Over The Top Violence - Comedy!
This movie has everything: Undercover agents, military violence, insane anti-American antagonist, great comic situations, Jamie Lee Curtis doing a sexy dance, family rescue... best of all, Arnold. Who else can deliver true grit fighting and side-splitting humor the way Arnold can? This movie has them both in adequate amounts to keep you riveted. Who dances the Tango better, Jamie Lee or Tia Carrera? This movie is just great fun!!

Top class blockbuster
Arnie is a spy, Jamie Lee Curtis is a housewife. Inside the lies of their marriage are a great many fine stunts and setpieces, with some superb one liners and a lot of first class action.
This is a very entertaining and enjoyable film, like James Bond but with less class.

This Super Action Movie Delivers Great Entertainment.
This is a classic! Continuous action-adventure with a good measure of comedy. The cast is great, the production does the trick, the story is almost-believable. You can't look away, it is pure fun and entertainment.

Schwarzennegger's last good movie
To some people Arnold's career came to a flaming crash with "The Last Action Hero," which while not quite as bad as it's reputation is, was still a pretty lousy movie. However, to someone who had the aura of never making a mistake it was shattering. "True Lies" was a near return to form, bringing back all of Arnold's humor, action, and a few good one liners. However, the writing was already on the wall, for the humor supplants the seriousness of the action, and Arnold's good guy mystique starts to wear thin. Taken by itself "True Lies" is a decent movie with enough going on to keep the viewer's interest, and a pretty wild final action sequence. Sadly it seems as if this was the last gasp of a spectacular career.

One of my favorite Arnold movies.
I remember THE STINK everyone made when this movie came out.
The scene where Arnold "interrogates" his wife to see if she's cheating.
Oh..................how the critics moaned about how the movie was anti this and anti that.
NOW before anybody jumps down my throat and calls me a hypocrite for giving a movie like "Crash" a lousy review, let me say this.......
Crash was marketed and shoved down our throats as the movie that would, ahem..."enlighten" us.
When in fact all it did was stereotype every person on the planet and make all of us look bad.
True Lies on the other hand?
It's fantasy, its fiction, it's a great weekend popcorn, check your brain at the door movie.
It was never marketed as a "serious" movie that would change your whole outlook on life.
The acting gets a passing grade.
The directing is good.
The fx are decent but looking a tad dated.
The story has enough twists and turns to keep you interested until the ending credits.
All in all it's one of the better, BOOM BOOM movies Hollywood has thrown at us.
Fun from start to finish, lighten up and don't take this movie seriously, the movie sure doesn't.
