ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

John Doe This is the third Arnie movie I didn't like, bu that's ok, he has some good and bad, the story is long and dull but the acting is good. I just didn't like this film.I give True Lies a 3/10

Osmosis Iron This is among the best movies that mix completely badass action scenes with hilarious comedy and don't compromise. Usually it is either action first and comedy second or vice versa, but in this it really is both in equal parts and it's all the better for it! Loved it as a kid, and probably always will! Awesome :)

a_chinn Probably James Cameron's weakest film (I'm not counting "Piranha Part Two: The Spawning"), but considering his other films are "Terminator 1 & 2," "Aliens," "The Abyss" "Titanic," and "Avatar" that's a fairly high bar (the JC best to worst (or least- best) rank order goes Terminator, Aliens, T2, Abyss, Avatar, Titanic, True Lies). Arnold plays a super spy, but his family, wife Jamie Lee Curtis and daughter Eliza Dushku, have no idea and think he's a dull salesman (never mind how Arnold could ever be considered ordinary). Curtis is left a neglected and bored wife who begins seeing lecherous used car salesmen Bill Paxton, pretending to be a spy in order to seduce Curtis, and from there Arnold's life as a spy trying to stop a group of international terrorists from getting a nuclear warhead begins to cross over with his family life. I remember liking this film when it first came out and enjoyed the mix of comedy and action, but watching it as a married 45-year old adult, I realized this film at it's core is about keeping the romance and excitement alive in a marriage after kids and career start to take hold during middle age. The action is good, but is done with a comedic lighter touch and is nowhere as good or as suspenseful as Cameron's best films, which is a bit disappointing. The humor is okay, but not all that funny. However, the cast is extremely likable, led by Arnold and Curtis, but Tom Arnold is also excellent as Arnold's spy partner (Arnold is an underrated comic actor who deserves more respect), as is Bill Paxton. I remember there being some controversy and accusations of misogyny over Arnold's manipulation of wife when he locks her up and makes her do her infamous striptease. There is still an unpleasant creep factor to those scenes, but it's not enough to ruin the overall film. "True Lies" is not a boundary pushing of film like most all of Cameron's other films. This could just as easily have been an Ivan Reitman comedy, but Cameron is a solid filmmaker and delivers a solid film. On a side note, Charlton Heston shows up for a couple scenes as Spencer Trilby, the head of Arnold's super secret spy agency, sporting an eye patch that makes him look exactly like the comic book version of Nick Fury. He totally should have played the cinematic version of Fury if there was still alive today!

richspenc Not a true lie is that this movie is great. Arnie and Arnold, a win win situation. Tom and Schwartz are another styled version of the cop buddy genre. Although they're not technically cops, they're CIA spies, they are still tough buddy and funny buddy going after the bad guys trying to bring back justice. Tia Carrie, Wayne's hottie girlfriend , is here as a sultry sexy assistant to the most dangerous Middle Eastern terrorist group led by "The sand spider", who runs this particularly psychotic terrorist group cause the other terrorist groups (according to Tom) were a little too warm and fuzzy for his taste. Tia , as a very convincing fem fa tel, enjoys working for these psychos because they're 'very well funded psychos. Arnie first meets her at the classic posh Switzerland dance hall dancing to the well known classical tune. We can already guess that their meet ups will continue over back in the states. The very best scenes in this movie are: The dance hall with Arnie and Tia, the posh hotel and horse/ motorcycle chase with the sand spider, the middle section with Arnie's wife Janie Lee Curtis cheating to be with used car salesman Bill Paxton who's pretending to be both a spy and the ultimate ladies's man (both things he turns out not to be too good at), the set up and interrogation room with Jamie and Arnie on the other side (with Jamie not knowing it's Arnie due to the electronic disguising of his voice ("sex with your husband is hardly waving your flag anymore is it?")(hilarious), the big shoot em up fight scenes on one of the Keys with the terrorists, and my favorite, the hotel scene with Jamie pretending to be a hooker (due to her confessing in the interrogation room to wanting wild adventures).What I really liked was the humor and wit mixed with the action. It's like the Lethal weapon movies where it's not just dry action, you got spice mixed in with it too. Tom provided some hilarious comments first, after seeing Arnie's 14 year old daughter steal cash from his coat with his new spy X-ray glasses. Tom: "you're out gunned Daddio. Axel Rose and Maddona, those are your daughter's generation's heros ". Then after Arnie finds out Jamie is cheating on him, Tom: "welcome to the club. No one thinks that it can happen to them the first time. When my wife left me, she took the ice cube trays out of the freezer. What kind of sick twisted bitch would take the ice cube trays out of the freezer!? " There are many other great lines of dialogue and not nearly enough room to write them. I like trick visuals too such as Arnie and car salesman Bill in the car, Arnie listening to Bill talk about how hot his wife is without him knowing he's the husband (the boring jerk), and there's a quick visual of Arnie busting Bill's nose and gushing blood, but it's Arnie's imaginary flash. I like how he and Tom really get even with him a short while later while standing with him over that dam. Oh, and Jamie's hotel scene. She looked hot. In the hallway when she rips off part of her dress, slicks her hair back and touches up her breasts. Wow. And the strip tease in the hotel room. Wow. Jamie had a way off looking so hot when she was younger. First in "Trading places" with a couple of topless shots with Dan Aykroyd, and then in this movie.
