The Cleaner

About This Movie

The Cleaner (2014) has this gritty, almost relentless vibe that pulls you into Daniel's descent. The pacing is interesting—starts slow, but as he digs deeper, it’s like you’re on this twisted ride with him. The atmosphere feels thick with suspense, and the fantasy elements creep in unexpectedly, mixing with the raw action. Practical effects are decent, adding a certain weight to the violence that feels more grounded. The performances have this edge, especially with the lead—he captures that sense of desperation really well. What’s distinctive? It’s how it blends the personal vendetta with larger supernatural elements, making you question what’s real and what’s not. It’s not your typical revenge flick.
