Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Before things got serious after 2001, the 90s produced tons of fun action movies that had you laughing along with the good guys as they served up gun-blazing justice to bad guys. This was one of those movies where Arnold was already famous and he got to really have fun with his character. If you're in the mood for some decent action thrills, this one is worth watching. One of my favorites of that 90s era!

A super-slick slice of action, starring the reliable Arnie. This fast-paced flick has a lot bigger budget than Arnie's '80s offerings but it's not quite as enjoyable, despite an eye-popping array of visual effects and non-stop action sequences. There's a clinical detachment to this film, mainly due to the 'seen it all before' feel, as nothing really proves memorable or fresh.However there are lots of reasons to watch. Arnie may look a little old these days but he's still as tough as ever, even more so than before as he has his hands and legs impaled by flying shrapnel (great scenes) and rips them out. Lots of baddies are killed and shot by Schwarzenegger, and it's great to see him return to a solid action role after the rather nauseating comedies like JUNIOR and JINGLE ALL THE WAY. Vanessa Williams is the female lead and remains competent, but being female she isn't really given much to do. James Caan enjoys himself in an over-the-top role as a sneering villain, much like Michael Caine in ON DEADLY GROUND. He makes a good adversary.The special effects are all outstanding in this film, the super guns being most memorable as they leave plasma rings in the air after a bullet (an effect used more extensively in THE MATRIX). There are also a number of outrageous stunts and action sequences, set pieces including Arnie jumping out of a plane to get his parachute and a fight in a zoo, where crocodiles eat a number of bad guys in a hilarious moment: just a shame about the extremely dodgy nature of the CGI effects. The BBFC outrageously cut close to four minutes of the violence on this film's UK release, and it's definitely worth tracking down the uncut version. The violence in this is pleasingly hard-hitting and old school, as Schwarzenegger doesn't shy away from taking out the bad guys – and some good guys too, if need be.

Eraser was Arnold Schwarzenegger's last decent movie before his string of box office flops including Batman and Robin (1997), End of Days (1999), The Sixth Day (2000), and Collateral Damage (2002). Despite several flaws here and there as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger at his corny best dispensing his vintage one liners as well as the bad guys, Eraser is still an entertaining action movie.Arnold Schwarzenegger is U.S. Marshall John Kruger, also known as the Eraser. John Kruger is responsible for erasing the lives of witnesses that are a part of the Witness Protection Program by faking their deaths and giving them new identities. He is assigned to protect Lee Cullen (Vanessa Williams) after she agrees to retrieve information from Cyrez Corporation, who is also responsible for shady illegal arms deals, including the sale of an electromagnetic pulse rifle also known as the rail gun. John Kruger must keep Lee Cullen safe as well as uncovering a further conspiracy that involves high ranking members of the government, as well as his boss and mentor fellow U.S. Marshall Robert DeGuerin (James Cann).Also featured in the cast is James Coburn as WitSec Chief Beller who turns out to be Kruger's only ally, James Cromwell as the crooked Cyrez boss William Donahue, and Robert Pastorelli as a fellow witness Kruger erases Johnny Casteleone.Director Charles Russell (The Blob, The Mask) was a surprise choice as the director given that he had just directed the smash hit comedy The Mask (1994) with Jim Carrey. Charles Russell keeps the movie enjoyable with comic book action.Eraser used to be one of my favourite movies when I was 13 years old, however as time has gone on Eraser is not as a huge movie as it used to be. Unfortunately there are plot holes aplenty and Arnold Schwarzenegger's corny humour seems forced, but is certainly an enjoyable action movie that can pass the time.7/10.

This is a very good movie if you know anything about the corruption that exists in the Military Industrial Complex__the companies that the fake government gives blank checks to in order to receive advanced weapon systems to kill camel jockeys! Did anybody associate the scene with James Caan and AS and the 727 and the 911 attack on the WTCs by Boeing jets? Why didn't anybody try and shoot the jets down? Too bad Arnold wasn't flying around lower Manhattan in a Cessna or Lear Jet on September 11. I'm sure Arnold would have crashed his jet into the big Boeings to stop the attack. Oh, that is the Hollywood version. Anyway, Erasure is not factual because the MIC can DOA anybody, anywhere, for any reason, and no reason at all and this is why the DOD should be destroyed or reduced in size.
