Amazon.co.uk Review
If you're going to submit yourself to a dazzling example of mainstream action, this thriller is as good a choice as any. Eraser is a live-action cartoon, the kind of movie in which Arnold Schwarzenegger can survive nail bombs, hails of bullets, an attack by voracious alligators ("You're luggage," he says, after killing one of the beasts), and still emerge from the mayhem relatively intact. Arnold plays an "eraser" from the Federal Witness Protection Program, so named because he can virtually erase the existence of anyone he's been assigned to protect. His latest beneficiary is an FBI employee (Vanessa Williams) who stumbled across a secret government group involved in the sale and export of an advanced weapon capable of shooting rounds at nearly the speed of light. Fantastic action sequences are handled with flair by director Charles Russell (The Mask), so it's easy to forgive the fact that this movie is almost completely ridiculous. --Jeff Shannon

I have not seen the R1 version of this film, but I do not understand why the version released in England has to be cut as the previous viewer says this one is. I noticed that Commando, another great Arnie film, has been cut. The scene on the plane where Col. John Matrix (Arnie) breaks his minders neck is cut and yet is included when shown on tv.Ridiculous! Perhaps its because the studio wants to sell to kids. If thats the case then why not release 2 versions, a 15and an 18?

This is a great movie but the UK version has just under FOUR minutes cut from it. This is frankly obscene and any Arnie fan should forgo the R2 version and shop in the US. The US version is violent to the brink of sadism, yet the UK release barely deserves its 15 certificate.

Don't be fooled. I saw this and bought it, having fond memories of the action, explosions, big guns and cliches. The film itself is great, everything you'd expect from an Arnie blockbuster, but you don't get to see it all. What you're buying here is a heavily cut UK 15 certificate version of the film. I saw more of the action scenes last time it came onto the TV.
The running time for this version of the movie is 107 minutes. If you check on Amazon.com at the USA version, you'll find its 115 minutes.
Shouldn't there be a warning, something to say that, actually, what you're buying is only 93% of the film you thought you were buying?

Those things on the end of pencils
The 2-year gap between True Lies and Eraser forced some action fans into thinking that Big Arn had retired. He had delivered at least one action movie per year since Terminator. Read more

Not as good your average Schwarzenegger film
Good for light hearted fun. Not a must have, there are far better Arnie films out there.
