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.
