After the nuclear fall-out of Last Action Hero, Ah-nuld needed a hit. Thankfully, James Cameron came to the rescue. Having worked together on The Terminator films, third time really is the charm. The film is both exciting and funny. It has just as much laughs as action bits.
To his wife Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and daughter (Eliza Dushku), Harry Tasker (Arnie) is a boring computer salesman. Nothing could be further from the truth. He works for the Omega Force, a super-duper spy agency. His buddy at the office is Gibson (None other than Tom Arnold). Harry never has time for his family, and this leads into a hilarious sub-plot involving Simon (Bill Paxton), a supposed secret agent that Helen is secretly seeing. The real meat of the plot has to do with Harry and company tracking down Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik), a pretty evil terrorist known as "The Sand Spider" (Why is he called that ? probably because it sounds scary).
Lasting over two hours, True Lies manages to be entertaining for much of it's length. Arnold plays his usual hero: invincible superman who can't get hurt. Tia Carrere plays Juno Skinner, a femme fatale helping the terrorists for no other reason than money. The sequence with Harry in the harrier jet are spectacularly done.
Rating: *** (out of ****)
