Many people protested against this film. They said it was sexist in nature. However, I still cannot see where they’re coming from. True Lies is a great thrill-ride of a film. James Cameron gives us such a bombardment of comedy with his patented style of action that it’s hard not to love this film.
I’ll be willing to bet that co-stars, Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold hold this film as their finest moment. They should. Tom Arnold is at his best as Harry Tasker’s comedy sidekick. Jamie is perfect in this comical and yet, very real, very dramatic role as the wife of this secret super agent, Tasker (Arnold Schwartzenegger). When she drops that Uzi down the stairs, that’s movie magic if I’ve ever seen it. It’s hard to believe. It’s hard not to love.
Truly a comedy masterpiece with just the right amount of action to keep the adrenaline going.
One of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard in a review of this film is that it may be too much of a good thing. How can you possibly have too much of a good thing??
