I took a chance on "Erased" because I like spy novels and intrigue. But this film was a scrambled egg at best. If you take ten minutes from The Net, a Bourne movie, a Mission Impossible Movie, Ronin, a Liam Neeson thriller, and a made-for-TV father-daughter Movie of the Week drama, and then edit them all together, you might get an idea of how loose and disjointed this plot is. It's over-the-top but takes itself seriously, which just makes it sad. I actually felt sorry that the actors were forced to say some of these lines. One minute the daughter character was acting 13, the next minute she was assessing situations and taking action like a professional spy. The basic plot is revealed much too quickly and obviously, which is unforgivable for a spy thriller.
