What to Know

Critics Consensus

Derivative to a fault, Erased squanders some nifty potential and its talented cast in a bland retelling of a story action fans have seen too many times before.

Arash Amel's plot is a hodgepodge of threadbare motifs, liberally cut and pasted from every thriller you've seen. Go to Full Review
Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture May 17, 2013
Characters we genuinely care about are lost in a movie that almost dissipates before our very eyes. Go to Full Review

"Erased" isn't actively bad, it's just doing something that has been done a whole lot better before. Go to Full Review
Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Nov 27, 2019
Edge-of-your-seat, non-stop action, adventure and espionage keep Erased from being erased. Go to Full Review

Luke S Dec 27, 2018 A nice action thriller. There are not a lot of surprises but it feels like putting on a comfortable coat. You know what you'll get. Nicely acted. Nice effects. See more
Hermione S Feb 26, 2018 "Erased" feels like a mystery/thriller that you've seen before and that's because the story is pretty generic and formulaic for the genre. It's not really doing anything new or different but that isn't making it a terrible film, just a forgettable one. The film is put together well enough, the cast is doing a tremendous job and even some of the action is decent but, overall, there's no escaping that this story has been done before and done a whole lot better. "Erased" isn't a bad movie and it's never boring but it finds itself just settling for serviceable and that, ultimately, makes it forgettable. Hello! My name is Rev.

Abraham W Feb 24, 2018 Pretty good movie. Not sure why all the low ratings. Kept me interested.
Hagrid S Oct 30, 2017 Not sure I followed the plot but got the gist. Guy on the run from bad guys, has to figure stuff out and kill the bad guys. Nothing new here but fun to watch and reasonable cast. See more
Albus S Dec 29, 2015 Neither here nor there
