Summary: Action From Start To Finish!
Review: This was definitely an action packed film. Our hero Arnold plays the role of the good guy. Arnold is the "eraser" who is employed by the Federal Witness Protection Program. He helps people dissapear after they testify for the government in criminal cases. Thanks to Arnold they can start new lives. The villain is played by James Caan who is a cop gone bad. Throughout the film the forces of Caan are trying to kill Arnold and a female witness that he is protecting. Arnold survives every attempt.The movie is action packed with some dazzling escapes by Arnold and his witness. They come close to being killed several times. The ending is especially good. This is without question a very good movie. Watch it and enjoy.

Summary: Mission: Improbable
Review: If you like Arnold, you'll like this movie. If not, not. It's that simple.

This nonstop action-thriller follows the misadventures of John Kruger (Schwarzenegger), an 'eraser' with a secret witness-protection program who gets rid of all traces of a witness's previous identity. He reports to James Caan and he's assigned to protect Vanessa Williams as she rats out a megacorporation doing a dirty arms deal.

That's all you need to know, and it's very nearly all there is. There's some high-tech gadgetry, some not-altogether-persuasive CGI stuff, some humor, and a whole lot of hairbreadth escapes; there's also Robert Pastorelli in a terrific supporting role, and a brief appearance by a surprisingly menacing James Cromwell. But the plot in this one _is_ the action.

Perhaps the single most unconvincing portion is Caan duking it out with Schwarzenegger; in real life, Arnold would most likely have Jimmy for lunch. But Caan is terrific all the same (and if you like him, be sure to see _Rollerball_).

The whole thing is well produced and most gratifying to watch. If you like a good Arnold action-thriller, you may like this one better than _True Lies_.

Summary: Good solid entertainment from Arnold
Review: I can't imagine why this film got so many bad reviews in the media. Maybe it was because it came on the heels of "Last Action Hero" and the critics were still annoyed. Whatever the reason, pay no attention to those people; if you love Ahhhhnold (and I sure do) you will be sure to like "Eraser."

The plot is relatively simple, in fact, you will be likely to pick up on the "secret" early on in the film. But the action is non-stop, there are no gratuitous car-chases (which cause me to knock off more stars than a black hole) and there aren't even any stupid helicopter tricks ( It's been DONE. and done and done...)

There are a lot of explosions, especially of vehicles blowing sky-high but hey, we have to give the special effects guys something to do, and the secret weapon's effect is also pretty cool. Vanessa Williams underplays her role as FBI whistleblower, and James Caan is just superb as the heavy. The surprise fun came from the Wise Guys, who pay some debts in the plot. They were amusing and added a bit of fun to the action. The only dull spot was the Russian baddie, who was unconvinicingly Russian (despite the gratuitous "dasvidanya"--maybe thrown in by the director who realized this guy was about as Russian as Russian dressing. )

I found the suspense pleasantly gripping, and if it wasn't the smartest film on the block, it sure was plenty of entertainment.

Summary: Arnold is just a super hero
Review: I just resent the other reviews that have one star. The movie is not bad at all. It is all action and suspense that makes it one of Arnold's best films. That parachute jump from an airborne jet is a thrill of a ride. But the struggle with an alligator is a fake scene but incredible visual effects, though. And Vanessa Williams? I'm glad she did not sing in the movie coz she can act. The theme song which was sung by her at the end credits is great. Playing this movie in your DVD player is just the best way to enjoy this movie because of the great sound quality. 5 stars for the Eraser.

Summary: Rated "AAA"
Review: ... for "Arnie's Action/Adventure." There's really not a lot to say after that. He's the good cop among bad cops. He's out to save the leading lady and, incidentally, the free world.

Lots of chases, lots of gunfights, lots of action, and the bad guys get their just desserts - just what I signed up for. Vanessa Williams is actually a pretty decent actress, but so good-looking that I had trouble paying attention. A few other lesser characters do their jobs well, and even the corrupt union boss gets to be a good guy.

I'll grant a movie three impossible things to get going, but then it should play by its own rules. This one goes slightly over budget. The "EM gun", the mysterious plot device, launches a metal slug "close to the speed of light" (erk). The slug's impact on the human target picks him up bodily and throws him a dozen meters. For some reason, the slug doesn't just pass through the victim like a BB through butter. Also, its recoil doesn't throw the guy holding the launcher backwards, as I'd expect from an equal and opposite reaction. Well, I learned as much physics from Roadrunner as from Isacc Newton, so I'll let it go.

It's an Arnie movie. It's a pretty good Arnie movie. Still, it just an Arnie movie.

Summary: GETS THE LEAD OUT
Review: ERASER, directed with frenetic passion by Charles Russell, is an exemplary Arnold movie. The big governor will never win any Oscars, but he always gives us what we expect: high octane action and great supporting characters. The scene in which Arnie jumps from the airplane is one heck of a suspenseful sequence. Likewise, the chase in the zoo and the climax are just what you expect---action movies dont' get a whole lot better than this.
Along with Arnie, we get James Caan as the weasle traitor, doing a fine, fine job; the lovely Vanessa Williams a likeable heroine we all root for; James Coburn as Arnie's boss with a stiff upper lip and great silver hair; the always dependable Robert Pastorelli, who steals every scene he's in--the ER sequence with Camryn Manheim is hilarious; in their short screen time, both James Cromwell as Williams' traitorous boss and Tony Longo as Little Mike are superb. The action never lets up; there's some great surprises and even if the CGI crocks don't look totally real, their presence is highly effective.
YOU HAVE BEEN ERASED may be Arnie's companion piece to I'LL BE BACK. Go gov go!!!

Summary: Solid Action Flick
Review: This isn't Arnold's best by far but it isn't a bad movie either. I think its pretty solid entertainment as action movies go. James Caan and Vanessa Williams give good performances and there are some great action scenes. Some of the cgi effects though (i.e. crocodiles) don't hold up well at all.
