True Lies

( 8 )

Overview

Borrowing liberally from the French film La Totale, this is an action picture, domestic comedy, and political thriller rolled into a crowd-pleasing ball of entertainment. Producer James Cameron wrote and directed the film. Henry Tasker Arnold Schwarzenegger is a workaholic computer salesman neglecting his mousy wife Helen Jamie Lee Curtis, a legal secretary.

More About This Product

Overview

Borrowing liberally from the French film La Totale, this is an action picture, domestic comedy, and political thriller rolled into a crowd-pleasing ball of entertainment. Producer James Cameron wrote and directed the film. Henry Tasker Arnold Schwarzenegger is a workaholic computer salesman neglecting his mousy wife Helen Jamie Lee Curtis, a legal secretary. Simon Bill Paxton seduces Helen with the lie that he is a secret agent; he's really a used car salesman. Harry suspects that Helen is cheating on him, and he sends a few colleagues to kidnap them. Helen then discovers that Harry is a secret agent by night, working for a shadowy group called the Omega Sector. Harry and his partner Gib Tom Arnold are trying to find four nuclear warheads that have disappeared from a former Soviet republic. ~ Michael Betzold

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide - Jason Clark
A cheeky update of action hero films, notably the James Bond series, James Cameron's inventive, exciting opus has an instantly dated feel, but is so jammed with tricks up its sleeve it's hard to resist. His next filmed effort following mega-hit Terminator 2: Judgment Day, director Cameron packs his emblematic visual punch into every major set-piece, including a hair-raising finale involving a high rise building and a Harrier Jump Jet. The movie gleefully abandons close scrutiny almost to the point of sheer foolishness, but one could guess this was the point of the 007 films as well. The film made even more money than Cameron's previous efforts, but was greeted with jeers by both women's groups and people of Middle Eastern descent for its unflattering portrayals of both. The former is evident in a clumsy striptease performed by co-star Jamie Lee Curtis that many deemed sexist and unnecessary, the latter chiding the director for his representation of Arabs as villainous and lecherous.

    Entertaining action flick! Arnold rocks!

    If you love high quality action flicks than True Lies is for you! This one has it all... great action scenes, a solid action plot, great acting mixed in with some truly funny awkward moments. The only folks who won't like this flick are those who don't like action flicks or don't like action flicks with Republican California Governors in them! Arnold Rocks!

    Arnold comes through with another killer flick. Tom Arnold is funny as well as Jamie Lee Curtis. It's a good movie with outstanding action scenes. Highly recommended !

    Bad Actor, Worse Govenor

    This is just one mindless tale with few redeaming qualities. Good for killing two hours when you have nothing else to do
