THE MOVIE \u2014 3\u00bd\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>John “The Eraser” Kruger (ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER) is the top gun in the US Marshall Witness Protection scheme; he erases their past and deals with their future. His latest assignment is whistle-blower Dr. Lee Cullen (VANESSA WILLIAMS), who has evidence against a major arms corporation that’s selling weapons to terrorists with the collusion of rogue enemy agents within, but there is danger nearer home for Kruger, from within his own department.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Eraser<\/em><\/strong> is a film I\u2019ve seen a few times over the years. While certainly entertaining this is one of Arnold\u2019s lesser endeavors, to the point it felt like he was never intended for the role and some of his attributes was changed to suit him, most notably his one-liners that felt forced rather than humorous. Still, the action sequence during the finale was fun and for his part, James Caan made for an over-the-top 90s villain. Vanessa Williams was fine with a far too perfect character with no flaws and I always enjoyed seeing James Coburn show up even if it\u2019s a thankless part.<\/p>\n

Eraser<\/em><\/strong> was directed by Chuck Russell, the filmmaker behind A Nightmare on Elm Street 3<\/em>, The Blob <\/em>(1988), The Mask<\/em> and The Scorpion King<\/em> and he\u2019s the epitome of a serviceable director, nothing really stands out in any sort of style and someone who probably gets along with studios to deliver a project on time. Eraser<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t anything special but a fine time-waster.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Eraser<\/em><\/strong> marks its debut onto 4K Ultra HD presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and a 2160p high-definition transfer. This is a pretty good looking picture with sharp detail and colors fairly vibrant for the daylight scenes while black levels are stark without elements being lost.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

The movie comes equipped with a strong Dolby Atmos track that is an upgrade over the previous Blu-ray\u2019s Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track. Dialogue comes across with good clarity but where this really comes to life is during the action sequence at the end.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
