Eraser is sadly not in the same league as The Terminator films or True Lies, but it's still good Arnie style action.
John Kruger (Arnie) erases people who are entering the witness protection program, but now he has to protect Vanessa Williams who plays an executive that has uncovered a deal to place a new super-weapon in the wrong hands.
Eraser has some great special effects, some cool weapons and of course plenty of action. The plot is very basic and it does try to be more involved than it inevitably is, but all in all this is still a fun film and will certainly please the Arnie fan in all of us.
6/10
