It's a little better than the godawful script it was based on, but not by much.

Caan's character is great, Robert Pastorelli's ex-wiseguy is enlisted to help and provide a little stereotype comic relief and Arnold makes a mid-air exit from an airplane that makes for one groovy action sequence.

OK, this movie's plot isn't extremely clever or original, but what I care about is that it's fast and furious, and that director Chuck Russell knows how to craft a kick-ass action scene.

Even by action movie standards, this is a soulless recital of formula.

This is one of those movies where good guys don't miss, and bad guys can't shoot to save their lives.

Se há alguém procurando um filme de ação constante e história inexistente, este é o filme.

'Eraser' is not great moviemaking, but it is fun.

Arnold Schwarzenegger tries his hardest to look formidable, forbidding and stern in Eraser, but what he mostly looks is tired.

Top CriticWilliams isn't required to do much more than look beleaguered and beautiful, which she does admirably.

Is it just me, or is Arnold Schwarzenegger's accent getting worse? I think it is, as is his acting ability, as well as his choice of films to star in.

On the Schwarzenegger career curve, this is one step forward and two giant steps back.
01/01/00
The premise is moderately intriguing.

Top CriticEven for escapism, this is on the crazy side.
01/01/00
Top CriticExtremely predictable and derivative.

We've seen Schwarzenegger do all this before, and in films superior to this passable but workmanlike effort.
