The Clean Up Crew

Just because this film stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Melissa Leo, and Antonio Banderas don't be fooled. This is the most tiresome, tedious, uninteresting, and downright boring movie any of the above actors has ever been in. I'd like to blame the Covid area, or the writers strike. But that doesn't explain why this group of particular actors chose to be in this movie. My one word review would be rancid.

Despite having a seemingly solid cast, the end result of this film isn't anything special as the finish product comes off as an over the top action comedy trying too hard to be style over substance and too hard on being witty or funny but it simply isn't interesting. This is apparently a British film and the humor here just isn't funny. The plot isn't exactly anything to fully invest in and at times was rather confusing. There was a few solid action shot gun sequences but overall things felt a little too cartoonish and unrealistic. In the end it's simply a run of the mill action comedy without much interest.

I started watching it because of the (allt time great) actor Antonio Banderas, but even his performance isnt enough to make this worth my while...

The bad: Antonio Banderas' character is pretty silly, but at least his performance has got some charm to it. BUT the other (unknown) Irish actors are plain bland and acting way below average. Mind you, better like watching subtitles otherwise you wouldnt understand half of the Irish accents.

NOT funny. NOT thrilling. NOT original. It's a gangsta comedy WANNABE. The Irish arent any good at making movies. The Brits are. But this is an Irish production and it painfully shows. NOT recommended, not even for the Antonio Banderas fans, of which I am one!

I did NOT expect this to be more than a 7/10 but the characters, the performance by the LEGENDARY Antonio Banderas made this movie so good.

The storyline is even good it's interesting not gonna lie and I like the story it's good.

The characters are good they have a good relationship with each other and they also have their problems with each other and overall try to solve the mystery of whose money are they holding.

The action is also good considering the low budget cost of the movie's production but it turned out to be good , better than I expected for sure

The BEST part about the movie and the main reason I am watching this is because of the LEGENDARY Antonio Banderas he carried the movie EASILY his performance is one of his best , his character is good and everything about him is so good , every scene with him is enjoyable and sometimes unpredictable considering his character's personality but overall I enjoyed his performance so much in here he is the greatest actor of all time.

Overall the movie is fun it exceeded my expectations and gave me this wonderful fun movie!

8/10.

Awful acting, boring script - felt like a second rate Guy Ritchie movie - aiming to be a British crime movie but full.of Irish characters. It's his fault, he started this confusing genre.

This movie pushes the boundaries of how much of a diabolical script can sound funny if spoken in an Irish accent - the answer, not very much of it.

I found myself scrolling on my phone several times throughout the movie. There was no plot interesting enough to drag me back.

Believe me, this movie is terrible - don't waste your money and an hour and a half of your life.

Is this the end of good old British crime dramas, made in the UK and starring accomplished British actors? - Unfortunately it seems so and it really doesn't work.
