In the 1994 movie "Leon" the assassin was also called a "cleaner." This movie is about a different kind of cleaner.
Samuel L. Jackson is Tom Cutler, former cop and single parent, who now works for a cleaning service. One of his specialties is cleaning up the bloody mess at crime scenes after murders. He takes it in stride, wears all the necessary protective equipment, and uses his own personal favorite mix of cleaning agents and sanitizers to make sure all possible bacteria and viruses are killed. He is thorough and he is good.
Tom's best friend and godfather to his daughter is Ed Harris as investigator Eddie Lorenzo. Eva Mendes is Ann Norcut and Luis Guzmán is Det. Jim Vargas.
The murder mystery gets going when Tom gets a clean-up order for the home of the Norcuts. He finds a key under the flower pot and a very bloody mess on the white sofa, the floor, and the wall. When he leaves it is spotless. Another routine job.
However, Tom shortly realizes that something is wrong, Mr Norcut seems to be "missing" and his wife knows nothing about the order to clean the place.
A mostly interesting movie about solving this mystery about the disappearance of Norcut. Jackson and Harris are good, as they always are.
SPOILERS: It turns out that Eddie was having an affair with Mrs Norcut. For reasons too complex to discuss here, it became necessary for Eddie to get rid of Mr Norcut, and he was the one who ordered the home to be "cleaned." In the final climax Eddie had a cocked gun to Tom's head and them we hear a gunshot. It was Tom's daughter who shot Eddie before he killed her dad.
