Fact check: The Movie Cleaner is like Diehard, if it was made by incompetent fuckwits that didn't give a toss about things like pacing, narrative tension, cohesive plot, and interesting characters.

1. Summary of the results

The analyses confirm that "Cleaner" is indeed heavily derivative of "Die Hard", with multiple sources noting direct plot similarities and copied elements ^{[1] [2]}. The film contains similar scenes including helicopter sequences, dead bodies, bombs, and hero-police interactions ^[1]. However, the degree of criticism varies significantly among reviewers.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement omits several important aspects:

• The film has a complex narrative involving moral ambiguity and themes of family protection ^[3]
• Some critics found it to be an entertaining, if unoriginal, action movie that effectively pays homage to the classic action genre ^[2]
• The movie appears to have some redeeming qualities, including:
• Strong character performances
• Intriguing villain motivations
• Enough unique elements to "stand on its own" ^[4]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement contains several problematic elements:

• The use of inflammatory language ("incompetent fuckwits") appears unnecessarily harsh given that multiple sources found the film at least somewhat entertaining ^{[4] [2]}
• The statement suggests a complete lack of narrative elements, while sources indicate there is a deliberate, if derivative, story structure ^[3]
• While the movie does have significant plot holes and unrealistic elements ^[5], calling it completely devoid of pacing, narrative tension, and cohesive plot contradicts several analyses that found it at least watchable ^[2]

The extreme negativity of the original statement appears to be more reflective of personal bias than objective criticism, though the core comparison to Die Hard is widely acknowledged as valid ^{[2] [5]}.
