Code Name: The Cleaner

Jake Rodgers (Cedric the Entertainer) wakes up in a hotel room next to a dead FBI agent. He has no memory of who he is or how he got there. He quickly escapes the hotel room and meets up with Diane (Nicollette Sheridan) in the lobby. Diane tells Jake that they are married and she is taking him home. They arrive a mansion and Jake gets comfortable with his new life. We discover that Diane isn't who she says is.

Jake escapes back to the hotel to figure out who he is. He gets an envelope at the reception office which has a D.A.R.T card in it. Jake finds the D.A.R.T. building and begins to figure out who he is at the diner across the street. Gina (Lucy Liu) the waitress at the diner tells him that he is a janitor that works in the D.A.R.T. building. She helps him figure out who he is.

The D.A.R.T. company is a video game company that stopped making video games and started making computer chips for world domination. Eric Hauck (Mark Dacascos..that guy looks like the Iron Chef host but is not) is the head of the company and Diane's husband and he is out to get Jake & Gina because they have information that could lead to the company's downfall.

This movie is not Cedric's best effort. It was all over the place and sort of random. The movie was not funny at all. It was a least short so it killed an evening. I give this movie a 3 out of 10.
