Reviews:
” …a Guy Ritchie knockoff that’s loaded with editing tricks and gonzo performances, meant to simulate a good time. Keeyes doesn’t have the money or ability to pull off such a wicked style, and The Clean Up Crew is derivative and unpleasant, clearly struggling to generate a wild ride of colliding personalities and underworld events.” 3/10 Blu-ray.com
“The Clean Up Crew is generally quite watchable and often even rather amusing. Keeyes keeps the pace brisk and screenwriter Matthew Rogers’ dialogue is pretty snappy. It is not a classic, but if you just want to stream a violent crime caper, it is definitely the sort of film that never makes viewers wait around for it to get going. Recommended when it hits ad-supported platforms…” J.B. Spins
“Somewhat surprisingly for a mid-budget movie like this, there is a fair amount of action in The Clean Up Crew. Some of it is shot with a satirical eye, like the riff on Matrix-style shootouts and another taking aim at split-screen scenes. Others, such as the final fight, are played relatively straight.” ★★★½ Voices from the Balcony
