Cleaner 🎥 2007 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Widowed single father and retired police officer Tom Cutler runs his own crime scene cleaning service. Eight years earlier, Tom’s wife was murdered during a home invasion and robbery, which their young daughter Rose witnessed. Tom receives an order from a Detective Jones to clean the scene of a wealthy home. He enters using a key hidden under a potted plant, catalogues the crime scene and proceeds to clean up the blood and tissue using his own special mixture of chemicals. The next morning, he realizes that he kept the key and goes back to return it.

The home owner, Ann Norcut, seemingly does not know that Tom had been there the previous day, nor why his services would be needed. Tom reasons his office must have mixed up the address. Nevertheless, the two grow suspicious of the situation. Tom asks his assistant about the work order and learns that the police never placed such an order, nor is there a detective named Jones. Tom stashes the order, the photos, his audio notes, and the house key in an envelope and locks them away. Enlisting the help of his friend and former partner Eddie Lorenzo, he learns that Ann’s husband John is missing.

Eddie suspects foul play, as John’s disappearance occurred the day before he was set to testify to a grand jury against corrupt former police commissioner Robert Vaughn. The next day, Ann visits Tom at his office. As he never answered what sort of cleaning services he provides, Ann deduces that it was a crime scene, and asks whether her husband was killed. Tom declines to give a clear answer. Eddie later finds Tom cleaning a scene in a hotel room, and tells him that while the forensic team found no traces of DNA at the scene, they did find professional cleaning chemicals.
