Holmes



Holmes is a minor antagonist of the 1996 film Eraser. He is a thug working for U.S. Mashall Robert Deguerin.

Role
As it turns out, Holmes is involved of a conspiracy plot (formulated by U.S. Undersecretary Daniel Harper) to sell electromagnetic rail-guns (created by Cyrez Corporation) on the black market, and that the notorious terrorist Sergei Ivanovich Petrofsky has paid in $52 million for 10 tons of the weaponry. As such, Holmes is tasked in helping out loading the weaponry on Petrofsky's freighter ship at the Baltimore docks.

However, U.S. Marshal John Kruger arrives in the rescue by bringing in a mob witness named Johnny Castleone, who brought in his cousin Tony Two-Toes (who owns the docks and is disgusted by the illegal arms sale) and his men to help. To that end, Kruger hides himself in an empty warehouse before Agents Schiff and Calderon spot him and fire their railguns to destroy the warehouse. Deguerin then sends in Holmes and Royce inside the warehouse to see if Kruger is dead or not.

As Royce ends up being shot to death by a sniper who mistook him for Kruger, Holmes continued surveying the area, that is until Kruger pulls out a scaplel blade and stabs Holmes in the chest, killing him instantly.
