“Erasing His Past” (** out of four) was a hackneyed thriller about a woman (Laurie Fortier) whose husband (Michael Welch) vanishes under mysterious circumstances and is presumed dead but she then begins to realize all-too-late that he was not the Mr. Perfect he appeared and that he may still be alive which means that her and her daughter are in danger. Obvious and predictable pretty much all the way through over all-too-familiar territory. Good performances help but can’t “erase” films overall familiarity. Film scholars will note the return here of “To Kill A Mockingbird” actress Mary Badham in a good supporting turn as a bank manager.
