Leave your thoughts about Eraser.
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Anne BillsonThe stunts, even show-stopping ones such as our man throwing himself out of a plane without a parachute and landing on a car without sustaining injury, have an air of desperation about them. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAnd the guy is really good at his job: He knows how to combine impossibly macho action plus attractive self-amusement into a reliable rhythm of ooof! and wink-wink. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenEraser may lack the chameleon wizardry of the the "Terminator" duo, or the imperious mechanics of "True Lies", but the bang-for-the-buck ratio is high enough to appease even the thinnest wallet. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestOK, 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. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertEraser is more or less what you expect, two hours of mindless nonstop high-tech action, with preposterous situations, a body count in the dozens, and Arnold introducing a new trademark line of dialogue (it's supposed to be "Trust me," but I think "You're luggage" will win on points). |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyJames Caan is good as the heavy, but the movie degenerates into routine comic-book mayhem. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelEraser is totally meaningless summertime entertainment, but it means something, I suppose, that it has been done so well. |
| TimeRichard CorlissThe hero's feats are implausible even by action standards, but screenwriters Tony Puryear and Walon Green have concocted one of the summer's most spectacular action sequences. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumA few of the set pieces are fussy or overly extended, but the rest is tolerable bone-crunching diversion. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonYou're not watching anything original, you're just reexperiencing elements you've seen in a jillion other spectacles (including "Die Hard," "True Lies" and even "Mission: Impossible"), only with more heat, more crash, more burn. |
