A movie that feels like practically every other action film with Arnie at the helm. There are some insane action moments involving a plane, a parachute, and some awful CGI croc that feel out of place but are a lot of fun. For whatever reason, there are also many references to the Terminator. There are many explosions. There are some quippy lines. There's a James Caan pounding in there somewhere. Basically, it's everything you'd expect from an Arnie film from the 1990s.

And yet, everything felt so lackluster. Most of the action on screen left me feeling numb, with no sense of urgency or excitement, despite the fact that you can see on screen that there is a big effort…

The last classical action movie of Arnold’s prime before he spent the rest of his pre-governorship career making deconstructions of his superhero persona. His character here is a stock do-gooder with no private life or interests beyond his job as a U.S. Marshal protecting people in witness protection. He “erases” people’s lives to hide them from the bad guys and while it’s never directly addressed in the film, it seems like he may have erased himself at some point in the past cause we know basically nothing about this “John Kruger.”

Given the movies Arnold made next — all about regretful anti-heroes who’ve failed or lost their beloved families somehow — that makes Eraser interesting in context. Stripped of that,…

In my opinion, "Eraser" is the last true Arnie action film before he went through his comedy phase and eventual retirement. Yes, I know he made films like "The 6th Day" and "Terminator 3," but this film still carries the spirit of an Arnie film. There are plenty of ridiculous over-the-top set pieces, corny one-liners, and a plot you could drive a truck through.

"Eraser" stars Arnie as a U.S Marshal, John Kruger, who's tasked with keeping a witness, Lee Cullen (Vanessa Williams), alive. He does this by "erasing" a person's whole identity. All ID, passports, and trinkets are burnt, and he usually fakes his clients' deaths, giving them a fresh start with no link to their former lives. Unfortunately,…

I doubt anyone who saw Eraser back in 96' would've known it was going to be Arnold Schwarzenegger's last ever box office hit as a leading man. Forget about box office, Eraser is probably the last good true Arnold action flick before it all went to shit. And in many ways, Eraser is the last of its kind.

Why? Because it's probably one of the last action movies of that before everything changed. Michael Bay's The Rock and Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible came the same year so the genre was already changing. Movies like The Eraser were going extinct. Super cheesy, high budget action films solely relying on that one star? Yep, Eraser was the last of that kind.

And…

You're luggage!

Ok so here we got:

- Arnie entering in the film with Ninja assassin mode;

- Arnie vs a Plane in a midair standoff;

- Arnie wasting a Gator at point blank;

- And Arnie going full on Terminator meets Commando in the climax wasting an entire battalion of goons with the high-tech electromagnetic rail guns that more look like laser blaster.

So yeah this is a pretty underrated Arnie masterpiece!

Well, at least one of his last few entertaining memorable actioners before entering in his ostracism phase, slowly burying his once iconic star power. Made around the time where that was coming in close when he was ought making the harmless Junior and Jingle All the Way…
