Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the "eraser" of the title - a federal marshal for the Witness Protection Program who helps witnesses by erasing their identities (which usually involves him blowing up some building or other). Of course, for the purposes of this action movie, things don't go to plan, and he and damsel-in-distress Vanessa Williams have to dodge bullets, explosions and quips before our hero can save the day. This disappointing adventure lacks the nonstop gung-ho action and entertainment we've come to expect from a Schwarzenegger movie and won't satisfy even die-hard Arnie fans.

A Witness Protection specialist becomes suspicious of his co-workers when dealing with a case involving high-tech weapons.
