 Tagline: In a dirty world , he's our only hope.
"Code Name: The Cleaner" centers on an amnesiac janitor who is fooled into believing he's an undercover agent on the trail of an international arms ring involving the CIA and FBI. Liu will play an actual agent who falls for the janitor, while Hurley adds intrigue as a femme fatale who uses the hapless worker for her Machiavellian devices.
Cedric the Entertainer stars as Jake, a seemingly regular guy who wakes up in a hotel room with a bump on his head next to a dead body and a briefcase containing $250,000 in cash. As if that wasn't enough of a predicament, Jake can't remember how he got there or who he is. The beautiful and mysterious Diane (Nicollette Sheridan) shows up on the scene and claims to be Jake's wife, taking him to a
magnificent mansion that she says belongs to Jake.
When Jake discovers that Diane is trying to drug him for information, he escapes and seeks refuge in a local diner, only to run in to Gina (Lucy Liu), a waitress who claims to be his girlfriend. She tells him that in reality he's a maintenance worker for a video game manufacturer, but Jake becomes convinced he is really an undercover agent for the CIA - his code name: "The Cleaner" - and sets out to prove it.
Soon Jake and Gina are being followed by FBI agents, as well as Riley (Will Patton), an employee of the video game company who tells Jake that he has hidden away a high-tech device that could incriminate Hauck (Mark Dacascos), the CEO of the company who is the key player in a huge arms deal about to go down. And throughout all of this, Jake is experiencing flashbacks of being in a war zone and assembling a weapon. It's up to Jake to not only figure out who he really is, but also try to uncover the true identities of those surrounding him.
Cedric the Entertainer (Barbershop, Johnson Family Vacation, Be Cool) plays Jake, the amnesiac who thinks he's a CIA agent, code name, "The Cleaner." Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill) plays Jake's waitress girlfriend who helps him piece together his life and Nicollette Sheridan ("Desperate Housewives") is a blond seductress who may or may not be Jake's wife. The film also co-stars Mark Dacascos and Will Patton.
