ERASED (Theatrical Release USA 2013)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Erased—nothing new here—fills its 95 minutes with bits and pieces of everything we’ve already seen in a hundred other action flicks. Aaron Eckhart seems a bit weak at times while in dialogue, but does well in most of action scenes. Young Lianna Liberato and Olga Kurylenko distinguish themselves in their roles.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. For a fill-in-some-spare-time afternoon action flick, it works; but, if you’re looking for a fresh, good, action flick revolving around a father and daughter theme choose Taken instead.
