Amazon.com essential video:From
The Terminator to
Titanic, you can always rely on writer-director James Cameron to show you something you've never seen on the big screen before. The guy may not consistently pen the most scintillating dialogue in the world (and, especially in this movie, he doesn't seem to have a particularly high regard for women), but as a director of kinetic, push-the-envelope action sequences, he is in a class by himself. In
True Lies, the highlight is a breathtaking third-act jet and car chase through the Florida Keys. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a covert intelligence agent whose wife of 15 years (Jamie Lee Curtis) finally finds out that he's not really a computer salesman and who becomes mixed up in a case involving nuclear arms smuggling. Tom Arnold is surprisingly funny and engaging as Schwarzenegger's longtime spy partner, and Bill Paxton is a smarmy used-car salesman (is that redundant?) whom Arnold thinks is having an affair with his wife. Purely in terms of spectacular action and high-tech hardware,
True Lies is a blast.

gun factories ...

Marital problems plague an international spy who works for Omega Sector, a top-secret government agency charged with the intervention of nuclear terrorism. This movie is a great comedical movie with great action sequence's. The actors are fantasic and play each role beautifully.

This is a good movie. Don't get me wrong. It is deserving of no awards, but it is very entertaining with great action and lots of humor. Widescreen presentation here is terrible. The hard coding of the black bars at the edges do not allow for proper wide screen TV and Blu-Ray player up conversion. The onscreen image in ½ the size it should be.... Wait for the Blu-Ray.

This movie has it all...and then some!
I appreciate humor mixed with action, and this movie does so perfectly. A.Swngr plays his part semalessly, and we can almost believe that the Adonis in the three-piece-suit is a computer salesman and NOT a secret government agent. And I suspend disbelief that his wife does NOT gape and wonder at his amazing physique every morning as they get ready for work. My point? The movie does well to make us believe what it wants us to believe.
