“Eraser: Reborn” (*1/2 out of four) was an abortive remake of the vastly underrated 1996 Arnold thriller about a special agent (Dominic Sherwood) who specializes in engineering the fake deaths of government witnesses so they can go into witness protection; one such witness (Jacky Lai) proves particularly tough to protect as he realizes he’s involved in a much larger conspiracy than he realized. Fast-paced but utterly bland and generic; film weakly recreates so many set pieces from the original (including the allegator scene) that there’s no point. Erase this one from your list and re-watch the original again instead.
