Review of True Lies (1994) by C R — 26 Jul 2009

True Lies is a great movie. Director James Cameron, who made the first to Terminator movies obviouslly has a career with Arnold Schwarzenegger so he obviouslly wanted to make another movie with him. This in fact became the action comedy "True Lies". This movie is succesfull in many ways. It's funny, clever, and the action is awesome.

From an acting standpoint the film is fine. Everyone in the movie did a good job including Schwarzenegger. Jamie Lee Curtis did a good job of at first being a naive wife, and then being thrown into a anti-terrorism action plot. It's hilarious from beginning to end.

The cinematography in this movie is both entertaining and intriguing. James Cameron is a very talented director, and it's obvious that camera work wise, he works very hard in his films. This movie is no exception. Camera work during shootouts is great, and scenes like when Arnie is swimming under water are shot beautifully. No dissapointment here.

The music in this movie is not dissapointing either. Returning to this film is Brad Fiedel who did the musical score for the first two terminator films. The soundtrack to True Lies isn't anything special, but it helps quench our thirst for excitement.

So overall, this movie is definitly worth the watch. It's hilarious, it's action packed, and the movie is entertaining over and over again. Definitly worth the by. "What can I say?......I'm a spy.......".
