Terrorist have taken control of a high rise building and only one person is in the right place at the wrong time. Now these terrorists are going to have to deal with an unlikely hero… the window cleaner.

Somehow a movie called Cleaner does not star Jason Statham. Sure, he can be The Mechanic, The Beekeeper, The Transporter, or (the upcoming) Working Man… but apparently he’s not a Cleaner. Jason Statham doesn’t DO windows. Instead, swap in Daisy Ridley… you can barely tell them apart (they’re both British)!

Anyhoo… she’s an ex-soldier turned window washer on a London high rise when nogoodniks take over a nogoodnik energy company’s party. Now she has to get off the window washing platform and into the building to kick some butt.

Probably maybe the movie sticks Ridley on the outside of the building for way too long and maybe it needs more action set pieces sooner. But, hey, once things go hand-to-hand (and gun-to-body), it’s pretty good. Some fun stunts and some individual cool moments make it pretty satisfying for a low expectation actioner.

Daisey Ridley is always appealing and, worse come to worse, she can Force Push some baddies if her small frame can’t flip them out a window. She’s charming, especially during a sequence where she can’t swear (but does repeatedly).

There’s not a lot to this very basic Die Hard clone. It gets the job done without really trying too hard. Good casting, some good stunts, fights, and its 90 minutes in and out. Bing bang bong.
