So exciting that THE CLEAN UP CREW, which I co-composed the score for with Gerry Owens, and which was directed by Jon Keeyes, is now available on Amazon Prime.
And it got this cool write up The New York Times today:
“Alex (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and Meagan (Ekaterina Baker) aren’t hardened criminals — they’re a couple working on a crime-scene cleanup crew led by the levelheaded Siobhan (Melissa Leo) and supported by a hulking drug addict named Chuck (Swen Temmel). But when they stumble on a briefcase filled with money at one of their scenes, the team is split over what to do. While Siobhan wants to leave the blood money be, Alex and Meagan decide to take it and run.
The director Jon Keeyes’s “The Clean Up Crew” features artful shootouts — such as Chuck going Rambo on an army of goons — and cagey back-stabbing by Alex. But its real pleasure is Antonio Banderas as Gabriel, the head of a crime organization, who needs that briefcase to continue bribing cops. Banderas appears to be having the time of his life, quoting Machiavelli extensively as he maneuvers with a viciousness that exemplifies his talents.”
And it’s true… Antonio Banderas is incredible in this movie, and so funny. What an absolute blessing for me to be part of this!!
