Eraser: Reborn

Someone, somewhere read this script and decided to put up the cash to make it. Imagine that?!

The threadbare plot involving a crypto wallet isn't even revealed until halfway through the film. The stakes couldn't be any lower and by then, no one cares. There's no character development. We're not even sure of the relationship between Pollard and Whitlock.

The original is so underrated. Great acting (even from the bit players), high stakes, James Caan as the double crossing mentor, some fantastic stunts and set pieces.

Eraser: Reborn doesn't even come close. The substitute for the crocodile scene is embarrassing. Pollard is revealed to be some sort of Dr. Dolittle who can talk to the animals.

As the film approaches its climax, it becomes even more boring. How did they let that happen?

I've given it 2/10 for the cinematography which is mostly pretty good.

... we would not need professional chefs. Same for movies. Here the smartest thing the producers did was to take the money saved by casting relative unknowns, and putting it into the cinematography, sound track, fight scenes, and SFX. Only one problem. Unlike the original (which I saw in a theater), there was no point in this film where I actually CARED what might happen next to any of these characters. Not even a little.

I enjoyed to original and wanted to enjoy this but at no point during the film did I feel engaged in it.

The film has a TV show vibe about it, they've transformed the hero into a ninja for some reason and the film overall lacks the jokey charm of Schwarzenegger.

Watch the original again, you'll have more fun.

Pretty much a remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger one. 100% predictable. The original wasn't the best but I recommend it over this nonsense ten times out of ten.

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.
