There is always a chance that "Die Hard" will be imitated. The fundamental idea of one hero versus many adversaries in one location has been the basis for many imitations of the landmark action movie from 1988. A business celebration is disrupted by a group of terrorists in "Cleaner afdah," leaving everyone's safety in the hands of an unfit individual. A high-rise building serves as the main setting for the action. Nevertheless, the film's writing by Simon Uttley, Paul Andrew Williams, and Matthew Orton does not strictly adhere to John McClane's style. Due to financial constraints, the physical highlights of "Cleaner" can be postponed until the very end.
Joey has been a survivor since she was a little child growing up in an abusive home. After her brother, Michael, was removed from another group home and need immediate care that Joey cannot provide, she is left to care for him as an adult. At Agnian Energy's corporate headquarters, where the leadership team is preparing to deliver their latest greenwashing message and organize a shareholder banquet, she is late for her work as a skyscraper window washer. Derek (Gavin Fleming), Daisy's boss, is prepared to make her work through the night in order to make up for her tardiness. Michael lurks about the building while Joey tries to complete her assignments.
Joey quickly reveals her comfort level with heights when she jumps out of her apartment building window to escape her violent father's ways. She grows into a resolute adult who despises authority, as the film makes clear. After being kicked out of the military, she was left to look after Michael. Her already hectic day is made worse by the tech-savvy and cuddly sibling, who always has a copy of Thor's hammer with him and requires some reassurance while being picked up from school and brought to Joey's building. "Cleaner" does a good job of positioning the characters by keeping Joey separate from Michael as she complies with Gerald's requirements.
