The stupid bitch of a daughter was too dumb. Got herself caught up because she's a damn brat. It took away from the whole movie. I watched another movie with her and she's the same dumb fool. Stop giving her roles. I can't even take the time to learn her name. The movie itself is bearable without her.

Erased was completely bland and without any substance, this movie was incredibly boring and was honestly a drudgery to get through. I honestly did not even want to finish this film. The acting was just sub par and mediocre, nothing at all to brag about. All the characters were very annoying as well, especially the daughter. The dialogue and script are very poor and just boring, not interesting or engaging at all. The movie has nothing going for it, I mean nothing, not the writing, not the actors, not the characters, not the action, not ANYTHING. This movie was really just a waste of 2 hours. This film was very overly long too, the runtime needed to be much shorter. Shorter as in 0 hours and 0 minutes lol. This movie really didn't need to be made. 1/10 for Erased.

ERASED is your latest garden-variety Bourne knock-off which copies the plotting, style, choreography, and even the music of the Greengrass-directed Bourne movies. This one stars a rather bland Aaron Eckhart as a former CIA agent who finds himself on the run with his estranged teenage daughter when his former employers decide to get rid of him.The plot is almost an exact copy of THE BOURNE SUPREMACY in which the protagonist is framed for a crime they didn't commit and then people try to silence them throughout. There are fight scenes with assassins, shoot-outs and chases, and the action is quite fun for what is essentially a B-movie rip-off. Certainly it's hard-hitting in places and the R rating is a refreshing alternative to the usual PG-13 thrills and spills.Unfortunately, ERASED falls down when it comes to the writing. The characters are flat and certain ones, like Olga Kurylenko's (QUANTUM OF SOLACE), have zero presence whatsoever; you wonder what on earth they're doing in the film in the first place. Even worse, the main character is saddled with one of those bratty teenage offspring whose only purpose seems to be to intentionally irritate the viewer. It spoils what is otherwise a workable if derivative thriller.

I couldn't work out why Jean Reno wasn't credited in the cast. I would have staked my mortgage on it, but of course it's not Jean Reno but his dopplebanger Eric Godon. My god do they look and act alike, even the build is similar. - That's all I really wanted to say, but I have to fill a bit of space to get this past the censors. 7 out of 10 for me. The script is similar to quite a few movies where whole departments get wiped out except for our hero who goes it alone to reveal corruption at the highest levels blah blah blah. I liked the idea of his daughter being the sidekick and the way he has to spill the beans to her about his past. Her naivety irritated me at first, but also saved his bacon a couple of times. Of course Olga is hot and a real pleasure on the eyes. Lots of holes in the script of course, like cooking up all that plastic explosive in someone's kitchen. And that stuffs heavy, so the exec carrying the briefcase would have suspected something.
