"True Lies" is a thrilling and comical action movie starring
Arnold Swarzennegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Tom Arnold.
The premise is rather foolish - despite being married for
many years, Harry Tasker's (Arnold Swarzennegger) wife Helen
(Jamie Lee Curtis) doesn't know he's an international spy.
No, he has her convinced he's a sales rep for a computer company,
and goes out of his way to be as boring as possible. Lately
he's been busy with a new case and his wife is getting lonely
so she starts meeting a mysterious man for lunch. He claims
to be a spy, and the danger and excitement attract her - little
does she know it's a lie, and her own husband is in that line
of work! Of course Harry becomes jealous when he finds out,
and even has his wife kidnapped so she can be questioned!
Meanwhile he has to keep working on his case, and his whole
family may be endangered.
Some of the stunts are really unbelievable - like a horse
riding an elevator and jumping from roof to roof. But Swarzennegger's
acting is persuasive, and the other actors are agreeable as
well. The plot definitely holds your attention and the special
effects are marvelous.
