Daisy Ridley Faces Terrorists in New Action Film ‘Cleaner’

LOS ANGELES, CA — Daisy Ridley stars as Joey Locke, a window washer caught in a terrorist takeover in the new action film ‘Cleaner‘, directed by Martin Campbell. The film highlights the challenges and dangers that arise when eco-terrorists target a corrupt energy company during a high-profile party.
Joey, who has a background in special forces, finds her life turned upside down when she receives a call about her brother Michael‘s difficulties at his care home. Michael, portrayed by Matthew Tuck, has autism and is a skilled hacker. In a race against time, Joey takes him to work, where he becomes embroiled in the unfolding chaos.
The film’s antagonist group, Earth Revolution, is led by Marcus, played by Clive Owen, and Noah (Taz Skylar). Their goal is to expose corruption within Agnian Energy, the company hosting the party. As the terrorists storm the venue in disguise, they quickly assert control over the wealthy guests.
Joey, who is outside the building washing windows, witnesses the turmoil inside and overhears crucial information, allowing her to strategize against the attackers. The film paces between tension and dark humor, as Joey uses her skills to confront the terrorists while managing her concern for her brother.
With themes of heroism and corporate malfeasance, ‘Cleaner’ delivers a fast-paced thriller that mixes action with moments of levity. The film has received mixed reviews, but Ridley’s performance has been noted as a standout despite limited screen time for some characters.
The narrative builds upon Joey’s journey from an average window washer to an unexpected heroine, raising questions about ordinary individuals rising to confront larger issues. As the drama unfolds, viewers are left wondering how far Joey will go to save her brother and stop the terrorists.
While ‘Cleaner’ may not be groundbreaking in its commentary, it entertains with slick direction and competent action, ensuring audiences remain engaged throughout its runtime.
