The premise is moderately intriguing.

Top CriticIt's a movie constructed around three or four self-consciously 'cool' episodes, and passably entertaining as such, but there's also an awful lot of uncool contrivance, coincidence and contempt for the audience.

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.

James Caan is good as the heavy, but the movie degenerates into routine comic-book mayhem.
01/23/06
A film that didn't need much effort to be erased from viewers' memories.

On the Schwarzenegger career curve, this is one step forward and two giant steps back.

Top CriticCaan'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.
11/07/02
Even for escapism, this is on the crazy side.
01/01/00
Top CriticExtremely predictable and derivative.
01/01/00
Even by action movie standards, this is a soulless recital of formula.
08/30/02
We've seen Schwarzenegger do all this before, and in films superior to this passable but workmanlike effort.
01/01/00
Schwarzenegger delivers big action, big stunts and high-tech suspense, but Eraser ultimately fails to thrill.
03/18/05
Arnold Schwarzenegger tries his hardest to look formidable, forbidding and stern in Eraser, but what he mostly looks is tired.
