. mild spoiler . with the exception of the terminator and total recall i don ` t think arnie action or adventure movie be up to much . they ` re good than his comedy for sure but that hardly say much . the problem i have with his all action blockbuster be that they ` re overblown and lack in any sort of morality morality . i mention in my review of terminator 2 the scene where good guy terminator blow the kneecap off the swat team . be we to think that because the hero maim people do their job instead of kill them we will admire him in someway . this be the problem with eraser and when james cann character be reveal a a traitor within the u marshal department arnie character john kruger go on the run with a witness he protect but in several late sequence kruger kill a fairly large amount of marshal work with the villain . be we take it they be all traitor too . surely many of them be honest men who be try to stop kruger because the bad guy tell them kruger be the traitor . it a rather uneasy think that kruger kill several people who be try to genuinely up hold the law despite cost one hundred million dollar the special effect aren ` t all that impressive . look at the scene where kruger let go of the jet wing and scramble to put on a parachute . it obvious a the action intercuts that it a stuntman who do the free fall sequence while arnie be in a studio in front of a blue screen . eraser be also a film that have unnecessary cgi feature killer alligator and not only unnecessary cgi but unconvincing cgi too . there also a few plot hole like in the opening scene involve a couple of witness protection people that the mob have catch up with . kruger open a car trunk and pull out a couple of body and start a fire thereby throw the mob of the scent . kruger be next see rearrange the dental record via computer of the couple he save . it would be logical to do this but would all the couple dental record be keep on computer . most importantly of all be we to believe the u marshal department keep a freezer full of body for such event . so they ` re you go and a typical arnie thriller long on unlikely set piece and short on intelligence and it interest to note that eraser didn ` t make much of a profit at the box office a the production cost almost outweigh a potential audience figure . after eraser arnie didn ` t do much more business at the box office save for terminator 3 represent rise of the machine which be an event movie and it ` ll be interest to see if he ` ll be remember a a politician rather than a movie star .
