It's been online for a long time. The Blu-ray/DVD is available in foreign markets. Decent movie, nothing special. I wonder if they changed the name and are going to release it Stateside due to the success of "Taken"/"Taken 2"/etc...(?)

All I know is I prefer 'The Expatriate' over 'Erased'. It makes a whole more sense as a title.

I agree. Why just slightly vary the name of Arnie's old film?

I wonder why it came out there earlier and is only now being released in the US?

pretty sure it's because Erased is easier to pronounce or remember than Expatriate
after all Erased is for US
