Summary: What a Fun Movie
Review: If you have any doubts about Arnold's abilities then you need to see this film. It has humor, action, romance, intrigue, and an actual story line. I loved it. The special effects were not as good as the terminator, but they were still great. Tom Arnold plays oppistie Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, and really makes a person laugh. Jamie Lee Curtis is beautiful as ever, and does a terrific job portraying a career mom who longs for excitment in her life as she has begun to feel her life and family are nothing but ordinary. That is until she learns her husband is a government spy. This is a very enjoyable film, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Supremely Entertaining Movie
Review: Director/writer brought with True Lies one of the best action films of the 90's. When it came out, it was an escapist movie, but now it seems all to close for comfort (read on ). But nonetheless it is a true adrealine rush of action and sharp humor and a balanced plot that involves nuclear bomb stealing terrorists and the dual part is Arnold's wife getting involved in is spy operation, very humorously.

The effects and stunts are eye-popping. Jamie-Lee Curtis' stunt double dangling from a helicopter is one of the many in Lies, and anyone who knows James Cameron knows that these are something to behold. And Arnold of course is always at the top of his game. if you are into James Cameron and/or Arnold, True Lies should satisfy your hunger for action.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Arnold's best performance
Review: Like him or not, everybody can acknowledge that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a breed apart - and I mean that in a positive way. He has made a few movies that can be forgotten, and some that may be remembered. I think True Lies is his best movie, for several reasons. The storyline of the movie is quite simple: secret agent discovers some bad guys (and a good looking bad woman) and chases them in an spectacular style (ever see a Hawker Harrier land on the highway?). Director and production team had a good vision on how to give the public what they wanted to tell: some suspense, some violence and a lot of action, but sure enough more laughs than you might expect. Although much of the action scenes are highly exaggerated in various ways, this movie might be the landmark on big action scenes that do look very realistic. At that time the digital domain wasn't as good as it is nowadays but it does the job. The scene in which a truck with baddies is shot off a bridge with a rocket launched from a helicopter is legendary. And if you don't have a big laugh after the events that follow then, just turn the movie off.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Arnold is great!
Review: This one of my favorite Arnold movies! You'll never get tired of watching this one. It has all the action/humour/also sexy scenes you could possibly expect to see from two great actors, Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis. They make a nice duo for sure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action
Review: This is my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. This is one movie that's full of non stop action yet it has time for a little commedy. In the 90's when there were action movies galore this was what seperated the men from the boys.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: True Lies
Review: True Lies is a really good movie. I'm not a big Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, but I loved the movie. Some parts are really fun. I also never really thought of Grant Heslov killing people. This movie is better than the other one I like. I like the movie called Dante's Peak, but I like True Lies is better. The actors can be funny and sometimes really serious.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No Lies, this film is great!
Review: James Cameron reteamed with Schwarzenegger in one of the big man's last good action films of late, where Arnie is secret agent Harry Tasker with Jamie Lee Curtis as his unassuming wife who thinks he's a sale rep. This isn't one of Cameron's best, but it's still a cracking action film that has enough stunts, explosions and witty one-liners to fill a dozen Bond films.

The film, based on the french film "Le Totale!", is Cameron easing up on his usual gung-ho heroics and bringing some humour hirthero unseen in the Cameron cannon. The pairing of witty Tom Arnold and Arnie is great, and the halarious Bill Paxton as the under-endowed used-car salesman who tricks Tasker's wife (Curtis) into going on a "mission" with him. And of course, the buxom Curtis, who brings a leval of sexyness to the whole thing, has one of her best roles since the old slasher films she starred in in the 80's.

The action ante is impressive, and near the end we see Cameron's M.O resurface, with some incredible explosions and the big man's increasingly large arsenal along the way. It's very fun, very cool, and a must-have for any action fan. Dissapointing DVD extras with only a trailer, one hopes a re-release will come along soon...
