The new take on the Eraser is not in the same league as the original film.

This knock off has a made for streaming platform feel. Everything is "alright', its competently done but hardly an immersive experience, either.

One perhaps for a slow day or evening, just don't expect anything close to the Arnie original.

5/10.

Yeah, okay. This was the reboot you didn't see coming, nor didn't ask for to be made.

But I am getting ahead of myself here. Sure, I didn't know that there was a sequel to the 1996 classic Schwarzenegger movie "Eraser" in the making. So stumbling upon it by random luck here in 2022 seemed like my good fortune. So of course I had to sit down and watch it, especially since the original "Eraser" movie was quite enjoyable. Now, had I only known that this was a reboot, then I wouldn't have been so eager to get to see it.

Writer Michael D. Weiss and director John Pogue had a snowballs chance in Hell of making this 2022 action thriller "Eraser: Reborn" into a good movie. I don't enjoy reboots particularly much, so that was working against the movie. And the fact that writer Michael D. Weiss blatantly copied multiple scenes and dialogue scene by scene from the original 1996 movie was just a slap to the face of fans of the Schwarzenegger movie from 1996.

Sure, if you have never seen the 1996 action thriller "Eraser", then I am sure there is enjoyment to be found in "Eraser: Reborn". But if you have seen the 1996 movie, then you should really do yourself a favor and stay well clear of director John Pogue's 2022 reboot. It just simply is atrocious and a mockery of the original movie.

But let's be fair here, then "Eraser: Reborn" actually has a good amount of action, explosions and gunfights to it, and that somehow makes it bearable to sit through this ordeal.

The character gallery in "Eraser: Reborn" was just a watered down copy-paste job of the original 1996 movie, with some alterations done.

I didn't know they made this movie before I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it, and I have to say that the movie will fade into oblivion for me with the same amount of oblivion as it came into existence. This is not a particularly enjoyable movie for fans of the original 1996 movie.

My rating of "Eraser: Reborn" lands on a very generous four out of ten stars.

It is based on U. S. Marshal Mason Pollard who is specialized in engineering the fake deaths of witnesses that leaves no trace of their existence.

. Makes you think it is a true story but Eraser Reborn Bad acting and definitely a B movie. I now need to watch the Eraser with Arnold.to remind me of a good action movie from the 90's

WOW This one I don't really know if the previous comments are from people in the movie or stock in it.
