Eraser: Reborn

This movie only has bad parts. Incoherent, clumsy, exposition-ridden script. Complete lack of chemistry between any of the characters. Wooden performances – and I mean, I'm comparing against Schwarzenegger here. The exact same beats as the original movie, onky done MUCH worse in every single instance. There's absolutely room to make an Eraser reboot. Today's social media/surveilance capitalism world would make a great backdrop for a techno-thriller about a guy erasing people and getting them into witness protection. But no, this isn't that movie. I don't mind them setting the movie mostly in Cape Town or inserting social commentary on stuff like animal rights or apartheid. Sure, do that. But it's don so incredibly awkwardly and clumsily it just doesn't even come close to working. And the setting is completely wasted by weird direction and angles. No, stay away. Watch the original; it was at least a decent movie. This is more like an insult.

A popcorn action movie with nothing notable - apart from the name, signalling that the script writers also copied one of the themes from the original Eraser (and a hippopotamus, and maybe a rhinoceros). The fights were one sided, the shooting was as inaccurate as any US based movie, the heroes managed to fight on after being shot Don't watch it for the name, watch it because it is another b-grade action movie
