Daisy Ridley’s New Movie Gets Ripped Apart by Critics – Is It Really That Bad?

Currently, Daisy Ridley’s latest action film, titled “Cleaner“, is receiving harsh criticism from the reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes.

With 55 reviews, the Rotten Tomatoes Score is currently at a 49% Rotten.

What do the reviews say?

Critics have generally panned Cleaner, labeling it as a dull imitation of the original Die Hard. They argue that the movie lacks originality by heavily relying on the 1988 blockbuster without introducing any fresh ideas, leaving audiences with a sense of déjà vu instead of a unique perspective.

The screenplay is frequently characterized as repetitive and foreseeable, failing to offer complexity or novelty. Speed is also a concern, as certain critics argue that the movie begins slowly, investing too much in setting up the story before escalating the action.

Despite its arrival, many critics are left unimpressed, labeling the scenes as commonplace or lacking finesse in execution.

The plot seems less believable due to illogical contradictions and implausible situations, leading some to criticize it as overly reliant on unlikely occurrences or coincidences.

Although Daisy Ridley’s acting receives accolades, many viewers believe her talents are underutilized due to a mediocre script and uninspiring direction. While some consider Cleaner an enjoyable action movie to watch, the prevailing sentiment among unfavorable reviews is that it falls flat and lacks the power to leave a lasting impression.

Release info

The movie “Cleaner” was scheduled for release on February 21st, but neither Fandango nor Regal has listed any theaters showing it yet. We’ll provide an update as soon as we have more information.

What is Cleaner about?

The story unfolds in contemporary London. A band of passionate activists, spearheaded by Clive Owen, storm an energy company’s yearly gala. They capture around 300 hostages with the aim of revealing the corruption within the event’s attendees. However, their noble intentions are corrupted by an extremist among them, who is prepared to slaughter everyone in the building to spread his destructive message globally. The responsibility of rescuing those inside falls on a former soldier-turned-window cleaner, portrayed by Daisy Ridley, who finds herself dangling 50 stories high on the exterior of the building.

What’s next with Daisy Ridley and Star Wars?

It’s been rumored that Daisy Ridley’s upcoming “Star Wars” movie, tentatively titled “Star Wars: New Jedi Order,” is still in production with Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy at the helm. The latest news suggests that the film has cycled through four screenwriters, with George Nolfi being the current one.
