Eraser [Blu-ray]

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

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

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

I found "Eraser" in a local budget bin & remembered it fondly. As John Kruger, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the type of hero we like to watch. Always the good guy, he's not afraid of bashing a few heads, shooting the bad guys or jumping out of a plane without his parachute. Vanessa Williams, who's now the nemesis on the "Ugly Betty" TV series, does a good job as computer analyst Lee Cullen trying to do the right thing. James Caan who got panned for his performance as Agent Robert Deguerin seems like he could be a good guy for the first few scenes. The late James Cockburn as the agency head Beller flies above in planes and seems to be on the side of the good guys. Roma Mafia does a nice cameo as the reporter that Lee phones. Then of course we hear how the reporter was killed. If you look closely, you can see Camryn Manheim (formerly from TV's "The Practice" & now on "Ghost Whisperer") as a nurse. Charles Russell who had directed Jim Carey in "The Mask" does a good job of keeping the pacing popping. We're never far from the next explosion. Arnold's wrestling match with a crocodile may be the highlight of the film. This is a high-energy action film that puts your brain in neutral and pleasures you with thrills & spills. It plays well 10 years after its initial release. Enjoy!

A must have for Schwarzenegger buffs, full of action a little comedy and great supporting cast. Vanessa Williams is an added bonus.
