Summary: True Lies - An extremely entertaining action/drama film!
Review: "True Lies" is quite simply, one of the most entertaining, fast paced and hilarious films that Arnold Schwarzenegger has ever starred in. From the very first time I saw this movie in the theater to several viewings both in VHS and DVD format, I've found that the superior script and exceptional acting in this film entertains every time. I've read of and heard many lament over some aspects of this film and the best I could say to those is that quite often the movies that Hollywood produces are a sensationalism of real life events and ultimately a movie such as this one is for entertainment not making statements about any one group or individual and as a medium for entertainment, this film succeeds completely!Performance wise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton, Tia Carrere and Art Malik all deserve great honors and the accolades they received for their respective parts in this film. "True Lies" was probably Arnold Schwarzenegger's best overall performance both in the action and the dramatic sense. Jamie Lee Curtis couldn't have been any better in this role and I can honestly say that I was impressed with Tom Arnold's performance in this movie whereas any other film or show I've seen him in I was not impressed. I believe the only other movie I've seen that Art Malik was in was "The Living Daylights" and in both that movie and this one his work has been exceptional. Say what you may like about director James Cameron but you would definitely have to admit that prior to the current but most likely "temporary" culmination of his career as a director with the movie "Titanic" and heading off to run the "Dark Angel" television series, few directors could come close to matching his accomplishments. "True Lies" was James Cameron's fifth highly successful hit in a row and with this movie and "Titanic" one could definitely say that during this run of box office hits, he had the pulse of the fans as he wrote screenplays and directed these extraordinary films. The Premise: Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a high speed "spook" working for a highly secretive government agency that is a watch dog/operator spook agency that identifies and handles terrorist threats to the United States. Along with his handler Albert Gibson (Tom Arnold), they uncover a major terrorist operation which is bent on using nuclear warheads against the US to accomplish its goals. As Harry, Albert and their organization are working to uncover the terrorists plot; his family becomes heavily involved in the story which is where Helen Tasker (Jamie Lee Curtis) comes in to play and some extremely hilarious scenes involving Simon (Bill Paxton). What follows from there is one of the most hilarious and exciting action/drama films to have come out of the nineties. I highly recommend this film to any and all who are interested in seeing a great, fast paced, highly intriguing and hilarious action/drama movie and aren't interested in reading too much into the plot or the characters in the plot that are used as plot devices. {ssintrepid} Special Features: -Original Theatrical Trailer

Summary: I'll make it quick
Review: I pity the people who review this film as 1 star on grounds that it is racist and sadist. This is a great film, original, witty and thoroughly entertaining - one of those one you can watch again and again. To people (or pansies) who find the interrogation scenes sadistic and 'terryfying' please get a life. If you found that terryfying then god knows how peopale like you are able to survive in this world. Oh and the selfish just could't leave racism out of this one could we? Whenever someone metions 'Islamic terroism' there is an upwoar of racism related publicity. The fact remains that there does exist Islamic terrorist in the world and if you don't like it portrayed in pictures then I suggest you change your faith.

Summary: I agree with Kasheri
Review: Finally, I find someone who sees the abusiveness in the relationship between Arnie and his wife. I find it really disturbing that this is supposed to be funny. And that scene where he interrogates her is absolutely frightful.

Summary: pumped up action with the govenor of New York
Review: good, solid action with Arnold chewing up badguys with lots of gadgets and tools. the hottest scene would be when Jamie Lee Curtis strips, meow baby. note the other cast including, Bill Paxton, Art Malik, Grant Heslov, Charlton Heston and Eliza Dushku. for fans of the Arnold man. I cant stop calling him the govenor, its so addicting and it adds some spark to my reviews as I do them

Summary: If you like cruelty and racism...
Review: This movie troubled me at the time of it's release. I was bothered that so few reviewers, and even fewer viewers, noticed the inhumanity and cruelty of the main character. Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is authentically abusive toward his wife Helen Tasker (Jamie Lee Curtis), bludgeoning her with fear. The film's central message seems to be that no one swarthy can be trusted. Bear in mind that this film was made long before 9/11/01. I am a pretty easy-going viewer and enjoy a good shoot-em-up action film as much as the next person, but this film was truly offensive to me.

Summary: Over the top fun!
Review: This movie has it all, comedy, great cast, and over the top action! You get the feeling that everyone involved with this project had a great time, and I consider it one of Schwarzenegger's best films, if not the best! From the 007 spoof beginning til the tango at end there is never a dull moment in action or comedy!
