jacktorranceoverlook-03366 I love the story line! Very good and balanced mix of fun, jokes and action! Very good effects for its time!

dandare4479 True Lies I was lucky enough to see in the cinema back in 1994 and it is still one of the films I enjoyed the most on the big screen for spectacular action scenes. The film is a masterclass in directing high octane action scenes. The viewer can always see exactly what is happening in a James Cameron film when the action kicks in. The bridge chase being a stand out scene, including the amazing stunt done by Jamie Lee Curtis, whom is brilliant in this film, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger and Cameron work well together and produce great films. This film blends the action with comedy. Special mention to the late great Bill Paxton who is hilarious in his role here. Still awaiting a Blu-ray release for this one, hopefully it will come out soon, as it truly deserves it. Highly recommended for action fans.

Thomas Drufke Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron have been such an efficient Hollywood duo for so many years. Sure, they aren't DeNiro/Scorcese or Dicaprio/Scorcese in terms of the Oscar caliber performances, but they have been or I should say were a prolific couple in terms of making purely enjoyable action flicks. And there's perhaps no one better at action than The Terminator himself Arnold Schwarzenegger. True Lies is at its surface a pretty goofy action comedy, but there's more depth to it than at first glance. Arnold is at the top of his game and Jamie Lee Curtis gives a surprisingly gripping performance.I knew the film had a comedic side, but I guess I didn't realize that it's more Fast and Furious than it is Mission: Impossible. But lets make something clear here, this film's premise works way better with the comedy than it would without. With that being said, I don't think some of the leaps the film made in terms of Curtis' arc were needed. She's definitely a beautiful woman, but in the long scheme of things was the dancing sequence really necessary? Plot wise it just didn't add up why Harry would go about revealing himself in that way. I also thought the second half of the film took a bit of a step back with the lack of Tom Arnold's comedic relief. It took a few scenes to get used to his comedy but when his jokes hit, they hit hard. In many ways his performance carried the first half of the film.In addition to this film being very funny, the action is spectacular for 1994. The film's look is very late 90's and early 2000's so I can see where someone may think it looks dated. But the special effects and action choreography were way ahead of its time. But that's nothing new with James Cameron. It was also funny to see Bill Paxton show up and have fun in his short role, another one of Cameron's frequent collaborators. Charlton Heston's glorified cameo was a nice touch, but there wasn't much closure on his side of things. And finally Brad Fiedel's score was also a pleasant surprise as he did both Terminator films with Cameron. So in all, True Lies is a blast of an action film that tends to get too unrealistic at times, but the performances of Arnold and Curtis make it an unforgettable 90's action comedy, and lets be clear, Cameron is the real hero here.+Special effects +Arnold's having fun +Curtis' coming out party +Tom Arnold -Too goofy at times 8.1/10
