The best no-holds barred action since Commando

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...

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....

Arnie's last great action movie

Eraser is Arnie's last wholly enjoyable actioner before the rot set in. Overshadowed at the time by The Rock, it's a much better proposition by far. Co-written by Wild Bunch scribe Walon Green and co-starring Peckinpah regular James Coburn, it's full of subtle and not so subtle Sam Peckinpah references in general and The Killer Elite in particular - not only does that film's star, James Caan, play the Robert Duvall role this time round, but after the film's dockyard bust-up he even ends the film walking with a cane again. Fortunately, unlike Peckinpah's laziest film, the action scenes here are handled with a gusto and energy by director Chuck Russell that both embraces and excuses their absurdity, whether it be Arnie playing chicken with a jet while hanging from a parachute or taking on a reptile house full of killers and escaped alligators ("You're luggage!"). And if you like Alan Silvestri's score, you can hear it again in Judge Dredd!

The DVD doesn't have much going for it - just a trailer and widescreen or fullscreen versions of the film - but it's not the kind of film that needs much in the way of extras anyway.
