What You Need To Know:
Sadly, ERASER: REBORN fails to live up to its predecessor and relies on heavy foul language and violence instead of character development and story. Without the added benefit of a star like Schwarzenegger, the movie lacks the first movieās blockbuster power. There are some moral, redemptive elements stressing justice, trust and sacrifice, but the movie contains heavy foul language and bloody violence. The violence in ERASER: REBORN is more campy than realistic, however. MOVIEGUIDEĀ® advises extreme caution.
