The Eraser starring Arnold The Eraser DVD

The Eraser starring Arnold Swarzzennegger and James Caan is one of my favorite movies. Arnold plays John Kruger who is specializes in "erasing" people's identities, in this case Vanessa Williams plays a FBI whistleblower that is going to testify against a very important person and Arnold must protect her from assassination.
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 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.
I found the suspense pleasantly gripping, and if it wasn't the smartest film on the block, it sure was plenty of entertainment.

Recommended for Arnold fans and fans of action movies.

Suspence

An exciting movie of the working of our government to hide informants and the underworld's attempt to get to them. October 30, 2007

Action Packed and Well Worth Your Time!

Eraser brings to the screen the story of a US Marshal involved in the Federal witness protection program who is charged with the safety of a woman whose testimony could put some high ranking officials behind bars. Things get a bit complicated though, when the high-ups fight back...
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vanessa Williams (who is simply GORGEOUS!!!), Robert Pastorelli (whose character comes close to stealing the show), James Caan, James Coburn, Joe Viterelli, and the rest of the cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few thrills.
A bit more "exposure" from Vanessa Williams and the film would be a solid 5!
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the ACTION (!) and the music are all wonderful.
In conclusion, Eraser is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection if you are a Schwarzenegger fan. 4.5 Stars

Action aplenty

As Always Arnold Shines as a Hero, the premise is unusual, and the story most entertaining. May 13, 2007
