "Cleaner is a functional action-thriller that meets the genre's basic requirements without ever truly standing out. Daisy Ridley's all-in commitment elevates the material, but Martin Campbell's competent direction can't hide a predictable script and a thematic exploration that, while respectable, remains surface-level. In the end, it's 90 minutes of decent entertainment, but one that won't leave a lasting impact in the endless lineup of Die Hard's spiritual successors." Rating: B-

"Cleaner" ticks the basics boxes for an action thriller, whilst peddling the usual woke tropes. My advice, skip the first 20 minutes of this film. Its filled with the usual woke prattle about diversity, patriarchy, climate change, blah, blah, blah. All the while subtly pushing an unsavoury narrative, that the Brit military, are somehow the good guys. Whats left thereafter, is a functional action thriller, with an Audrey Hepburn style, tough girl character. The whole proposition is vaguely reminiscent of the first "Die Hard" film, only nowhere near as entertaining and endearing. In summary, a basic Brit action thriller, that offers up the what you might expect, once the lecturing has died down.
