Synopsis

''Cleaner'' is an action thriller directed by Martin Campbell and starring Daisy Ridley 

The film places both the characters and the viewer in a tension-filled situation and several hundred meters high.

The story follows Joey (Daisy Ridley), a former soldier who works as a window cleaner in a skyscraper in London, a routine job that soon turns into a desperate fight for survival. 

During the annual gala of a powerful energy company, a group of activists storms the building and takes over three hundred people hostage to denounce the company's corruption. 

What begins as a radical protest transforms into a critical situation when the assailants threaten to unleash a massacre. Joey, trapped outside the building and suspended more than fifty floors up, discovers that her own brother is among the hostages. 

With no possibility of immediate intervention from the authorities and time against her, she must rely on her past and bring to light her military training, ingenuity, and cool-headedness.

Her goal? to infiltrate the skyscraper and neutralize the threat from within, every move could mean the difference between life and death.

Action, suspense, and a strong emotional component focused on family bonds and moral responsibility in extreme situations. ''Cleaner'' proposes a work of resilience and courage in the face of chaos, where an apparently ordinary woman becomes the only hope to save hundreds of innocents.

  • 6.3 Roger EbertMonica Castillo 'Cleaner' is a concept action movie with a bit of heart and of course, plenty of high-flying antics from an impossible situation. Read
  • 4.0 EmpireJohn Nugent '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. Read
  • The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck Campbell clearly knows his way around this sort of material, resulting in some tense, well-staged action sequences that make Cleaner reasonably diverting for its concise running time. But the film… Read
