Jake Rodgers: "I'm the Black Rambo!" Gina: "...Blambo?" Ever seen a film entitled The Bourne Identity? If you have, then you'd be futilely massacring your precious time with Code Name: The Cleaner as it is essentially the same movie. If you haven't seen The Bourne Identity, watch it immediately so you won't ever feel the need to expose yourself to this rubbish! 2007 has been forced to bear a number of dreadful film releases with an inadequate number of masterpieces thus far. Code Name: The Cleaner is yet another unspeakably appalling comedy released at some stage during 2007. The film is primarily The Bourne Identity with a different cast. The plot is horrible, characters are all weak not to mention stereotypical, and performances are simply abysmal. Sure, casting Cedric the Enter...Read more

Ahem. Unfortunately... I've seen this. I think they tried to make it so stupid, it would be funny. But this was just so stupid.. it was almost unwatchable.

Cedric the Entertainer ein in Europa eher unbekannter schwarzer Comedystar versucht sich hier als ahnungsloser Agent und macht seine Sache gar nicht mal so schlecht. Die recht vorhersehbare Story dient als Vehikel für diverse Slapstick und Action Szenen. Als attraktiver Aufputz agieren die leicht bekleidete Nicolette Sheridan und die toughe Lucy Lui, beide müssen dafür ihre bekannten Serienrollen nur minimal abändern. Die Inszenierung ist flott und handwerklich gut umgesetzt. Fazit: Eine nette kleine Komödie, die kaum ein Massenpublikum finden wird.
