Eraser DVD Movie

Eraser DVD Movie John Kruger (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a U.S. Marshal who "erases" the lives and identities of people entering the Witness Protection Program. In his latest "do-or-die assignment," Kruger must protect executive Lee Cullen (Vanessa Williams) who's uncovered a high-powered political plot (led by baddie James Caan) to put a new superweapon in the hands of an American enemy. In typical Schwarzenegger-flick fashion, Kruger's counterassault includes a plunge from an airplane sans parachute, battling ravenous alligators, outfoxing an ultra hi-tech security installation, and pretty much wiping out all of Caan's minions with his mega-weapons. There's little else to the plot. The problem with 'Eraser' is that its characters are utterly generic. The Kruger character lacks any real emotional dimension, neither matching such past Schwarzenegger rugged men-on-the-run as Douglas Quaid from 'Total Recall' or Harry Tasker in 'True Lies' nor holding his own as the legitimate lead of an action movie. Williams' Cullen is attractive and likable, but her character is also forgettable, failing to generate any real chemistry with Schwarzenegger or proving at all instrumental in furthering the plot. And Caan seems to be cashing a paycheck as the duplicitous U.S. Marshal Robert Deguerin, with the actor using every one of his stock, hammy mannerisms to sell what amounts to a third-rate James Bond villain.
