Arnold Schwarzenegger (“Total Recall”, “Twins”) is back doing what he does best in “Eraser”. For this movie don’t bother putting your brain in gear for thought, just let it clicked into place as the action begins.

In “Eraser”, they try to deliver a smart plot about a witness relocation programme that is helping countless witnesses be safe in time for the trials where they will give their testimonies by faking their deaths and the people who do this are called ‘Erasers’. One Eraser, a U.S. marshal named John Kruger (Schwarzenegger) becomes suspicious of some of his co-workers after several odd events surrounding a case involving high-tech weapons that are about to be sold to terrorists around the globe.

Arnold Schwarzenegger does a good job as John Kruger. I can’t see anyone else being able to do this role as well as him because no one else can bust the bad guys with such violence and such goofiness like he can. Vanessa Williams (“Shaft”) stars as Kruger’s latest witness named Lee Cullen and she does an okay job. The bad guys and pretty much all the other characters aren’t too memorable but they’re not bad or anything. All-round I was relatively pleased with the characters in this movie.

“Eraser” doesn’t really succeed at giving us a smart plot but the action is so over the top and the film is so funny that you can’t help but enjoy. Don’t try to take it seriously and just appreciate the great action scenes, the great wit and the great fun it gives you. Although I enjoyed myself with “Eraser” it’s not one of the best Schwarzenegger movies (it’s a lot better than some of them though) as like I said it doesn’t really deliver the way it intends to with the plot and things like that and some of the effects look a little cheesy.
