Great no brain entertainment - True Lies review by JD

Spoiler Alert
12/09/2022

Probably more a 3.5 out of 5 than a 4, but rounding up as this is a thoroughly enjoyable film.

Its full of humour, and refreshingly a lot of it would see this film banned today. Arnies character is for the most part playing it straight which as my GF pointed out at the end seemed like some political undertones - the film is about our heros stopping the nasty middle eastern terrorists. However, the terrorists reason is 'to stop the bombing of there women and children' and i dont believe the terrorists kill a single person in the whole film - where Arnie leaves nothing but destruction behind!

Its all convincingly played and being a cameron job the visuals hold up well today. The Harrier scenes are for the most part utterly fantastic and in typical Cameron style its all done with enough detail to keep even a plane nerd like me failing to find much fault.

The cast is great to.

This might not be Camerons best work by a long way, but is better than most similar modern films of the type.

SEXIST SEX FARCE - True Lies review by Frank TALKER™

Spoiler Alert
20/10/2018

The sexism and racism really sinks this movie and makes it just about average for a Hollywood blockbuster.

The French do sex comedies so much better than anglophones; with much greater insight into the stresses and strains of married life than shown in this remake of the movie Le Totale. The sexual humor is orificial and schoolboyish with no sense that sex for American Caucasians is any more than a hard penis regularly-inserted into a semi-willing vagina.

Only Jamie Lee CURTIS' knowing, funny, sexy, superb performance hints at what a terrific movie this could have been given a less superficial screenplay.
