We had the distinct privilege of sitting down with the legendary director Martin Campbell for an exclusive, in-depth conversation about his remarkable career.

And, of course, we’re thrilled to discuss his latest film, the taut thriller “Cleaner,” which promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. This film boasts an incredible cast, featuring performances from the likes of…Daisy Ridley, Taz Skylar and Clive Owen.In our interview, we delve into:
