Woman marries man with an inexplicably thick Austrian accent named Harry Tasker. Doesn't realize he's a spy.

It's a fun action movie that serves to lovingly make fun of it's own genre. Expect lots of people to get shot, lots of stuff to blow up, Arnold to be tough and Jamie Lee Curtis to be hot and you won't be disappointed. Unless, of course, that doesn't sound like the movie for you because then you'll be disappointed no matter what.

Fun action movie starring Arnie and Jamie Lee Curtis' boobs. The scene where the two leads share an intimate moment whilst a nuke goes off in the background basically sums up the film. Hell yeah.

Could've been great instead of ok. I'm not really sure what went wrong: the acting, effects and direction are ok. I guess the real problem is in the casting. Maybe instead of Schwarzenegger we had Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is his wife, who's also a secret agent, and they don't know that they're spying on each other so they end up in a a big fight at the end. And maybe their name is something like "Smith". And maybe we'd call it "Mr Smith goes to Washington". Yeah, now that would be a movie.

One of Arnold Schwarzenegger's best action films. It works as spy film, a romance, an action film, and a comedy. James Cameron brilliantly seemed bent on making the end-all flick of action movies, reaching so far over-the-top in every new scene that it seems like an impossible feat to compete with it. Even by today's standards, the audacity of it hasn't been recaptured. Instead, audiences currently get screwy, cut-and-paste editing replacing memorable gargantuan set pieces.

There are some fun action bits, but it's all brought down by stupid, chauvinistic, clichéd, overblown characters and dialogue. Schwarzenegger's gaudy machismo is channeled much better in other films; here, it's just repugnant. Jamie Lee Curtis isn't much better, though one can empathize with her oblivious frustration with her marriage to her mysteriously buff computer salesman husband, aka dishonest pig of an undeserving asshole. Lame, lame, lame.

One thing Cameron does really poorly is hide stunt doubles, and upon review, this is particularly distracting. But hey, it was the blockbuster 90s, filled with Arnold's unmistakable accent slash acting, ehm, 'acting', some Arab country's worth of terrorist threats and over-the-top action sequences pierced with situational comedy. Silly, sure, but never short of entertaining.

Why everyone keeps climbing, running or driving UP to the TOP? That attribute makes the movie campy and silly. I mean, what kind of idiot drives his motorscyle into skayscraper to run away? Or again, what kind of idiot tries to climb a moving helicopter instead of simply put aside a dead man to stop the car?

This is a film that ends with a man urinating on himself during a ballroom scene. The rest of it is schlocky action (the first 20 minutes almost resembling Bond-like camp) bookending a weak affair sub-plot that dies completely during the interrogation sequence. Hang around for the single Arnold one liner though, probably worth it. A comedy usually needs a mark, keeping in the spy theme, & this one manages to target every modern nation built on what was the Persian empire and women in general.

True Lies is Arnold Schwarzenegger's last great action film and his third collaboration with Director James Cameron has it all. Great set pieces, impressive visuals, good humour, fun characters and most importantly it's action packed. Arnold Schwarzenegger is on top form and the supporting cast features great performances from Jamie Lee Curtis, Bill Paxton and Tom Arnold. True Lies is completely over the top, but it never takes itself too seriously and it's thoroughly enjoyable and re-watchable.

GET DOWN! ... with this awesome action flick! Arnold has a pretty good time taking terrorists down a peg and also being really funny. This is one of those action films from the 90's that stick with you. The humor throughout is great, it really ramps up when Bill Paxton hits the scene as the sleazy used-car salesman who pretends to be a spy to get chicks...

T.L was, and remains, an entertaining but ultimately disappointing film for Arnie and Cameron who made serious waves with the innovative T2 three years earlier that pushed blockbusters to a whole new level of technical sophistication. Comparatively speaking, T.L is a lightweight affair that plays more like an elaborately produced goof. Cameron doesn't have a gift for comedy--only Tom Arnold and Curtis are convincingly funny--but he knows action, and T.L delivers on that front, if nothing else.

Even though some of the humor is about as dated as Tom Arnold's appeal as a comedian, this is still an Arnie semi-classic. Fun set pieces, great pacing, a 45 minute subplot with a priceless Bill Paxton and the occasional hilariously inept Schwarzenegger delivery make it a win. I'd really like for Cameron to return from Pandora soon and whip up some more nineties style action cheese.

Cameron is a great director and Schwarzenegger movies are almost always fun. That being said, this movie has not aged well at all. Don't rewatch it.

feels like a script written by a first time writer, which is odd, because whilst Cameron isn't a masterful writer, he is typically a very efficient one. the movie takes 80 minutes to establish its premise, and then spends the last hour wasting it. this would be better if the movie were actually funny, but it isn't. I also don't consider it particularly romantic, but I'm not the guy who has been married five times.

As a kid, I first saw this at my dad's house and loved it. So, at my mom's, I told her we should rent it. However, my little brain seemed to completely forget about the Jamie Lee Curtis stripping scene, and it was an incredibly awkward viewing for those few minutes. Jamie Lee Curtis gives a great comedic performance, even if the plot becomes "let's make her think she has to cheat on Arnie". However, it also has Arnie riding a horse, so this is a film of contradictions -- true lies, if you will.

Shockingly goofy entry for Cameron, often held aloft no doubt by its third act which features characteristic "how the hell did you do that" setpieces. But the politics don't hold up anymore and some of the views on marriage feel a bit prejudicial in the hands of Mr. Three Divorces (four since this film came out). Still, this is Schwarzenegger in top form. I'm not sure he'll ever get a better chance to prove why he was such a box office draw.

True Lies é genial. Cameron abusa dos clichês clássicos da melhor forma, fazendo do filme uma paródia de si mesmo. As sequências de ação, repletas de absurdos, nunca deixam o expectador na mão, e só evoluem com o decorrer da projeção, de modo a coroar True Lies, numa cena envolvendo um caça de guerra e terroristas maus, como o maior petardo do gênero de todos os tempos. Muita ação e comédia. Jamie Lee Curtis faz de sua atuação algo surpreendente e inesperada, porém, um pouco exagerada em alguns

I really like this movie (and not just because I was on the seven miile bridge coming back from Key West when they were filming the scene where they blow it up - got free hot dogs and pepsi and bumper stickers) Once again, Arnold in a comedy - very cool.Tom Arnold is actually funny!?! And then as Nick Fury (sort of) is Charlton Heston - WOW!

Arnold Carries the day but his two co-stars definitely do not. It looks like all 3 of them had fun making the film, but the tongue-in-cheek attitude comes across as if we're interfering with their good time by asking them to get on with making a film. (See also "Ocean's 11")

Film's offensive and she's a hermaphrodite. That might seem harsh and insensitive (although she really isn't very attractive at all even as a woman) but I feel the need to return the favor as watching this felt like being insulted. And quite apart from Jamie-Lee, the film is just grotesque. The action is dull and ridiculous, the jokes are flat, creepy or racist, and the whole thing is way overlong.
