Big-budget action filmmaking at its dullest.
January 26, 2006
It'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.

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

Welcome back, big guy.

The bang-for-the-buck ratio is high enough to appease even the thinnest wallet.

As entertaining and solid as its leading man.

Schwarzenegger delivers big action, big stunts and high-tech suspense, but Eraser ultimately fails to thrill.
August 24, 2008
The advanced weaponry and nifty scopes notwithstanding, most of the gunplay is pretty standard-issue, with most of the victims being anonymous targets present just to be picked off.

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