What is The Clean Up Crew about?
The movie follows a group of people who stumble upon a briefcase containing 2 million pounds while cleaning crime scenes. Gabriel Barrett (played by Antonio Banderas), a ruthless mob boss, and Officer James, who has lost his morals, are after them for the money.
This film’s plot has as much to do with how its characters deal with themselves as it does with external threats. While each member of the group desires this money, there are also ethical considerations they have to confront. However, the film failed to impress some fans, here are some reviews on IMDB,
"As a huge fan of Antonio Banderas, I decided to give this a watch, and oh man, this was some of the dummest sh!te I've seen in a long while. After the first few ridiculously placed and pointless Machiavelli quotes, each one afterwards went from eye rolls, to cringe, to absolute annoyance," commented one fan.
"Banderas plays a Spanish crime boss based in Ireland who is in cahoots with corrupt local police. This is established with some silly opening scenes, which at least tells us how to take this film - as a black comedy. A few years ahead of the opening and things go awry as a shootout during a payoff leaves a case of money missing and the cops unpaid," commented another fan.
"I started watching it because of the (allt time great) actor Antonio Banderas, but even his performance isnt enough to make this worth my while. The bad: Antonio Banderas' character is pretty silly, but at least his performance has got some charm to it. BUT the other (unknown) Irish actors are plain bland and acting way below average," commented another fan.
