Muscle-bound, heavily-accented John Kruger is employed by the Witness Protection Program as an "eraser." In other words, he wipes out a witness's identity in order to save him or her from potential harm. One such person is beautiful Lee Cullen, who possesses vital information regarding super high-tech weapons -- and a government conspiracy connected to them.

It's the sort of plot you've seen so many times before that you forget exactly where you've seen it before, though you know it probably worked better then.

James Caan is good as the heavy, but the movie degenerates into routine comic-book mayhem.

Schwarzenegger delivers big action, big stunts and high-tech suspense, but Eraser ultimately fails to thrill.

Second-rate Arnold, but entertainingly over-the-top.
