Rickey made history by breaking baseball's color line in 1946 and signing Robinson, while Number 42 went on to made history on the field.
Why We're In: While Helgeland's film is in no way groundbreaking, it is still a dedicated and endearing tribute to two great heroes of American sports. Boseman, an unknown to the big screen, stands out for his commendable portrayal of Robinson, and Ford gives one of his best performances in years.

Brett and the City is produced by Ben Logan, Darren Mallett and Brett Sanders, who also stars. Synopsis: Brett Sanders is a confidently incompetent copier salesman living in Brooklyn who stops at nothing to find love, fame, and fortune in the big city.

Erased
Directed by Phillip Stölzl
Written by Arash Amel
USA, 2013
There’s a few distinct brands of action/thriller movie, and the most popular has always been “They Messed with the Wrong Man” (see also “Normal Guy becomes an Action Hero” and “Waaaarrrrr”) and Erased seems like an archetypal example. From the trailers and other advertisements, it looks like an absolutely hum-drum, boilerplate action/thriller of this mold, but there’s always hope that it’ll turn out to be one of those rare surprises that offers something new or interesting or is at least expertly made. Erased….is not one of these films.
The basic setup is this (stop me if you’ve heard this one): Aaron Ekhart plays Ben Logan, ex CIA badass now working for a company testing security systems in Brussels. Because his wife died of unspecified-itis, Ben’s also raising his tweenage daughter Amy,...

The rare sort of actor who can swing between Harold Hill-type independent film character work and credible, B-list leading man action hero, Aaron Eckhart has, in his latter incarnation, matched wits with aliens, terrorists and the disastrous effects of climate change. So it makes perfect sense that he’d want to tackle a chance to go full-on Jason Bourne. In “Erased,” he plays ex-cia agent Ben Logan, who discovers that his high-tech security job in Brussels has been a sham. Marked for termination, Ben escapes with his teenage daughter Amy (Liana Liberato), and tries to stay one step ahead of his dangerous adversaries while also unraveling a wide-ranging international conspiracy that [ Read More ]

Aaron Eckhart (who’s already had one action hit this year with Olympus Has Fallen) is apparently out to claim Liam Neeson’s mantle: Just like in the Taken films and Unknown, he’s playing an ex-black-ops guy who has to protect/save/find his family in this Europudding action thriller. The title, Erased, even sounds like a Liam Neeson film. (It was originally called The Expatriate, which was presumably nixed because Americans won’t know what the hell an expatriate is.) Five years from now, it’ll be an inevitable source of confusion: “Wait, what was that Liam Neeson movie? Abducted? Disappeared? Vanished? Erased?” “No, dummy, Erased starred that other guy…what’s his name?”I kid, I kid. Actually, for its first half, Erased is pretty solid — absorbing, suspenseful, even poignant. Eckhart plays Ben Logan, an American living in Belgium working for a security company, devising ways to defeat its own security systems.

Some actresses work their way into the public consciousness as much through tabloid shenanigans as any of their actual on-screen performances. Only 17 years old, Liana Liberato is opting for hard work, thank you very much. In director David Schwimmer’s underrated “Trust,” she delivered a stunning turn as an innocent 14-year-old suburban girl lured into a sexual liaison via online chatting — an act with ruinous consequences for her and her parents (Clive Owen and Catherine Keener). In her new film, the “Bourne”-inflected “Erased,” she stars as Amy, the crafty daughter of ex-cia agent Ben Logan (Aaron Eckhart); the two try to escape a contract rub-out and outsmart their hunters [ Read More ]

Mix a dollop of The Bourne Identity, a dash (or two) of Taken, and a pinch of the spy classic Three Days of the Condor (1975), stir it all together, and you get Erased, a thriller whose storytelling ingredients are so familiar that one could watch it with the sound off and still know what's going on. Aaron Eckhart is Ben Logan, a recently widowed private security analyst living in Brussels who awakes one morning to find his office empty, his co-workers in the morgue, and his personal identity wiped away. With his rebellious teenage daughter, Amy (Liana Liberato), in tow, Ben begins dodging assassins. As luck would have it, he's a retired black-ops agent, so, game on. German director Philipp Stölzl proves adept at staging fight scenes in confined spaces,...

Chicago – Two talented stars – Aaron Eckhart & Liana Liberato (“Trust”) – do a remarkable job of finding the depth in paper-thin, clichéd dialogue and generic contrivances but they can’t quite pull “Erased,” now available On Demand and opening in Los Angeles tomorrow, from its B-movie trappings. If you’re a spy thriller fan or love the perpetually underrated (and in need of a better agent) Eckhart, you may be surprised. Everyone else has a better alternative this weekend.
Eckhart plays Ben Logan, a CIA Special Ops agent who has left the world of spydom behind to take care of his daughter Amy (Liberato) and work for a private security firm in Antwerp (the movie was called “The Expatriate” in its international release last year). Before Ben can realize he’s in a Robert Ludlum plot, the company that he works for is liquidated, all evidence that he worked for them...

Just once, it'd be nice if the couple fleeing from a trigger-happy hit man through, say, a crowded hospital, would yell out -- "Run for your lives!" And if the hospital's in Belgium, say, it'd be nice for them to yell it in French.
"Erased" has such a scene, where Aaron Eckhart, as a security contractor whose company, bank records and recent history have been "erased," is fleeing with his daughter (Liana Liberato). And you can't help but feel for the innocent doctors, nurses and patients on gurneys who catch a bullet during the mayhem. Don't they deserve a warning?
"Erased" is a run-of-the-mill "Bourne" imitation in which covert operatives are desperate to tidy up a scheme in which American expat Ben Logan may be the only witness. It's an exposition-heavy thriller with that generic Euro-thriller blue-grey color palette and duller-than-grey villains, all chasing the good guy and his daughter through scenic Brussels and Antwerp,...

Hitting theaters in a limited release this Friday, director Philipp Stölzl's Erased stars Aaron Eckhart, Olga Kurylenko and Liana Liberato in an action-fueled thriller with a script from A.E. Amel. Eckhart plays Ben Logan, a former CIA operative now working as a security consultant in Brussels. Tensions are high between Ben and his daughter, Amy (Liberato), who would much rather be living with her mother. When Ben heads into work one day and finds that every trace of his company has been wiped from existence, both he and Amy become targets for a massive conspiracy that would like nothing more then seeing both Logans dead. ComingSoon.net sat down with Eckhart to discuss his role in the high-stakes thriller and the process by which he and Liberato built a father-daughter bond for...

Aaron Eckhart has quite a diverse body of work to look back on -- in the last two years alone, the actor has brought to the table both a complex portrait of a grieving father in the lauded "Rabbit Hole" and a more workman-like turn in the less-lauded "Battle: Los Angeles." "Erased," also known as "The Expatriate," has been kicking around since fall of last year -- its delayed release has been blamed on piracy concerns -- the film being especially sought out by pirates who would otherwise gorge on blockbusters. This is a good bit of press for a little film, a compact Belgium-set thriller that tweaks the "Taken" formula ever so slightly and lets it rest on Eckhart's capable shoulders. The actor, gaunt but still retaining his good looks, here plays Ben Logan, an expat with a mysterious past. Making a home in Belgium along with estranged daughter (of course) Amy,...

Untaken Legacy: Stolzl’s English Debut a Clunky, Derivate Actioneer
Originally titled The Expatriate, German director Philip Stolzl’s English language debut gets the dumbed down title of Erased, which unfortunately only makes it an easy target for jokes concerning what the film does with your time. While the film manages to avoid being completely asinine, nicely packaged and more smartly written than your general fare in the Taken vein, Stolzl’s film can never quite manage to feel like an original concept, instead feeling like a European tinged, anemic subset of the Jason Bourne franchise.

Director Philipp Stölzl’s “Erased” is certainly not bad. It’s not great, either, mind you, but in terms of sucky cinema, it’s not that. It’s a bit derivative, and aside from the film’s central father and daughter characters played by leads Aaron Eckhart and Liana Liberato, respectively, the film features some stunningly generic and one-dimensional people. Even an attempt to inject humanity into one of the villains comes across as flat and pointless, not to mention tacked on. Go big or go home, boys. They decided to meander instead. As a “Taken”-esque, “Bourne Identity”-ish actioner, “Erased” is not an entirely bad film. Set in and around Brussels, Belgium, the film stars Eckhart as Ben Logan, a former CIA badass (aren’t they all?) who has relocated to the European country to start a new life with his estranged daughter Amy (Liberato).

Aaron Eckhart knows of what he speaks.

Philipp Stölzl’s The Expatriate is not the first film in recent months to present a story of a father and child let loose in a European city, doing all that is necessary to defeat the evil forces fighting against them. However, unlike Taken 2 and A Good Day to Die Hard, The Expatriate feels somewhat more genuine, with a clear attempt to tell a clever story and not fully reliant on the already established franchise, with the job of winning over audiences rather than simply trading on past glories.
Having moved from America to Belgium, ex-cia agent Ben Logan (Aaron Eckhart) and his teenage daughter Amy (Liana Liberato) find themselves in a spot of bother when the former travels into work one day only to find his entire company doesn’t exist – and no record of his own existence can be traced.

★★★☆☆ This week, Aaron Eckhart throws his hat into the cerebral action hero ring for Philipp Stölzl's The Expatriate (Erased, 2012), an American espionage thriller which has more than a whiff of déjà vu about it. Imagine a less icily-efficient Jason Bourne, with a petulant daughter in tow, and you're somewhere close to what's offered up here. The Dark Knight's former nemesis, Eckhart, plays the titular character, Ben Logan. Forging a new future in Belgium after a dark past, he's juggling daddy duties with his recently-displaced older teenage daughter Amy (Liana Liberato), whilst working as a consultant for a high-profile security devices company.

After a new trailer a couple of weeks back, some fresh photos have just been released for the forthcoming Aaron Eckhart-led thriller "Erased." The film also features Liana Liberato and Olga Kurylenko, who's back in more familiar territory after her excursion with Terrence Malick in "To The Wonder." The film finds Eckhart playing ex-cia agent Ben Logan who discovers that he and his daughter (Liberato) have been marked for termination as part of a wide-reaching international conspiracy. A dangerous game of cat and mouse ensues as Logan tries to outsmart his hunters (amongst whom is Kurylenko) and uncover the truth. "Erased" has led a troubled existence ever since it was originally released last year as "The Expatriate" in foreign territories. An early DVD release in France spawned high piracy rates during its first week of global release in September 2012, and by October the film was already the 10th most...

Aaron Eckahrt’s ex-cia agent on the run actioner “The Expatriate” has been sitting on someone’s shelf for a while now, but 2013 looks like the film’s year. But if you’re still looking forward to “The Expatriate”, rejoice, because the film is now going by the rather generic and uninspired title of “Erased” (admittedly “The Expatriate” wasn’t all “that”, as the kids say, but it was still miles better than “Erased”). The plot is still the same, though, so no difference there. Take a gander at the newly revised trailer for “Erased” below, take a ganderers. The film also has a release date, which you can discover below. When ex-cia agent Ben Logan discovers that he and his daughter have been marked for termination as part of a wide-reaching international conspiracy, a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse ensues as Logan tries to outsmart his hunters and uncover the truth.

I like Aaron Echart as an actor, and the first trailer for his upcoming action thriller Erased has been released, and it looks like it could be a really good movie. Unfortunately it's been sitting on the shelf for a few years. It was already released internationally (titled The Expatriate) last fall. Here's the synopsis...
When ex-cia agent Ben Logan discovers that he and his daughter have been marked for termination as part of a wide-reaching international conspiracy, a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse ensues as Logan tries to outsmart his hunters and uncover the truth.
The movie will finally be released in the U.S. on May 10th. It doesn't look too bad for a film that's been sitting around for a while. ...

Are you prepared for Aaron Eckhart to be Bourne again as an action hero? In Erased, the character actor takes a stab at Liam Neeson.s territory by playing Ben Logan, a decommissioned CIA Black Ops agent who is pulled into a violent web of conspiracies and lies when the people he worked for try to eliminate him from existence. The trailer for the new thriller arrived on Yahoo Movies. We have it for you below: For so many reasons, Erased (which once was called The Expatriate) looks like Taken mashed together with Unknown, two recent Neeson joints that found him plowing through faceless adversaries. Pairing Eckhart.s character with a daughter (Liana Liberato) shouts out to Maggie Grace in Neeson.s movie. The lack of a proper identity slides right into the Unknown groove. And the soaking-wet, anonymous European settings give it that freshly-glazed Bourne appearance that studios are...

Honestly, after The Dark Knight, Aaron Eckhart has only been in one good movie, and that's Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman. This year, the actor is trying his best with a few efforts. Olympus Has Fallen comes out later this month, and I, Frankenstein is supposed to hit theaters this fall, but between those two films, Eckhart will hit theaters in the long delayed action thriller Erased, formerly known as The Expatriate. This first trailer feels like The Bourne Identity meets Unknown, Eckhart plays a CIA agent who suddenly finds that his office has been dissolved, and operatives are after him and his daughter to finish the job. Watch! Here's the first trailer for Philipp Stölzl's Erased, originally from Yahoo: When ex-cia agent Ben Logan (Aaron Eckhart) discovers that he and his daughter have been marked for termination as part of a wide-reaching international conspiracy, a dangerous game of...

Things seemed to slow down a little bit for Olga Kurylenko following 2008′s Quantum of Solace. While being a Bond girl is usually a good way for an actress to get people’s attention, the biggest thing of her’s to be released since then is probably Neil Marshall‘s Centurion. And, frankly, when the biggest thing of yours to be released in a few years is Neil Marshall‘s Centurion…well, something isn’t going right.
But, any fans of her shouldn’t be worried, as she has a role in Terrence Malick‘s new movie not called The Tree of Life, and has just landed another part. According to Variety, the Ukrainian actress has joined the cast of The Expatriate, a thriller starring Aaron Eckhart and directed by Philipp Stolzl. Kurylenko‘s role will have her playing a CIA agent who “assigned to track down his character, her former partner and lover.
