Review of True Lies (1994) by Steven1981 — 20 Mar 2020
James Cameron director of Aliens and The Terminator now makes a film called True Lies.... True Lies is a 1994 action thriller with parts of comedy thrown in to make it seem more enjoyable. Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is married to Helen Tasker (Jamie Lee Curtis) and she thinks he's in a construction business or something lol.
She has no idea he's a secret agent or a spy but when Bill Paxton gets involved with Helen Tasker (Curtis) her husband suspects he maybe sleeping with her or something stupid and becomes a hurt and jealous man.
So Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnold who plays Arnie's secret service buddy kidnap Bill Paxton to understand what's going on and Jamie Lee Curtis who plays Helen Tasker is asked to work for her husband's company but doesn't still know her hubby works there.
Meanwhile Harry Tasker is trying to track down some dangerous terrorist and stop him and eventually Harry (Schwarzenegger) and his wife team up for the same job and try to stop the badguys and this so called terrorist.
Best scene in this movie for me is not any of the action scenes but Jamie Lee Curtis stripping down to her underwear (bra, panties and heels) and doing a sexy, hot dance and giving us some nice moves and eye candy.
Bill Paxton is great in this movie and hilarious, the action scenes are okay some of them but Arnie on a horse chasing a terrorist on a motorbike is incredibly stupid and ridiculous. The action scenes mostly are well done but this movie is bad because the film drags too much and seems a snoozefest at times.
Some of the action is stupid also and Arnie's acting isn't great but the tango dances are lovely. Not the best film but watch it only for Bill Paxton and Jamie Lee Curtis otherwise avoid.
