True Lies : Le Caméléon

great

High octane comedy, action, archetypes and tropes. Lots of fun. Well written, directed and the lighting is of note. Great performances from all. A match for Arnie's acting limits and a perfect comedy vehicle for the others, particularly Jamie Lee Curtis. My only gripe would be the overt focus on the evil Arabs. Well they threw is an evil Asian too to I guess they are trying to forge user friendly race stereotyping. The pace, comedy, entertainment and neat VFX are outstanding. The Harrier Jet sequence looks spectacular and realistic. Well done Team!

Arnold Schwarzenegger successfully invades Sean Connery territory as Harry Tasker, an ace spy for the U.S. in the monster hit "True Lies." Harry seems pretty content in posing as a boring computer salesman to hide his real identity away from his sweet (and damn hot!) wife Helen (the excellent Jamie Lee Curtis), but after a horny used car salesman named Simon (the gleefully hilarious Bill Paxton) cons Helen for his sexual advances, Harry shows his wife the taste of the real deal, taking on a few megalo-maniacal Arab terrorists bent on nuclear destruction. This has to be my favorite Arnold film. It has every trademark effect his movie should have: lots of gunplay, explosions, one-liners, and humor. Schwarzenegger walks away with this action flick, leaving no stone unturned, or blown up, I

I actually liked the movie! If you know what to expect, this film really delivers. Pure entertainment, what you need for a relaxing evening in front of the video. In the end the scenes with the fighter aircraft are so improbable and unrealistic you can't help laughing! But you still enjoy the overall result. Great job by Arnie and Jamie. A definite suggestion.

This movie is set apart from other Schwarzenegger action movies thanks to James Cameron's excellent direction, the humor and Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger's hilarious chemestry. The action is insane. Early on in the movie, there's an incredible horseback chase that may or may not have inspired a similar chase in John Wick 3.

Can't unsee that I saw Malcolm in the Middle's mom in a bikini. On a serious note, True Lies doesn't hesitate to poke fun at the genre and Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers a stellar performance. This movie serves as an instant classic for the era. 4.5/5.

True Lies (1994) *** (out of 4) Highly entertaining action film about a secret agent (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and terrorists. It's been quite a few years since I last watched this film but it hasn't lost any of its major. Arnold is great in one of his best roles and Tom Arnold really adds terrific support and comedy. Jamie Lee Curtis shows off a nice body as well as some nice comic touches. The action scenes are all terrific but my favorite is probably the battle in the bathroom. The motorcycle/horse scene is another great one. I think the whole subplot with Bill Paxton is terrific and makes for some of the best laughs in the film. Charlton Heston has a fine cameo as well.

True Lies (1994) This is a straight up 90s action flick directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The supporting cast includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, Tia Carrere, Bill Paxton, Eliza Dushku, and Charlton Heston. The film follows a U.S. government agent, who balances his life as a spy with his familial obligations. This is Schwarzenegger in his prime. With Cameron at the director's chair, you get all the action and cinematic glory you would expect. This is a fine example of classic American action.

This movie left me on the edge of my seat! Very cool. Lots of great violence! I had to keep rewinding scenes and watching them again because they were so cool. In one scene a man is just about to torture Arnold but then Arnold grabs him in a head lock, picks up a metal spike, throws it at a guard, which goes into the guards eye, then he harshly snaps the guys neck he's holding. Arnold then grabs a crow-bar, runs up to another guard and shoves the hooked end into the guys stomach. Another awesome scene is when Arnold gets a hold of two Uzzies. He just walks around for a long time, all big and tough, while pumping guys full of lead. The special effects in this movie are very realistic (such as people getting shot, necks getting snapped, spikes going in eyes, Arnold beating a guys face against a urinal). Long movie, but it couldn't be shorter. If you like to see Arnold slaughtering people, like I do, then go see this as soon as possible.
