Daisy Ridley, who broke out as Rey in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, shows she’s more than just a Force-wielder in the action-packed trailer for “Cleaner,” a new Sky Original action film. Directed by Martin Campbell, the acclaimed filmmaker behind “Goldeneye” and “Casino Royale,” the movie casts Ridley as Joey Locke, an ex-soldier turned window cleaner who finds herself caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
The trailer starts with a chilling address by Clive Owen’s character, an extremist targeting a lavish corporate gala. As the situation escalates, Joey, suspended high above the city on the skyscraper’s exterior, must use her combat skills to save the innocent lives trapped inside, including her younger brother. The teaser shows Ridley’s impressive physicality, hinting at thrilling action sequences and breathtaking stunts.
“Cleaner” follows a group of activists who hijack a corporate gala to expose corruption, only to have their cause twisted by an extremist intent on mass murder. Joey, caught in the crossfire, must navigate a deadly maze while grappling with her own past and the weight of responsibility.
The movie features a great cast of supporting actors, such as Taz Skylar, Flavia Watson, Rufus Jones, and Ruth Gemmell, who played Tracy Beaker’s mum.
“Cleaner” is coming to Sky Cinema in 2025 and promises to be a high-octane thrill ride that will leave viewers breathless.
