Review of Eraser

Eraser (1996)
2/10
Erased from memory...
4 September 2006
Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a witness protection agent who protects Vanessa Williams from James Caan and the usual goons who are looking to do her in due to what she has uncovered on the computer and such. (The movie is very vague on plot threads) You would think that any Schwarzenegger movie that featured him in his one man army form would be great and you would be wrong. Eraser is more Last Action Hero than Commando and it becomes quite obvious that we are watching a movie that thinks it is far more intelligent and interesting than it ever is. The movie has some action but it is generally so far outside logic and common sense (Arnold VS Gators?) that it just becomes apparent that we are watching an exercise in technology. This would have been all watchable had the movie contained some suspense but the movie doesn't and in the end we watch a one sided one man army grunt his way through a bunch of stunt-men extras. All of it as dull as a butter knife.
