Their just cause is hijacked by an extremist within their ranks, who is ready to murder everyone in the building to send his anarchic message to the world. It falls to an ex-soldier turned window cleaner, played by Ridley, suspended 50 stories up on the outside of the building, to save those trapped inside, including her younger brother.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Daisy Ridley's credible action chops and Martin Campbell's smooth direction keep Cleaner from being a mess, but this thriller borrows one too many elements from better predecessors to have a polished identity of its own.

Tomris Laffly Variety 06/10/2025
James Bond alum Martin Campbell’s modest popcorn caper has murky eco-terrorism ideas and wastes Clive Owen, but knows how to steer a clockwork action movie. Go to Full Review John Nugent Empire Magazine 05/10/2025

Cleaner has good people behind it but this British attempt at a Die Hard ends up just being a bit of a mess. Yippee-ki-nay. Go to Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times 03/11/2025
Regardless, and despite its obvious budget constraints, “Cleaner” is a certainly entertaining, action-packed romp that’s also well-shot. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Don Kaye Moviefone Jul 15

Cleaner only echoes past glories of the genre without finding any depth or voice of its own. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Jun 5

...a sluggishly-paced narrative that contains little in the way of compelling, electrifying sequences... Go to Full Review Fran Chico Fotogramas Mar 10

Martin Campbell has enough experience to make Cleaner an entertaining film, the kind you enjoy for an hour and a half and then forget, serving as a momentary distraction on a stressful day. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Juan 03/05/2025 Only really went to see this because when I seen Daisy Ridley was in it I thought “what’s Rey up to”. Thought it was going to be more of her kicking ass. Didn’t really happen until the last 30 minutes. It’s not bad just really predictable. One thing that I found distracting it might be just a me thing but Daisy’s makeup was too in the opening scene when she was supposed to be getting up. You know what’s also funny about the theater going to experience that no one mentions it’s that knowing someone else made a terrible decision when the movie sucks at the same time. See more KC J 03/05/2025 The main male actor was impressive. I definitely see his acting career going very far!!! See more Scott B 03/05/2025 Great action, very entertaining. Daisy Riley did an excellent job as Joey, the female action hero very reminiscent of the diehard movies excellent action sequences a little light on character development, but still an incredible popcorn movie. See more kenneth p 03/05/2025 The only downside was that there was nothing particularly special about the film. It felt bland. The tension & suspense weren't there. See more Rick 03/04/2025 Well done out of nowhere scenes special effects awesome See more thegreys 03/04/2025 weak, with a stupid concoction of girls. See more Read all reviews
