True Lies Reviews
Funnnyy
Funny movie. The truth behind many lies lie in the heart of relationships. It is so confusing sometimes and even THAT IS A LIE. I hope the movie will open your eyes top the truth. I WANT THE TRUTH But... can you HANDLE THE TRUTH ??
Harry Tasker would kill James Bond
The plot of "True Lies" is not all that unbelievable - Muslim fanatics want to use a nuclear weapon on American soil. It's especially true in today's world, where a good portion of the Middle East, and religious fanatics within that area, want to kill anyone from a Western culture. It's up to Arnold Schwarz and a funny sidekick, Tom Arnold, to save the day.
Aside from being a mountain of a man, and having one of the most unique accents ever, Arnold Schwarz could actually be a top secret operative. Although, his size and accent would make it so that he would have very few missions, because sooner or later everyone would start to recognize him. However, the ones he was on, he would totally destroy everything. I'm sure of that.
True Lies starts off with Arnold at his best; he's a spy at a fancy ball, dressed in a tux and there for spy business. It's only a matter of time before the bad guys are on his heels, and he has to distract them with a tango. Yes, a tango. Arnold grabs Tia Carerre by the arm, does the most rigid, non-sexual, unappealing tango ever, and absolutely fools the people looking for him. Somehow this is possible, except for the fact that he was probably the only 6'5", 250lb, body builder from Austria in the room.
After the dance, Arnold makes his way out of the party by doing typical Arnold stuff: he blows up buildings, shoots everyone in sight, and escapes in the nick of time. It's actually one of my favorite scenes because it reminds me of the totally ridiculous carnage in Commando, where Arnold is deadly with every bullet fired from his pistol, but the men firing back with automatic weapons are spraying wildly around him.
Things I learned that Arnold the spy can do: smash a car window with a backhand, fly a fighter jet, speak several languages, ride a horse, park a car like a stunt driver, fight with all his wits while under heavy sedation, and tear the hell out of a public restroom.
The movie evolves as typical spy movies do; there is a ton of fighting, a few story loops, a one or two crazy chase scenes, classic (cheesy) lines from Arnold as he dispatches villains, and more bullets fired than at the Source Awards. And just like nearly all other movies of this genre, the good guys undertake an epic battle/task, eventually win, get the girl, and save the Earth. It's exactly what I expected, and exactly what I received.
It's a great movie. Be on the lookout for Jane Fonda dancing as you've never seen her, Chet playing a hilarious role as the biggest loser in the world, and an appearance by Eliza Dushku in her early years.
