Arnold delivers bigger than life action once again, 19 December 1999
9/10
Author: Jason

When this movie came out, it had been two years since Arnold had been on the big screen. Well, it was worth the wait as ERASER was a great action/thriller. Really cool special effects, a great plot. Arnold shows he is still the top star of action movies.
