Film noir as low-brow comedy; that's the platform, that's the m.o. for "Code Name: Cleaner", a forgettable, but arguably transgressive film("Double Indemnity" wouldn't have a gag reel this funny) which reimagines Dashiel Film noir as low-brow comedy; that's the platform, that's the m.o. for "Code Name: Cleaner", a forgettable, but arguably transgressive film("Double Indemnity" wouldn't have a gag reel this funny) which reimagines Dashiel Hammett as Keenan Ivory Wayans. A janitor indeed makes a good everyman, but "Code Name: the Cleaner" isn't really serious about reinventing film noir for a demographic that doesn't watch Turner Classic Movies. For some reason, the film shies away from going to that absurd level the audience is anticipating.

Not so bad action comedy. However, I would say, the action part looks rather silly and way unrealistic. I love Lucy Liu and Cedric. She's gorgeous as always.

It was an awful movie with little humor, the plot was dumb and confusing. Don't these actors have a reputation to hold? It was really dumb, don't see it.

Though not a highly publicised movie, it still had many moments for laughter. A simple movie that is simply enjoyable.

This film only gets a little emotion when Lucy Liu arrives on the scene , but the great Cedric also managed to cause a few laughs . The remaining characters are only supposed actors of comedy that even caused me a small smile.

A bad story, confusing, but funny. The story went by so quickly, and was confusing. The movie did have some good jokes, that made me laugh out loud. Sadly, this also had awkward moments that lasted to long. It isn't good, or worth a watch.
