Product Description
Product Description
Single father and former cop Tom Carver (Samuel L. Jackson) has an unusual vocation - he cleans up crime scenes. But when he's called in to sterilize a wealthy suburban residence after a brutal shooting, Carver is shocked to learn he may have unknowingly erased crucial evidence, entangling himself in a dirty criminal cover up. Directed by Renny Harlin and co-starring Eva Mendes, Ed Harris, Keke Palmer, and Luis Gusman, Cleaner is a dark, gritty crime thriller that proves cleaning up is the dirtiest job there is.

Samuel L. Jackson stars as Tom Carver, an ex-cop who's turned to cleaning up biological waste, such as the messy remains of a violent crime scene. A typical call takes him to an upperclass home, where a white leather sofa is spattered with gruesome viscera. After the living room has been rendered antiseptic, Tom discovers that the murder may be connected to a high-profile police corruption case... a case that may implicate him as well. After establishing the promising premise, Cleaner requires that you overlook a lot of implausible plot turns--but if you can suspend your disbelief, there's a lot to enjoy. Jackson gives a typically skilled performance; like Gene Hackman, Jackson is an actor who never fails to deliver a solid, engaging, thoughtful performance that lifts everything around him. Ed Harris also provides his craggy charisma and Luis Guzman (The Limey) continues to be an indispensable support player. Eva Mendes, on the other hand, comes across a bit flat, though she is as lovely to look at as ever. Director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, The Long Kiss Goodnight) oversells the story--this twisty tale of corruption and overheated love would probably play better with the lean, cool, minimal production values of film noir, rather than Harlin's constantly prowling camera--but he definitely infuses the movie with bubbling energy. All in all, not a great film, but a decent diversion for crime thriller fans. --Bret Fetzer

ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A 2021 MOVIE, AND IS A BIT OLDER, IT IS NOT ONE PERCENT DATED. AFTER LEAVING THE POLICE DEPT., JACKSON OPENS A CRIME SCENE, CLEANING COMPANY. HE GOES ON A ROUTINE VISIT & FINDS A VIOLENT BLOOD SCENE IN AN ENORMOUS HOME AND A DEAD MAN. WHEN HE REMEMBERS TO RETURN THE KEY TO THE HOUSE, THE NEXT DAY A DIFFERENT WOMEN , EVA MENDES IS OCCUPYING THE RESIDENCE, AND DENYING ANY DEAD PERSON. JACKSON CALLS HIS OLD PARTNER, I.E. HARRIS , WHO WILL HELP. BUT, AS YOU WILL SEE THE PLOT BECOMES VERY INTRICATE AND COGNITIVE. THE DENOUEMENT AND FINALE WILL THRILL YOU, AS IT HAS TWISTS AND TURNS AND A FULFILLING RESOLUTION. SOLID PERFORMANCES BY ALL ACTORS, NO HUMOR, A SERIOUS AND MAGNIFICENT THRILLER AND BREATHTAKING MYSTERY. ENJOY!

On retrouve la patte du réalisateur, qui met en scène une trame solide et efficace. On entre dès le début du film dans le vif du sujet. Les personnages principaux sont présentés et l’intrigue se met en place. Le sujet est original, il sort des sentiers battus habituellement observés, bien que se passant à nouveau dans la communauté policière, le métier de nettoyeur, assez méconnu et très peu traité au cinéma, est montré de manière très réaliste, les rebondissements se succèdent, le tout emmené sur un rythme fluide, jusqu’au final, qui dévoile la solution.
Après la mort de sa femme, Tom Cutler, un ancien policier, s’est reconverti en nettoyeur de scènes de crimes. Un jour, il est appelé pour effacer les traces d’un assassinat ayant eu lieu dans une résidence de luxe. Il apprend ensuite que le mari d’Ann Norcut, à qui appartient la maison, a mystérieusement disparu. Il comprend que le crime n’a jamais été signalé à la police et qu’il s’est fait piéger. Tom décide alors de tout révéler à son ancien co-équipier, Eddie Lorenzo, afin que celui-ci lui apporte son aide. Il mène alors son enquête afin de découvrir ce qui s’est réellement passé.
Le film bénéficie d’un casting trois étoiles, avec trois stars en têtes d’affiches.
Samuel JACKSON interprète Tom Cutler, ancien flic, maintenant nettoyeur de scènes de crimes. Très vite mis au courant de l’horreur de la situation, il décide de découvrir la vérité. L’acteur est comme à son habitude, très convaincant. Il réussit à rendre son personnage crédible, en insistant sur tous les détails qui forgent sa personnalité et marque ainsi son évolution au fur et à mesure du métrage.
Ed HARRIS incarne Eddie Lorenzo, ancien co-équipier de Tom et également ami très proche, puisque ce dernier est aussi le parrain de sa fille, Rose. L’acteur est parfait, il joue tout en nuances et réussit ce qu’il sait faire de mieux, vêtir son personnage d’une ambiguïté morale, qui amène le spectateur à se demander quel est son rôle précis dans cette histoire, bien plus complexe qu’il n’y parait au départ.
Eva MENDES joue le rôle d’Ann Norcut, épouse d’un mari disparu. Elle cherche à en savoir plus et va aider Tom dans ses investigations. L’actrice est très crédible, interprétant son personnage avec juste ce qu’il faut de sobriété et de retenue. On comprendra mieux avec les séquences de la dernière partie du film, son comportement quelque peu en retrait ainsi que ses motifs personnels.
Côté technique, le Blu Ray est digne du support HD. L’image est réellement superbe, les couleurs sont lumineuses et agréables, le contraste est très bien traité, notamment lors des scènes nocturnes. Le son est très correct, légèrement supérieur en VOST, même si la Version Française bénéficie d’une belle qualité également. Aucun bonus vidéo sur la galette. A noter que le film n’est pas contenu dans un boitier plastique, mais dans un boitier métallique du plus bel effet.
En conclusion, voici un très bon thriller, qui se veut efficace, que ce soit au niveau de la forme ou du fond. Basé sur un scénario bien ficelé, il est certes classique dans sa réalisation et quelque peu académique, mais n’en demeure pas moins un très bon divertissement, sans prétention. Il remplit parfaitement son rôle de film à suspense et reste prenant du début à la fin.
Working with a small cast of characters (all played to the hilt by a top notch bunch of faces) and keeping the story tight as a drum (not one of the 86 minutes of the running time are wasted) Harlin shows that there is more to him than blowing stuff up... Ok so the ending is a little too Hollywood but that to me is just a minor quibble.
The bad news is that the dvd don't do the film justice on the presentation front, surely the commentry from the American disc could have been ported over and why is the film presented in 1.85:1 widescreen when it was shot in 2.40:1???
Ahh well at least the film makes up for these small glitches!
