Amazon.co.uk Review
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

 Great Fun Film Bit Cheesy in Places August 7, 2007
Hurray for a thoroughly enjoyable movie, I forgot how much I enjoyed this film. Great story about a witness protection marshal played by Arnie and a corrupt Marshal played by James Caan. Vanessa Williams although the damsel in distress does pack a punch too.
There is so much action in this right from the word go and it blends aircraft punch ups, shoot em ups, alligator wrestling, explosions and just way over the top action perfectly.
The cast is great too with James Coburn and that guy from LA Confidential and the Generals Daughter.
The humor is spot on and just is a great old fashion fun film.
Good film but hackneyed DVD May 28, 2007
This is a brilliant action film marred by scissor happy censors who must have mistaken the DVD for an overlong dreadlock. In the same vein as Commando, Arnie stars in yet another fast paced thriller where he faces up to his ex mentor James Caan.
In all, another defeat for British censorship.
 A Ghost of its Former Self September 19, 2005
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Don't be fooled. I saw this and bought it, having fond memories of the action, explosions, big guns and cliches. The film itself is great, everything you'd expect from an Arnie blockbuster, but you don't get to see it all. What you're buying here is a heavily cut UK 15 certificate version of the film. I saw more of the action scenes last time it came onto the TV.
The running time for this version of the movie is 107 minutes. If you check on Amazon.com at the USA version, you'll find its 115 minutes.
Shouldn't there be a warning, something to say that, actually, what you're buying is only 93% of the film you thought you were buying?
 Why cut June 16, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have not seen the R1 version of this film, but I do not understand why the version released in England has to be cut as the previous viewer says this one is. I noticed that Commando, another great Arnie film, has been cut. The scene on the plane where Col. John Matrix (Arnie) breaks his minders neck is cut and yet is included when shown on tv.Ridiculous! Perhaps its because the studio wants to sell to kids. If thats the case then why not release 2 versions, a 15and an 18?

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think i enjoyed this film for all the wrongs reasons, i would give it 5 star rating for making me howl with laughter throughtout, the script was ingenious with phrases like "you have been erased"in which u were just waiting for throughout and "he just caught a train" when arnie traps his enemies on a train line and saves the day!no one else could play this character better than the king of action heros arnie!classic film check random plot check out those laser guns that can see through everything!best scene when they are fighting ontop of a freight box in the sky classic action film must see!
