Arnold Schwarzenegger was getting towards the end of his run as the preeminent action star of the 1990's. Eraser is probably the last really entertaining Arnold action movie.
Whoever was responsible for hiring the actors for this film did a very good job. Arnold plays a U. S. Marshall working in the Witness Relocation Program for the Department of Justice. He gets involved with Vanessa Williams playing an employee of a crooked defense contractor who is ready to testify for the U.S. Government. Eraser has a great supporting cast with James Coburn playing the head of the Witness Relocation Program, James Caan one of it's top agents and the actor Robert Pastorelli as one of Arnold's witnesses who is now in the relocation program.
The film has very entertaining action scenes and Arnold playing off of a strong group of actors certainly helps the film.
Walon Green and Tony Puryear get screenplay credit, but apparently there were a lot of other uncredited writers involved in the film, the film runs 114 minutes.
