Product Description
ERASER (DVD/P&S/WS 2.35/TRAILER)-NLA
Amazon.com
If you're going to submit yourself to a dazzling example of mainstream action, this thriller is as good a choice as any. Eraser is a live-action cartoon, the kind of movie in which Arnold Schwarzenegger can survive nail bombs, hails of bullets, an attack by voracious alligators ("You're luggage," he says, after killing one of the beasts), and still emerge from the mayhem relatively intact. Arnold plays an "eraser" from the Federal Witness Protection Program, so named because he can virtually erase the existence of anyone he's been assigned to protect. His latest beneficiary is an FBI employee (Vanessa Williams) who stumbled across a secret government group involved in the sale and export of an advanced weapon capable of shooting rounds at nearly the speed of light. Fantastic action sequences are handled with flair by director Charles Russell (The Mask), so it's easy to forgive the fact that this movie is almost completely ridiculous. --Jeff Shannon

Eraser blu-ray review. February 27, 2010
Samuel Bond (limerick, limerick Ireland)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This version of Eraser is uncut,at last (both my dvd and vhs copies are cut!).I saw this film in the cinema back in '96 i think.
The picture quality i think is quite good.The special effects hold up well,especially the guns, even Arnold's airplane exit looks good,the crodiles look well too,except when Arnold shoots one in the head,but still a lot better than some effects today.There are probably a few places where there is some fuzz but not that you'd notice unless you went out of your way.
The sound is good,great bass and even dialogue.No extra's just like my dvd copy!
The film itself is good,a couple of parts between Arnold and James Caan were a bit over done,dialogue wise.The actings fine,the late Robert Pastorelli is quite good in his role(he was great in Murphy Brown).
Arnold is solid(no pun)in his role as is Caan.
Oh yeah this is a region 1 blu-ray,you can't buy it over here,it's region free too. Overall worth the cash,which wasn't much anyway.

M. Webster (St. Louis, MO USA)
Ordered Eraser on DVD 10/17 and received on October 24 (fast delivery). This is a very action packed movie from beginning to end with great casting; very good story line. We watched this twice on TV, but it is not shown very much, so we ordered a copy. Thanks!

Witness Wipe-Out in this Fun Action, Adventure! June 27, 2009
Scotman (Sausalito, CA)
Eraser
Arnold works for the witness protection program. Part-time assassin and he's all heart. If a witness screws up and get themselves in a jam, Arnie "eliminates" the troublemakers who were trying to put away his witnesses and "erases" the witness with a new identity and location.
The plot starts rolling when Arnie's boss tells him of a witness who is a whistleblower for the military defense company she works for. She gets wired by the FBI and at this point you don't know who to trust. Vanessa Williams plays the witness, Ms. Cullen, who gets herself involved in a government cover-up. Unfortunately involved in the cover-up also includes the Undersecretary of Defense of the USA, and Arnold's boss, who is killing his own witnesses as a cover-up to get Arnold to reveal the whereabouts of Ms. Cullen.
Interesting if convoluted plot as you sit through two hours of intrigue, unintentional comedy, interspersed with murder, lies and traitors.
Arnold plays a tough, no-nonsense kinda guy, no one gets in his way, working through various life-threatening situations. Vanessa's acting is a bit overdone; the former Miss America's try at stardom may be on the decline with this film.
Mindless, non-stop action, impossible physical feats, and despite being shot, stabbed and thrown out of an airplane, Arnold wins at the end. Whew!
Rated R for the mature boys in your town.
Recommended for the spy thriller it is, but a James Bond it's not.
