Jamie Lee Curtis Movie:

Editorial Review:
From The Terminator to Titanic, you can always rely on writer-director James Cameron to show you something you've never seen on the big screen before. The guy may not consistently pen the most scintillating dialogue in the world (and, especially in this movie, he doesn't seem to have a particularly high regard for women), but as a director of kinetic, push-the-envelope action sequences, he is in a class by himself. In True Lies, the highlight is a breathtaking third-act jet and car chase through the Florida Keys. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a covert intelligence agent whose wife of 15 years (Jamie Lee Curtis) finally finds out that he's not really a computer salesman and who becomes mixed up in a case involving nuclear arms smuggling. Tom Arnold is surprisingly funny and engaging as Schwarzenegger's longtime spy partner, and Bill Paxton is a smarmy used-car salesman (is that redundant?) whom Arnold thinks is having an affair with his wife. Purely in terms of spectacular action and high-tech hardware, True Lies is a blast. --Jim Emerson

True Lies [Region 2] Reviews:
This movie has it all and then some!
2009-12-24 - This movie has it all...and then some!

I appreciate humor mixed with action, and this movie does so perfectly. A.Swngr plays his part semalessly, and we can almost believe that the Adonis in the three-piece-suit is a computer salesman and NOT a secret government agent. And I suspend disbelief that his wife does NOT gape and wonder at his amazing physique every morning as they get ready for work. My point? The movie does well to make us believe what it wants us to believe.

And Bill Paxton as the used car salesman is hilarious. I laugh every time he's on screen, and A.Swngr plays well against him with comedic responses in good timing.

You cannot go wrong with Tom Arnold as the partner. He is funny and quippy, and he always has A.Swngr's back.

Laughs, gun-play, fist-fights, an incredible stunt on horseback, and a sexy strip-tease... what else could you ask for?

Enjoy and feel confident adding this to your permanent collection.

Watch it over and over
2009-12-12 - This is one of those movies that can be watched over and over again.
The chemistry of the actors is excellent and they deal with the storyline by making the most of the comedy while bringing along the intrigue. It's over the top and then pulling you into the action and back again.
Yes, this is one of those movies that you will watch over and over again because it's fun.

I thought this was downright stupid
2009-08-29 - I am very choosy with my Schwartznegger movies, and this was the worst. It's even worse than "The Terminator". I guess I had a hard time with the double life of a computer salesman, and being a spy. I couldn't keep up, and then there's the double life of the computer salesman's wife with the used car salesman. However, the action scenes while thrilling were hard to believe. I just feel that they overdid this movie, and it's just terrible. I also found it humilating when they made the used car salesman pee himself. Was that suppossed to be funny? I just didn't like this movie, and perfer the movie "Eraser" over this. At least with "Eraser" it was more intelligent.

Oldie?
2009-08-06 - This movie is kind of old.
I like watching it again sometimes.
Nice to have in the library.
Great action scenes!

A really funny movie!
2009-07-03 - This was one of the funniest movies. It probably helps that I like Arnold. I think the story line was great although it may have gotten a bit cheesy towards the end. Still very worth watching.
