Cleaner (2007)

From NetFlix:

After years as a detective, Tom Carver (Samuel L. Jackson) runs a business specializing in cleaning up crime scenes. But when he realizes his latest gig at a ritzy suburban house might have been a cover-up for a homicide, he must clean up the injustice. Our hygienic hero gets far more than he bargained for in director Renny Harlin’s twisty crime thriller, co-starring Ed Harris as Carver’s old partner and Eva Mendes as a grieving wife.

There’s nothing wrong with this fairly mediocre police who-done-it. It would have made a nice one-hour TV show. Samuel Jackson and Ed Harris make a good pair. Keke Palmer as Jackson’s daughter does a fine job. Amazing how often Luis Guzmán shows up in films (and I always assume he is the bad guy). See how long it takes before you predict the plot twist.
