Goofs

Tom Cutler and Ann Norcut meet with Arlo Grange (the police coroner?) for Ann to identify her husband's body. When Vargas shows up, Tom uses the ruse that he just happened to be there and was going to go to lunch with Arlo as soon as Arlo was free. According to the clock on the wall, it was 5:30; whether a.m. or p.m., it was nowhere near time for lunch. See more »

Finally a good movie from Renny Harlin
24 August 2008 | by (Reykjavik, Iceland) – See all my reviews

I had very low expectations for this movie. Renny Harlin hasn't made a decent movie in many years so I expected the usual crap, but i was very surprised. It had good plot, very nice acting and was well made. Samuel L. Jackson plays a retired police officer who has a "Cleaning company". He cleans up murder scenes and other scenes of death. One day he does a job in a mansion and gets trapped in a web of deceit.

The Movie unfolds in a low key, unusual for Renny, which usually has lot of noise and action in his movies :) It has lot of blood though(not surprising given the title...) So basically this movie is a good way to spent hour and half. Hopefully Renny boy is out of the slums....
