Stars: Daisy Ridley, Matthew Tuck, Clive Owen, Lee Boardman, Rufus Jones, Taz Skylar, Ruth Gemmell | Written by Matthew Orton, Simon Uttley, Paul Andrew Williams | Directed by Martin Campbell

Since the original Die Hard took the world by storm in 1988, it has inspired countless sequels and knock-offs. Often built around the same basic premise, these films have become a sub-genre in their own right. From Die Hard 2: Die Harder set in an airport, to Under Siege on a naval vessel, Passenger 57 on a plane, and even Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down in the White House, the formula has been repeated in various locations, with a lone hero taking on the bad guys and saving the hostages.

Now, Cleaner, directed by Martin Campbell and written by Matthew Orton, Simon Uttley (James Hyde – The Very Thought of You), and Paul Andrew Williams, brings the formula back to where it all started,...

Martin Campbell’s Cleaner sets out to recapture the magic of the director’s two James Bond films, 1995’s GoldenEye and 2006’s Casino Royale, by engaging with ripped-from-the-headlines issues while also basking in the ostensibly reassuring warmth of a Cold War-era franchise blockbuster formula. Here the issues are climate change and radical activism, and the formula is a distinctly Die Hard-grade concoction.

John McClane facsimile Joey Locke (Daisy Ridley) is an ex-military window cleaner who ends up dangling from the London headquarters of the ethically dubious Agnian Energy corporation while an investors gala is taken over by eco-terrorists. Trapped inside the skyscraper is her autistic adult brother, Michael (Matthew Tuck), who is, of course, a brilliant computer hacker annoyingly obsessed with the MCU (he carries a rubber Thor hammer in public and namedrops Kevin Feige in casual conversation). We also get two Hans Grubers: terrorist leader Marcus (Clive Owen), an...

ScreenRant can exclusively reveal a new image for Cleaner. This action-thriller is arriving in just two months, with a theatrical release set for February 21. The plot focuses on what happens when a group of criminal activists hijack a massive gala and take in 300 hostages. As one of the criminals threatens to kill these people, the gala building's window cleaner must work to rescue the hostages. Cleaner features Star Wars' Daisy Ridley in the lead role, with a supporting cast that includes Clive Owen, Taz Skylar, Flavia Watson, Ray Fearon, Rufus Jones, and Lee Boardman.

Now, ScreenRant exclusively reveals a new image for Cleaner. The image is a behind-the-scenes look from the action movie's set, as elements such as the boom microphone are seen. Ridley's character has her toes pressed...

If you thought Daisy Ridley’s stunts in Star Wars were thrilling, wait until you see her in ‘Cleaner.’

In this Sky Original movie directed by Martin Campbell, known for ‘Goldeneye’ and ‘Casino Royale,’ Ridley stars as Joey Locke, an ex-soldier turned window cleaner.

She finds herself in a perilous situation, dangling from a London skyscraper while trying to save hundreds from a group of criminal activists led by Clive Owen.

In ‘Cleaner,’ Ridley’s character is not just fighting dirt on windows but also tackling a cell of extremists at an energy firm’s gala.

The extremists aim to expose corporate corruption but their efforts take a dangerous turn under their radical leader.

With her younger brother’s life also hanging in the balance, Joey must use her military skills and a whole lot of guts to thwart their plans.

The action-packed trailer shows Ridley in full combat mode—punching,...

As anyone who's watched any of the Star Wars sequel trilogy will already know, Daisy Ridley is no stranger to a spot of badass action. Fighting Kylo Ren on Starkiller Base in The Force Awakens, taking down the Praetorian Guards in The Last Jedi, *that* flip over the Tie Silencer in The Rise Of Skywalker — all in a day's work for our Daisy. But all of that pales in comparison to what the Magpie star has in store with her latest movie, Sky Original action joint Cleaner. Directed by none other than Goldeneye and Casino Royale helmsman Martin Campbell, this one is set to see Ridley get her John McClane on as an ex-soldier-turned-window-cleaner tasked with saving hundreds of people from a Clive Owen led cell of criminal activists — all while suspended at great height from a London skyscraper. Check out the vertiginous first trailer below:

Sporting a fresh trim...

Daisy Ridley joins forces with GoldenEye and Casino Royale director Martin Campbell for the upcoming thriller, Cleaner. Here’s a trailer.

While Lucasfilm dithers over whether or not its umpteenth script is good enough to get another Star Wars movie up and running, sequel trilogy star Daisy Ridley is taking on another genre entirely. Bruce Willis and all of the other Hollywood stars who’ve tried to emulate the success of Die Hard are squarely in her sights and she’s coming for them.

Ridley will next appear in Cleaner, an upcoming thriller in which her ex-army skills become vital in saving innocent lives. Here’s the synopsis:

Radical activists take over an energy company’s annual gala taking place within Western Europe’s tallest skyscraper – The Shard in London. The group takes 300 hostages to expose the corruption of the hosts, but a zealous extremist within their ranks hijacks their...

Stars: Liam Neeson, Guy Pearce, Monica Bellucci, Taj Atwal, Ray Fearon, Harold Torres, Ray Stevenson | Written by Dario Scardapane | Directed by Martin Campbell

Liam Neeson plays a rogue hitman with Alzheimer’s in this remake of the 2003 Belgian action thriller Memory of a Killer. Directed by Martin Campbell, it’s a cut above the usual standard of Taken knock-offs.

Liam Neeson has built himself an entire sub-genre of thrillers since the success of Taken in 2010. Often referred to, somewhat cheekily, as the “geri-action” genre, the films all have the same thing in common – grizzled, 60-something Liam Neeson taking out lots of bad guys in as violent a manner as possible.

When Memory begins, it’s very much business as usual for this sort of film. Neeson plays no-nonsense hitman Alex Lewis, who we first meet taking out a shady-looking character in a hospital with ruthless efficiency and a hint of cruelty,...

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker on Wbgr-fm on April 28th, reviewing “Memory,” the latest action film, based on a Belgium novel/film, starring Liam Neeson, in theaters April 29th.

Rating: 4.0/5.0

Neeson is Alex Lewis, a contract assassin, who is wrapping up his harsh career because he is having memory problems … his brother has full blown Alzheimer’s, and he suspects it’s happening to him. When he gets involved with human traffickers – ultimately led by a wealthy boss named Davana (Monica Bellucci) – he draws the line on a certain kill, which gets the FBI, represented by agents Vincent (Guy Pierce) and Linda (Taj Atwal), closer to his capture. Can Alex remember how to flee?

“Memory” is in theaters beginning April 29th. Featuring Liam Neeson, Guy Pierce, Monica Bellucci, Ray Stevenson, Lee Boardman and Taj Atwai,. Screenplay adapted by Dario Scardapane. Directed by Martin Campbell.

Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Sarah Belcher, Malcolm Freeman, Lucy Russell, Liz White, Simon Paisley Day, John Heffernan, Lee Boardman, Paul Ryan, Kate O’Flynn, Tim Steed, Nicholas Day, Tim McMullan, Richard Goulding, Oliver Maltman | Written by James Graham | Directed by Toby Haynes

Toby Hayne’s untimely and somewhat exploitive chartering of the creation and ultimately the execution of what may just be one of the most consequential political tragedies to befall on the British people by the British people in modern times – Brexit: The Uncivil War is, like its namesake, a disaster.

The subject matter of Hayne’s film has, of course, an interesting basis to be brought to the screen. Almost two years on from David Cameron’s ludicrous political party gamble in a referendum vote on the E.U. and the UK government (nor people for that matter) are nowhere closer formulating a promising deal or coming together to...

The announcement of the film “Brexit” — which aired in the U.K. on Channel 4 before its HBO bow on Jan. 19 — engendered serious criticism from the British, and understandably so. The film, which looks at recent history in the manner HBO productions like “Game Change” and “Recount” had done, takes on a story whose very fundamentals are still in doubt. For those who believe the Brexit vote, a plebiscite that resulted in the U.K.’s protracted quitting of the European Union, turned out the way it did because of nefarious or illegal tactics, “Brexit” covers material that’s too painful, and too unsettled, to handle.

But the protest didn’t account for the fact that the film, indeed, addresses various potential causes, so much so that it feels at times more like a polemic against the forces that led to upheaval than like a fiction film. In its multifarious...

"How to change the course of history?" HBO has revealed a full-length trailer for a movie called Brexit, also known as Brexit: The Uncivil War, which is actually a made-for-tv film but we can't help feature it anyway. Benedict Cumberbatch stars in this as Dominic Cummings, the now infamous political strategist who utilized controversial campaigning and social media tactics to successfully (unfortunately) spearhead the "Vote Leave" campaign. For those from America, Cummings seems to be the Steve Bannon of the UK, an outsider who riled up the public to make a rash decision that is still being debated. The cast includes John Heffernan, Rory Kinnear, Liz White, Richard Goulding, Paul Ryan, Oliver Maltman, Nicholas Day, and Lee Boardman. Made by the director of the Emmy-nominated "USS Callister" episode of "Black Mirror". This looks damn good; I dig the freshness of the look and feel, and that it shows all his dirty tricks.

Talk about newsworthy.

With British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit plans running up against vast Parliamentary opposition, chaos beckons for the United Kingdom. I’m based in London and this topic’s on everyone’s lips right now. After the March 29th Article 50 deadline passes, will we leave without a deal and commit economic suicide, including food and drug shortages? Will be end up as a vassal state, subject to EU regulations but unable to influence them? Will Brexit just not happen at all?

Nobody knows. Which is why it’s a smart and timely moment for HBO to drop the trailer for Brexit, which is going to try and show us how we got into this mess in the first place. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Dominic Cummings, one of the chief architects of the campaign to leave the European Union. Ever since the referendum, there’s been a slow...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Do No Harm,” the second episode of “Outlander” Season 4.

In the wake of Stephen Bonnet (Ed Speleers) robbing Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) in the “Outlander” season four premiere, the weary travelers still managed to make it to River Run, a stunning North Carolina plantation run by Jamie’s Aunt Jocasta (Maria Doyle Kennedy), who was left blind by glaucoma. Jamie was slightly ashamed to show up penniless, but Jocasta welcomed them with open arms. Still, it was not an easy road as almost immediately Claire and Jamie experienced what it was like to see slaves working such land up close and personal.

And Jocasta’s motives were not entirely selfless anyway. She knew that it would benefit her to have a man like Jamie around. Remember, this was 1767 — Jocasta was definitely fending off advances from men...

Skyfall star Rory Kinnear and The Crown’s John Heffernan have joined Benedict Cumberbatch-fronted drama Brexit (w/t) as the first image of the Sherlock star, without his long locks, has been unveiled.

The Voyage Of The Damned is a solid instalment for Da Vinci's Demons, despite lacking in focus...

This review contains spoilers.

2.3 The Voyage Of The Damned

One of the little pleasures of Da Vinci's Demons is the way the show works Da Vinci's actual achievements into the show. From his invention of the Gatling-style machine gun to his testing of flying wings in the very early stages of the first season, when the show brings one of Da Vinci's mad inventions to the screen, it usually is one of the coolest aspects of the episode. During this episode, we get a prolonged genesis and creation of one of Leonardo's most interesting creations: the submarine.

After getting thrown off the boat he was hoping to abscond with after doing a pretty good Riario impersonation (complete with hipster hat and Renaissance sunglasses) and getting in a...

Da Vinci's Demons is becoming crowded. Here's Ron's review of the latest episode...

This review contains spoilers.

2.2 The Blood Of Brothers

If you're someone famous who lived during the time period around the reign of Lorenzo Medici, specifically 1478 or so, then just accept the fact that you're going to be on Da Vinci's Demons. That's just how it works. Whether you're a famous artist, Vlad Tepes of Wallachia, or the guy the American continents are named after, if you're anywhere around Leonardo and company, you're going to end up being on Starz. That's just the way the show operates, and I think that fast-and-loose use of history proves to be beneficial.

For example, the character of Nico wasn't a major player in the first series, but since his kidnapping by Riario, I can only assume he's about to become more important to the show's general plot.

David Gyasi and EastEnders' Jo Joyner are to star in new BBC One series The Interceptor.

A Rome feature film is becoming less of a "maybe some day" and more of a "definitely soon." At the end of 2008 it was reported here that series co-creator Bruno Heller wanted to see Rome rise again. There doesn't seem to be much holding it back now, with the script having been completed and the stars having a desire to film it.

HBO may be realizing that they prematurely cancelled Rome, a co-production with the BBC. The program shows the violent transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Heller had a multi-year plan for the series but, when he learned the it was ending after the second season, he hurried his story along. The series stars Kevin McKidd and Ray Stevenson, and also features Indira Varma, David Bamber, Chiara Mastalli, Manfredi Aliquo, Suzanne Bertish, Max Pirkis, Lee Boardman, Esther Hall, and Ciaran Hinds.

Despite being one of HBO's most popular TV shows, Rome was cancelled after two short seasons. Devoted viewers were outraged that the historical drama could be cut so short. Now, if the series' co-creator Bruno Heller has his way, Rome will rise again.

A co-production mainly between HBO and the BBC, Rome showcases the often violent transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. While past dramatizations of this period have focused almost exclusively on the political leaders of the day, much of Rome's screen time is devoted to two common soldiers, Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson). The large cast also includes Indira Varma, David Bamber, Chiara Mastalli, Manfredi Aliquo, Suzanne Bertish, Max Pirkis, Lee Boardman, Esther Hall, and Ciaran Hinds.

Rome ran for two seasons and 22 episodes on HBO, debuting on August 28, 2005. The premiere attracted 3.8 million viewers and lots of positive reviews. A few weeks later,...
