| DVD Description From The Terminator to Titanic, you can always rely on writer-director James Cameron to show you something you've never seen on the big screen before. The guy may not consistently pen the most scintillating dialogue in the world (and, especially in this movie, he doesn't seem to have a particularly high regard for women), but as a director of kinetic, push-the-envelope action sequences, he is in a class by himself. In True Lies, the highlight is a breathtaking third-act jet and car chase through the Florida Keys. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a covert intelligence agent whose wife of 15 years (Jamie Lee Curtis) finally finds out that he's not really a computer salesman and who becomes mixed up in a case involving nuclear arms smuggling. Tom Arnold is surprisingly funny and engaging as Schwarzenegger's longtime spy partner, and Bill Paxton is a smarmy used-car salesman (is that redundant?) whom Arnold thinks is having an affair with his wife. Purely in terms of spectacular action and high-tech hardware, True Lies is a blast. --Jim Emerson |

Very good This was purchased as a gift for my 17-yr. old grandson & he thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I've seen it as well & it was a great movie.
Action A grersat story of what could be happening in everyday life that is unknown. Then falls apart and only Arnold Schwarzenegger could pull off.
True Lies SPECIAL EDITION! PLEASE! True Lies needs a special collector's edition for us "diehard" fans. I want to see a retrospective documentary. What does Jamie, Tom, Arnie or even Bill think about being in this odd cult classic? How does James Cameron feel when he looks back on his True Lies experience?
Does anyone know that the idea to make this came from Arnold? Yeah, Arnold and Jim were sitting at breakfast. Cameron asked him what he wanted do next. And Arnold replied that he had just seen a French film, and thought the lead would be a great role for him. Cameron was interested right away, because this was the first time Arnie wanted to do a picture because of the character. Arnold also didn't like the idea of Jamie being his leading lady at first. Thank God Cameron eventually convinced him otherwise.
This is a great, fun classic film in the same league as oh, say, Raiders of the Lost Ark. It deserves a special edition with retrospective interviews and such. Not to say that some other Cameron film releases - certain ones about giant boats doesn't need a retrospective documentary. I mean, what the heck, they give us millions of documentaries for T2, but not for True Lies or Titanic?? |
