True Lies

Action or comedy? Take your pick. TRUE LIES has both. Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger) leads a double life, with his wife (Curtis) and daughter (Dushku) thinking he is just some boring sales rep when he is actually performing covert missions for the U.S government under a counter-terrorism task force. Jamie Lee Curtis has a steamy striptease that'll make your eyes widen, but Cameron knows not to corrupt the film's tone by crossing the line that separates sexy and erotic; and Tia Carrere is just… well… hot. Non-stop action and non-stop laughs. Everything works so well in this outing. Extended remake of the 1991 French film LA TOTALE! Most expensive film ever made at the time of its release, and is the first film to have over a $100 million production budget. Tom Arnold (who almost didn't get the part) makes the movie worth seeing; and let's not forget Bill Paxton's performance as… well… just watch… it's worth it. It's almost sad to watch the movie now, as it takes you back to a time where we could afford to feel comfortable about taking terrorism lightly.
