This film is a crime scene cleaner who unknowingly participates in a cover-up when he cleans a posh home in a rich neighbourhood.
I think "Cleaner" has the potential to be a decent crime thriller. It has great cinematography, and it creates an atmosphere of suspense and threat throughout the film. The plot is decent and engaging, though vaguely predictable. Keke Palmer is actually convincing as a troubled teenager, I think she has potential to make it big. Eva Mendes, on the other hand, is rather bland and unconvincing.
However, the clean up scenes in the beginning of the film are entirely unnecessary. One scene would have been enough to convey the point, but the gore lasts for over 10 minutes. Maybe the director wants to enhance the scary and uneasy atmosphere, but this is a thriller not a horror film! These scenes distracts the viewers, and could have been cut out.
