In the gritty underworld of modern-day Dublin, The Clean Up Crew (2024) spins a darkly stylish tale of crime, cover-ups, and unlikely redemption. When two down-on-their-luck house cleaners, Rhea and Denise, show up for what appears to be a routine job at an upscale home in the suburbs, they stumble upon something horrifying—a freshly murdered body sprawled in the living room, a trail of blood leading to signs of a deadly shootout. But before they can call the police, a mysterious man named Quinn shows up, calm as death, with a suitcase full of cash and a simple offer: clean the scene, no questions asked. From that moment on, the women are plunged into a violent world they never expected to enter.
Rhea, sharp-witted and fiercely protective of her daughter, sees the offer as a once-in-a-lifetime escape from debt and desperation. Denise, more cautious but loyal to a fault, reluctantly follows her friend deeper into the criminal web. As they continue accepting jobs from Quinn—each one more dangerous and gruesome than the last—they begin to uncover a twisted hierarchy of crime bosses, corrupt officials, and merciless enforcers operating in the shadows of polite society. Every mess they clean tells a story, and soon, those stories start to connect—leading back to a single name: Malachy Doyle, a ruthless kingpin whose reach extends into every corner of the city.
With bleach, gloves, and determination as their weapons, Rhea and Denise navigate back-alley hits, crime-scene setups, and cold-blooded warnings. But they aren’t just scrubbing blood—they’re uncovering secrets. When Rhea learns that one of the murders they "cleaned" was a setup meant to eliminate a whistleblower tied to Doyle’s human trafficking ring, everything changes. Their mission becomes personal, and the cleaners decide to do the unthinkable: take the fight back to the people who used them. Armed with street smarts and insider knowledge of the syndicate’s darkest secrets, they begin dismantling the empire—one blood-soaked rug at a time.
In the explosive final act, Rhea and Denise infiltrate a high-profile gala meant to mask a dirty weapons deal. Disguised in elegance and armed with hidden tech from a rogue hacker ally, they expose Doyle’s operation in front of the city’s elite. Chaos erupts. Quinn turns on his boss, buying them just enough time to escape—but not without cost. Denise takes a bullet shielding Rhea, and Doyle is killed in the mayhem. The film ends with Rhea opening a legitimate crime-scene cleanup company, this time on her terms—with Denise recovering beside her and a newfound reputation as the "cleaners who cleaned out the mob." The Clean Up Crew (2024) is a gritty, pulse-pounding crime thriller with a dark comedic edge—a tale of survival, sisterhood, and the messes that power tries to bury, but justice dares to uncover.
