Reception

Noah Berlatsky of Chicago Reader gave the film a positive review and wrote: "Keeyes's genius is taking Ritchie's hip camera cuts, profane hip dialogue, and hip split screen shenanigans and treating them all as if they aren't hip at all, but are instead camp goofs." Hope Madden wrote in her negative review: "The Clean Up Crew is a comedy that’s not funny, a thriller with no thrills, and a flat action flick sutured together into a dizzyingly incoherent paycheck for a few actors who deserve better." Brian Orndorf concurred with Madden's criticism in his review for Blu-ray.com: "“The Clean Up Crew” is derivative and unpleasant, clearly struggling to generate a wild ride of colliding personalities and underworld events."
