Review of True Lies

True Lies (1994)
Splendid Collaboration between Scwarzenegger and Cameron
6 April 2000
True Lies(1994) was one of the best and most exciting motion pictures of 1994. It blends action sequences with some spy intrique. The film is Schwarzengger's most complete action film and his best role of his career. Jamie Lee Curtis and Tia Carrere do a terrific job as the heroine and femme fatal respectively. True Lies(1994) is an action flick with a sense of humor.

Tom Arnold contributes to the movie with his off beat antics as he is the Ying while the other Arnold is the Yang. there are a few reasons why I enjoyed watching movie. First, the action sequences were breath taking and well executed. Second, the funny one liners of Arnold Schwarzengger. Third, the lap dance performed by Jamie Lee Curtis in the hotel room.

True Lies(1994) is better then the average big budget action blockbuster feature. True lies(1994) along with the Ipcress Files are the best of the James Bond inspired movies. In fact, I consider the movie to be superior to the last few Bond films because it feels fresh while the Bond movies are repeats of the early films in the series. True Lies(1994), and Aliens(1986) are my favorite James Cameron motion pictures. James Cameron is the David Lean of Action/Scifi feature films.
