Eraser

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

Description

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Eraser, an elite federal marshal who "erases" the pasts of jeopardized informers and relocates them into safe anonymity.

Action aplenty.......2007-05-13

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

Thrills & Spills.......2007-03-02

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!

Another great Arnold movie!.......2007-02-11

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

The best no-holds barred action since Commando.......2006-08-26

What can I say? Arnold has done it again with his latest film, "Eraser".

He plays Witness Protection Program employee John Kruger, in charge of "erasing" people's identities in order to protect them. This time his charge is Lee Cullen (Williams), a woman who knows too much about the dirty dealings at a weapons corporation.

There's not really much more you can say about the plot. And I don't think anyone who goes to see Schwarzennegar films really cares. There was a director who once said to Roger Ebert that in order for a movie to be great, it has to have at least three good scenes and no bad scenes. And in Ebert's review, he said, "This movie has four good scenes and no bad scenes." And I would have to agree with him on that point.

Despite the probably many impossibilities in this film, such as the cannon-guns used by the bad guys, this movie kept my attention throughout. The one-liners (Arnold's trademark) were fast and funny, the action was the best of any Schwarzennegar film in history, and Pastorelli was great as the Mafioso- witness who was helped by Schwarzennegar in the beginning of the film, providing even more comic relief. If I wasn't cheering, I was laughing. And that's what an action movie should be.

It is really 3 1/2 stars, but some people gave only 1 or 2..........2006-07-18

This movie was, and will be played on channels like TNT, Spike, TBS at least couple times a year. I end up watching it whenever I happen to flip channels and see it. So far, I would say I watched about 5 times.

It is by no means 5 stars, nothing profound. It does have the typical Arnold Humour/violence/special effects, which are entertaining and I liked the acting of James Caan. He is a solid actor as you all know from Godfather. That being said, I would never pay to watch this movie as you can see it many times on cable etc, but I would not have complained if I had paid money at the theater....

Eraserhead (David Lynch 1977).......2007-01-21

Bizzare, nightmarish, fascinating, weird, scary, funny, trippy.

one of the greatest visuals of all time! scarier than any horror movie!

best movie of all time.......2007-01-11

I will watch it the 7th time in 3 weeks tonight.

This version is defective.......2007-01-04

If you want this movie, purchase the 2000 version. This one is glitchy and everytime a character moves or walks, the film jumps a little bit. It almost looks like its part of the film and if you hadn't seen the film before, you wouldn't even notice. But I did. Get the 2000 version which has cooler special features and a funny menu selection - they loop the dead-cat scene over and over. I'm going to try and get my money back on this version. But Eraserhead is such a great visionary film. Bizarre and grotesque, yet visionary.

a artistic master piece.......2006-08-11

a dark post apocalyptic nightmarish master piece!!! if you like wiered artistic images and like night mare like fantices then you will love this film. a cult master piece. ever have a dream wen you fall asleep face first in your pillow? then you could realate to this film.

BIZARRE BEYOND BELIEF..........2006-05-31

... if nothing else, you've got to see it at least once just to experience it... my personal opinion is that you'll probably connect with ERASERHEAD (and with most Lynch productions) if you're the type who tends to walk on the wild side, intellectually speaking. Otherwise, you'll not likely find any redeeming value in it whatsoever unless you're a film student or possess slightly warped tastes.

Beautiful.......2007-07-08

I don't know how many words there are out there to explain how much I loved this movie. I adore Asian cinema, especially Korean dramas. This is a movie with real romance and real heartbreak. So many other movies out there try to mimic what this movie naturally has. Great chemistry, perfect deliveries, and sensational writing.

Find this movie if you can and watch it, you won't regret it.

WOW...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-04-15

what a beautiful love story. it could be listed among the best 10 greatest movie romances in the world! wonderful performance of the leading couple, beautiful characters development, wonderful directing, screenplay, everything is just....just fascinatingly beautiful. couldn't believe korean movies become so mature, profound and so romantically wonderful. i just wish all the real korean people could be as wonderful as people in this movie, not like what i've met, encountered and heard so far in america.
again, one of the most beautiful movies ever seen. a must watch or own movie if you still consider love forever and forever love existed.

Powerful! A must own movie!.......2006-11-17

Powerful! Everything about this move is just simply beautifully perfect... the story, scenery, actors... all beautiful! You'll find yourself laughing and cry with the characters... You know it a good movie when the emotions feel real!

A Movie to Remember.......2006-07-10

I just watched this beautiful, yet tragic movie and I was blown away. The story is rich and well written. Unlike a typical Korean drama, this movie shows what is love really about and how much you are willing to maintain to that love with someone special in your life. Girls be sure to have a tissue ready and guys be sure to rent or buy this movie to show how much you love that special somebody. You won't regret it!

A must see movie.......2006-06-10

This was a beautiful love story that I highly recommend. First you witness the meeting of the two main characters, then see how their love grows. Unfortunately, his love for her must endure her tragic condition. The story is beautifully done, realistically portraying life unlike typical K-dramas...no love triangles and no super rich families.
It is beautiful, tragic and romantic. But be sure to have tissues because it WILL make you cry.
