Apr 4, 2013 · By Jason Best. ( What's on TV ) published 4 April 2013. Dead drops, black ops and a rogue CIA agent on the run from murderously inclined former colleagues: The Expatriate certainly sounds like any number of recent espionage thrillers. Yet Aaron Eckhart’s fugitive spy isn’t quite another Jason Bourne. He’s saddled with his stroppy teenage ...

Watching action-thriller The Expatriate – or Erased as it’s known in America – one wonders if Liam Neeson turned the lead role down. Because although Aaron Eckhart delivers a fine performance as former CIA agent Ben Logan, at times it feels as if he’s doing an impression of the big man.
It doesn’t help that The Expatriate plays like a cross between two Neeson flicks – namely Taken and Unknown. And while it’s marginally better than the latter, it doesn’t come close to the former in either the action or thriller stakes.
Set in and around Belgium, the film finds Eckhart’s Logan now working for a mysterious security firm, and struggling to bond with the estranged daughter who has come to live with him following the death of his ex-wife.
A passable pot-boiler that plays like a sub-standard remake of countless recent releases.

Rotten Tomatoes reports a 28% approval rating, based on 46 critical reviews, and the average rating was 4.73/10; the website's critics consensus reads: "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."
