In my humble opinion, this is one of the best movies Schwarzenegger ever made. I never cared much for Bill Paxton's acting, so I enjoyed seeing him in this sniveling role. Eliza Dushku had a small part, but she played it excellently! This is one of those heart-warming movies that stays in your mind for years after you watch it.

This was a fun, big-budget movie with lots of high-dollar special effects. The entire film from start to finish is action packed, with lots of explosions and even real Harrier Jets! Secret agent Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger) lives a double life. A top notch spy "fixer" for Uncle Sam on the one hand, and a dull, traveling, computer salesman to his wife and family. His wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) is bored with him and their lifestyle and has an affair with a guy who pretends to be a spy. Harry catches her with a "granny-cam" and decides to pay her back by giving her a real lesson in the spy game. Of course, it all backfires when a group of terrorists kidnaps both of them, and they wind up in the middle of a terrorist plot to start WW-III. Now Harry and his partner, Gib (Tom Arnold), have to work to stop these guys when they get their hands on stolen nuclear weapons, and threaten to blow up Miami. This film is loaded with great stunts and special effects. Charlton Heston makes a cameo as Harry's boss, the head of the super-secret anti-terrorism faction. This is almost like a James Bond movie, with so much action that it almost becomes overwhelming. In the end Harry steals a Harrier Jet to go after the terrorists, and Helen remarkably transforms from the cute housewife to the sexy super-spy contractor.Read full review
PLOT: BORING Harry Tasker (Arnold) is a computer salesman who is happily married to Helen~(Jamie Lee Curtis) BUT Harry is really a spy and has lied to everyone~ BUT why is Helen suddenly telling some LIES of her own? WHAT A FUN ADVENTURE~ Harry has it all a GREAT "cover" for his spying activities as the boring "computer salesman" why he puts his WIFE to sleep with his stories~ suddenly he learns HELEN is tell "lies" of her own and he suspects she is having an AFFAIR....suddenly Harry is wildly jealous and the fun begins with the man Helen is sneaking around with a SLEAZY liar trying to fake her into being a fake spy so he can have an affair with her~ Helen is clueless.... the part where Arnie and the CIA tracks down Helen and the "fake" spy is hilarious~ so Harry decides to GIVE HELEN (CURTIS) SOME REAL LESSONS in spying~ meanwhile~ they are both KIDNAPPED BY REAL TERRORISTS~ CONFUSED...sure~ that is the fun of all the "lies" they suddenly ADD up~ Arnold and Curtis shine when they "team" up to escape the terroristS and defuse some bombs~ the thrills are there from frame one to the end~ great chase scene with a helicopter and a limousine on a high way with AN INCOMPLETE BRIDGE~ THE SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKE YOU GASP AND the humor is there.

This is one of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger films, and as an added bonus it also has Jamie Lee Curtis! Yeah, there is a lot of fluff - he is a spy and she thinks he is a vacuum cleaner salesman. In an attempt to add excitement to her life, Jamie Lee gets involved with a car salesman claiming to be a spy. This attracts Arnold's attention and ultimately brings her into his real life. There is a great scene in a hotel room with Arnold and Jamie Lee which is somewhat of a pivotal point, because this is where the terrorists truly enter the picture. Then there are guns and bombs (including atomic weapons), kidnappings, Arnold’s sometimes subtle sense of humor, rescues and The Tango. The film also stars Tom Arnold in what I think is one of his best performances on film. I am not sure why this was never made available on BluRay. It is an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours!Read full review

True Lies Crazy story, an amazing cast, and superb direction makes True Lies one of the best Arnie films of all time. Arnold, Jamie Lee, Bill Paxton, and Tom Arnold round out a prefect cast. True Lies is one of the funniest action films ever made. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: This film is definitely worth buying, it's great action that doesn't take itself too seriously, and you'll laugh every single time you watch it. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
