Simon really likes Eraser.

And with that in mind, Ive, er, just forked out to import the American Blu-ray release.

Not that its particularly worth doing so, to be fair.

Furthermore, you cant really applaud the video transfer too much either.

The audio track is a bit meatier, but then it was on the DVD as well.

So what of the film?

3 stars

Well, Ive got a theory or two.

That said, apart from a bit of CGI, everything about it screams early 80s action movie.

Theory two is that this is aTerminatorfilm by any other name.

Nails, big falls, gunshots?

The man, quite literally, just gets up and carries on.

And you know what?

Its fun to watch.

And thats what I admireEraserfor the most.

Theres no pretension here, its a straight blast, and all the better for it.

That said, theres no reason I can see to invest in the Blu-ray.

That empty DVD will do the job pretty much as well, for a lot less cash.
