This 2007 light thriller is based on a promising original idea but it never reaches any great heights and was overlooked at the time. Nevertheless it’s a classy production that’s worth a look. Samuel L. Jackson, playing against type as an ordinary Joe, runs a company that cleans up the bodily mess left behind when someone dies. Then one day he has to clean a messy murder scene at the house of a missing politician… Given a good plot, director Renny Harlin can usually be relied upon to get the most out of it, and he does so here. It’s a thriller with virtually no action and a disappointing ending, but it bowls along interestingly enough for its 86-minute run time.
