Leave your thoughts about Code Name: The Cleaner.
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy Klein...it's not merely that the script is a sloppy, by-the-numbers action farce; it's more the leaden hand of director Les Mayfield... |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteFor its first half-hour, Cedric is the whole show. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkIt's not often that a 90 minute film could lose twenty minutes and still end up with an identical result, but Code Name: The Cleaner does pull that off. If only someone had made [director Les] Mayfield aware of that somewhere along the line. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreCedric the Entertainer is never going to be Cedric the Leading Man. |
| NightsAndWeekends.comMark PfeifferThis dire comedy deserves to be dropped in a vat of solvent to remove its stink. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. Anderson[A] cheerfully dumb spy comedy filled with ridiculous stereotypes and plot holes as big as cartoon anvils. |
| Can MagazineFred TopelCedric's style of humor seems to be stating the obvious, but doing it really fast. He mumbles out loud and makes lame observations. |
| VarietyBrian LowryThis is an especially limp star vehicle that delivers a few widely spaced moments of frivolity before what should be a quick mop-up trip to the DVD aisles. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubAlthough the finished product isn't great, it's more akin to a bad Steve Martin movie from the 1980s than bad Pauly Shore from the 1990s. We mean that as a compliment (sort of). |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThe movie finally comes to life when Liu turns up. |
