The Cleaner

It irritates me to no end when people review and pan and give a low rating to a quiet movie - which this one is - because it has "no action". In fact, I just added an extra star to make up for several low ranks by people who wanted "more action" or panned it for "not enough action".

Want nothing but action MOVIEs? Then watch nothing but action fricking movies! (I like them too, but not as a steady diet.)

This is a quiet movie that leads you through the story via a grown man and his bicycle. You meet several interesting characters on this journey and all with loaded stories.

You get to see some old favorites like Shelley Long and Lynda Evans (still beautiful). Don't forget Luke Wilson. There are some known and loved character actors, too, that you'll recognize and appreciate.

But action? Nope. SO - if you want action - do NOT watch this! If you want a meander through the lives of some people you may or may not know, this is your film (NOT ACTION MOVIE!!) to watch and enjoy.

Notwithstanding the short attention span of the IMDB wackos that have chimed in with their staggering inability to appreciate genuine character acting and a great story, this is a great movie. Never pretentious, just good ole fashion acting and an intriguing plot that offer a twist or two. Shelly long and Lynda Cater are transformed and delightfully on point. Which is not to ignore King Orba's performance which is understated yet simmering. Very underrated and worth a look.

Something to watch at a laid out night, then ''the cleaner'' will be on top of my advice list. Its a mum and son story from the lesser middleclass trailer park neighbourhood somewhere in L. A usa.

Making a living as a housecleaner, people come up to him and asks for other favours too, and this is what the film is all about. It starts in situ, then rolls back and reveals a story so simplebut engaging that you will dash in whether you will or not.

Cast consists of many fallen but not yet forgotten acting stars of hollywood, shelly long of cheers couldnt hide cause her voice are a brandmark and king orba does an orson welles like performance as the cleaner.

Its a story of loveand hate, violence and death, and a heart filled with hope till the bitter end. It aint a bloody shootout movie, its more a search and rescue story that you wont regret taking a part in.

The production is solid as a rock, low budget butmade in a warm glow that only a few of todays filmographers can make. Plot and storyline good, playtime perfect, so the grumpy old man recommends.

"The Cleaner" is about a working class man who gets unexpectedly embroiled in something messy. The story itself is fairly interesting, but character development is inadequate, so I don't find myself caring for any of them.

This movie is legit, I'm surprised.

Well cast, shot, acted.

Art Department? This lead guy King Orba, not the best name, looks great on camera. He kills it. Such an interesting character.

Maybe the music could use some love, I think.

Well done.
