Cleaner

Actors:  Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, Eva Mendes, Luis Guzmán, Keke Palmer
Rating:  7 out of 10, Samuel L. Jackson in a departure role in which nary an M.F. is uttered.  The scenes between him and Ed Harris are worth watching the rest of the movie which is kind of formulaic and predictable.  Jackson plays an ex-cop who’s now a crime scene cleaner and finds himself pulled into a conspiracy challenging friendships and his future.  An interesting premise but it asks the audience for a little too much suspension of disbelief.  Guzman gets to play a serious part instead of his usual comic sidekick and is effective.  There’s a much better movie hiding somewhere inside this. 
MVP:  Samuel L. Jackson as Tom Cutler the cleaner who is played by everybody else
