If not for some genuinely impressive action scenes, Arnold Schwarzenegger's action thriller ERASER might have wound up even more forgettable than his later film COLLATERAL DAMAGE. It does benefit from the supporting work by James Caan and James Coburn. Sadly that's nearly derailed by the intrusive insertion of Robert Pastorelli's boorish comic relief. Vanessa Williams at first seems like she'll be an interesting female sidekick for Schwarzenegger. But soon she is demoted to being simply another damsel in distress. It has a forgettable evil scheme jumpstarting the plot but it does allow for some good set pieces and Schwarzenegger is reliable as ever.
