It's a reboot but borrows several shots from the Arnie movie, I think the concept done with a bigger budget and talent, would have made for a good streaming series.
 
Looks decent, like a B or C Netflix movie.
But i agree with you @Hunter Rider ,the concept could have make a good streaming series.
 
This looks all kinds of generic and awful, but I'm honestly not surprised considering this is a reboot nobody asked for and it doesn't even look like they put that much money into it either.

I actually love the original Arnold film too and think it's one of his most underrated action films next to End of Days and its sad seeing it reduced to cheap, VOD schlock like this.

Finally, someone else who likes End of Days.
 
End of Days is hilarious. I wouldn’t call it good but really enjoy it. It has one of Arnold’s most underrated line: “You-ah a ****ing choi-ah boy compah-ed to me!”

Double Toasted just did a Bad Movie Roast of it; I highly recommend it. :funny:

Anyway, I have no idea why they decided to reboot Eraser. It was a movie made to capitalize on Arnie’s box office appeal at the time, and maybe Vanessa Williams’ stardom back then too. It was just another generic “badass guy protects woman under threat” movie. I swear, they made like 20 different versions of it in the 90s.
 
I guess I might be in the minority, but I've always loved End of Days and never got the hate for it although I know its not up to par with Arnold's earlier films or the classics like Terminator 1 and 2, True Lies or even Predator.

Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Pollack alone make it worth watching IMO and damn does it make me miss the days of those campy, big budget 90's B movies like Starship Troopers, Anaconda, Deep Blue Sea etc.

Unfortunately Eraser was the movie where the box office shine started to dull for Arnie, I think had it been a bigger hit it might have become a franchise for him.

Yeah it definitely isn’t one of his more revered (or even remembered) action films. Like, I can understand why they keep trying to revive Terminator. And a True Lies sequel about a husband and wife spy duo could be cool (even if it was already kinda done in Mr. and Mrs. Smith). But Eraser? What’s next? A reboot of Mercury Rising? Or a sequel to The Specialist? Not every 90s action movie needs to be revisited.

“You want to **** with me”.
“Your a choir boy compared to me a choir boy”
Lol Arnold called the devil a choir boy and sent him back to hell lol. BAD ASS.

Lmao, I had forgot about that. I really need to rewatch End of Days, Eraser and The 6th Day, it feels like an eternity since last watch and I've forgot so much.
 
The original is a fun B movie with quotable Arnold lines and other memorable and entertaining characters. This looks like another serious and forgettable action flick, and they are a dime a dozen.
