Summary: 'True' God
Review: Divinity defined! Arnold Schwarzenegger has done it again! The Omega Sector's top secret agency pits Schwarzenegger against some coarse enemies in this big budget extravaganza. James Cameron needs to stick to making action movies and not dramas. Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger) detonates bombs, stops terrorists and does the Tango! Pure lordage! No human being can do all of those things, not even James Bond. He has nothing compared to Arnold Schwarzenegger! However, the secret agent life is exciting, his home life is dull to the extreme. His wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) doesn't know her husband leads a double life and she wants more excitement in her life. She decides to do something outrageous with a used cars-salesman! Ridiculous! Tom Arnold is a comic genius and uses vulgar language. Plentiful! The action and the ending to this movie is pure splendidry. I was clapping throughout the whole movie and look out for a cameo from Charlton Heston! Pure God!

Summary: True Lies
Review: Great action flick. Cannot believe the helicopter scene and Jamie Leigh's dance scene. Glad I have this on DVD, it's easier to pause than a tape. Buy this if you can, it's well worth it.

Summary: true lies
Review: True Lies is one of the best action movies of our time. The plot is Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator Movies) is in the FBI but his family doesn't know. Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) and Tom Arnold (The Stupids). It's one of my favorite movies and it should be one of yours. It also had some of the best special effects, which is remarkable considering that it was released in 1994 befor special effects became noticeably better. Bye.

Summary: Action-packed, Thrilling, Original.
Review: Arnold stars as " Harry", a family man who is a dull Computer
sales men to his wife, but unknown to them that he is a secret agent ( ala James Bond with Muscles) who must take out Foriegn
Terrorist. James Cameron did a outstanding and memoriable job with this movie, if you like Arnold, check this one out.

Summary: Not a typical action movie - one of the best movies yet!
Review: I really disagree with the reviewer who said that True Lies is a typical action movie. While it includes plenty of action, it also has wonderful romance and comedy. After seeing this movie twice at the theater I purchased the DVD and have watched it several times and will watch it at least once every few months as it's become a family favorite. If you haven't seen this movie because you think it will be a typical Arnold Schwarzenneger action flick then you are really missing out! The plot is hilarious with plenty of comedy from Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold. It's completely unpredictable and very entertaining. One of the few movies I'll give 5 stars! Loved it and I'm looking forward to True Lies 2!

Summary: Arnold at his best
Review: Arnold at his best as Agent Harry Tasker, the only man able to foil the plans of a terrorist who is trying to bring nuclear warheads into the United States. The big problem? His wife and child think that he is a mild mannered computer salesman. The even bigger problem? His wife is starting to feel too alone because of his "conferences" and is beginning to eye other
men.
The action in this movie is incredible. Arnold takes on legions of bad guys and disposes of them with the requisite explosions, gun shots, sheer muscle, and sarcastic comments. Jamie Lee Curtis plays his wife Helen with the suitable mousy-ness which comes totally unhinged at one point to show the lioness beneath.
Tom Arnold plays Harry's sidekick and is surprisingly good with the comedy as is character actor, Bill Paxton.
More sensitive people might find this a little too timely at this point in our history but others, such as myself, find it extremely cathartic and a tad patriotic.

Summary: C'mon....for Arnold? This is Gold......
Review: Both of 'em.... Tom Arnold keeps up the comic sidekick with a subtle flair (despite being thrown around a little too much) Enjoyable.....good action with just the right touch of self deprecation to keep the pretensions down to a manageable level...

Summary: Gloriously and successfully over the top
Review: Action movies generally make some attempt at credibility both in plot and in the action itself. "True Lies" does not and, in a strange way, it seems to be liberated by its total disregard for plausibility and ends up as one of the most entertaining movies of its type. Harry Renquist (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a US federal agent working for an agency whose very existence is denied. His own wife, Helen Tasker, (Jamie Lee Curtis) thinks that he is Harry Tasker, a rather boring computer salesman and that, when he is off saving the world, he is merely trying to sell a few computers to a foreign company. He is perhaps a little too boring for Helen and she is just beginning to get involved with Simon (Bill Paxton) a used car salesman who is pretending to be a spy when her husband finds out and attempts to use the resources of his department to keep tabs on the two of them. Meanwhile, his current assignment, an investigation into a Mid East terrorist group led by Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik) begins to become tangled up with his domestic affairs. With the help of Juno Skinner (Tia Carrere) an art dealer specialising in Persian antiquities, Aziz smuggles a batch of ex Soviet nuclear warheads into Florida. His plan is to detonate one as a demonstration and then to hold the US to ransom. As a sideline, he decides that he must kidnap and interrogate Renquist who has been getting a little too close in his investigation. That leaves Renquist/Tasker and his wife on an island with a soon to be detonated bomb and three other warheads headed off across the country. Of course, you already know that Arnie will save the day and square things with his wife but plot and story line are really just a convenient peg on which to hang some gloriously indulgent action sequences. As far as it goes, the acting is really all about Schwarzenegger and Curtis. Everyone else is pretty much incidental. Arnie strides through the action sections with his normal aplomb but he falls down badly when he is playing the part of the cuckolded husband. In that mode he is unconvincing. Curtis too is a bit of a let down. She seems to be walking rather woodenly through most of the film though she does wake up when she gets involved in the action. Art Malik does a decent job in the not too demanding role of Aziz the master terrorist. However Tia Carrere just hams it up too far in her role as Juno Skinner the beautiful but evil sidekick. None of this matters though as we are watching this film to see Arnie try to ride a horse off a skyscraper and rescue his daughter with a Harrier jet fighter. There is action aplenty and the movie just keeps dishing it up. It it one of the few films that has actually made this reviewer's pulse rate rise. This movie does not let the audience catch its breath. The stunts themselves are splendid. Of course they are almost universally implausible but they work. As an action movie, this is about as good as it gets. The pace is sometimes a little frantic but as escapist enjoyment the film is a hit.
