Summary: Hands Down! Arnolds best!
Review: This is arnolds best movie! This action movie has everything. Great action sequences, comedy (some of the best comedy in the movie is by Tom Arnold), romance, drama. This one has it all. It isn't a normal action movie where its just good guy vs. bad guy. This one has better bigger conflicts. Arnold actually did some acting in this one. Tom Arnold was the true comedy in the movie though. Actually he was just great period. Some things that go on in the action sequences are very funny too. Everything worked in this action movie. James Cameron is the king of action! A great movie to watch w/ a group of friends or family. Awesome Movie!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Let's Not Tell a Lie: The Movie Stinks
Review: I cannot believe the fast majority of Amazon reviewers praised the film for its action and both "Arnolds" performances. That withstanding, this film has the most racist assemblage of stereotypical villains this side of "Birth of a Nation." It also exploits Jamie Lee Curtis's well-conditioned figure to titillate the 14-year-olds who probably made up the bulk of the audience.

I almost gave it a 1-star rating but I couldn't do that to director James Cameron. He did make the superb "Terminator" films that feature kick-but performances from Linda Hamilton and a little flick about a doomed ocean liner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Arnolds best movie ever!
Review: This is without a doubt the best arnold movie out there. A Great action movie, and great comedy in this movie. A perfect score by Brad Fiedel in this movie. Great Cast too, Jaime Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, and Art Malik support in this great movie. Great sound on the DVD also, and the picture is flawless. The Action sequences are fantastic in this movie, my favorite being the bathroom shoot out, great scene. All in all a fantastic movie by James Cameron. Highly Recommended!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Misogynistic garbage!
Review: This film has some great scenes and everything but then goes off on this anti-women tangent which just goes on and on... This whole sub-plot about the cheating wife and the revenge taken upon her... .... This stupidity causes no less than the setting off of an atomic bomb in the USA - somehow easily glossed over? And the level of anti-Arab sentiment is just beyond belief. I am not an Arab myself but I couldn't take watching the stereotypes of "Arabs are all terrorists/fanatics", etc. A shame overall as it did seem to have some worthwhile potential...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Yeeehah
Review: This is a great movie. Every now and then a movie comes along that you can watch again and again and again. I had this movie on VHS and every now and then it would call to me and I would watch it again. Now I have it on DVD it calls louder and more often. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because you can see the tape marks around the bullet holes when he kicks open the doors in the bathroom after shooting things up. This was definately a high budget movie and it bugs me that that is there every time I watch it. I hear they are working on the sequal. All I can say is it is about time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Arnold's comeback
Review: This movie was one of Arnold's last blockbusters and fan-pleasers by all the positive reactions to this movie. I love this movie and i can still remember the first time i watched it. Tom Arnold is great with his comedy relief kinda act and it makes the movie even better b/c it mixes it with comedy and action but still reminds true to James Cameron's style. Go get this movie or rent it, i'm sure u will like it. If u don't hey, u didn't like it. I did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Arnold's Best Action Movie!
Review: Let me start off by telling you that this movie is a roller coaster ride from start to finish. I loved every minute of it. James Cameron did a excellent job directing. I have enjoyed all of Arnold's movies...but nothing will ever top True Lies. This is a must have movie that the whole family will enjoy. Hang on to your seats! 5 stars all the way!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Movie Ever Made!
Review: This is one of the greatest movies ever made in my opinion (along with Die Hard). The action was so non-stop, great effects, great plot (which most big time actions don't) and the actors did such a great job. Also James Cameron... WOW. I mean I do not think that any other directer could have done anything even near what he did for this movie. Before I am done I do want to address a couple things that I have read in the reviews here, some people say that this movie knocks on people from the Middle East that it portrays them as all totaly evil and heartless, you know really it shouldn't matter that much it is a movie, and that the action was very pointless, this movie has a very well defined plot that seems to justify the killing. I mean the man is protecting like millions of lives, I would hope that if that evr happened near me some one would kill them all. Basicly this is one of the greatest movies ever it is a must see no matter what kind of movies you like! It is too bad that there are not more that 5 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!
Review: Delivering more than the usual high quotient of blow-you-out-of-your-seat SFX and action sequences, True Lies also delivers what might be the best performances of Arnold's and Jamie Lee's careers. Their delightfully comic transformations (particularly hers) inject a very human spirit into this wonderfully engaging spy/action/triller, which is not at all what you might expect from the pre-Titanic James Cameron. Bill Paxton is hilarious, and Tom Arnold, of all people, actually shines in his comic turn as Arnie's superslueth sidekick. The action mayhem that ensues, matched with Jamie Lee's bravura sexpot, is entertaining beyond belief. And the wonderful tango sequence is nearly worth the price of the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST action movie ever made / a REAL guilty pleasure!
Review: Arnie is great as the sales rep father who's really a spy, Jamie Lee is teriffic as his naive and giddy wife. I never thought Tom Arnold could do anything entertaining until I saw this. A thrill ride from start to finish, send the kids out of the room and buckle your seat belt!
