| Description: | When a secret agent learns of his wife's extra-marital affair, he pursues her and uses his intelligence resources in a job he kept secret from her. | Comments: | Arnold Schwarzenegger (Harry Tasker) is a super spy character who works for (eye-patched Charlton Heston..) Omega Force.. and tracks down international terrorists.. His marvelous wife Helen nor their teenage daughter Dana (Eliza Dushku) know anything about it.. Helen thinks he's rather a dull computer salesman.. Things go rough when Harrie begins to suspect that his wife (a very conservative secretary..) maybe is having an affair with a man pretending to be a spy.. so he immediately brings all the resources of his department to find out what is really going on.. In addition, Harry is focusing on a Middle Eastern terrorist group called the Crimson Jihad who terrorizes the United States with nuclear weapons.. In my mind (and I'll bet the rest of you will feel the same as well), Schwarzenegger has enough physical bravado for the job (best example: his scene holding Curtis from the moving helicopter..) He does a credible 007-like character.. especially out, in & around an ultra exclusive Swiss chateau.. and his hot tango with (stylized poses & romantic tight holds..) Asian beauty Tia Carrere.. establishes Harry's grace & charm.. Jamie Lee Curtis shows ( she is indeed a sweet delight in the way she moves..) the attractive star still has a good figure.. Her arousing striptease is hilarious & sexy.. Tom Arnold (Albert Gibson) does all of the background work (in �the van') while his partner Harry �saves the world..' in killing bad guys.. Around the whole movie Tom Arnold coins phrases like "Women. Can't live with Em. Can't kill Em!" or `Welcome to the Club!'.. Tia Carrere brings a (deadly Juno Skinner) sensuous style as the wild, hot-blooded psycho-seductress.. driven by powerful ambitions.. Bill Paxton becomes funnier as we get to know him.. He feels lucky as Helen's enigmatic suitor.. convincing the na�ve woman, through a series of "chance" encounters, that he is an international spy.. Art Malik makes an appropriately �Osama Bin Laden' super-villain especially considering what he is supposed to be portraying: the face of terrorism.. with fanatical actions shaped by a fundamental antagonism against United States.. You'll explode with laughter watching what occurs when our super hero tells him, "You're fired." With �True Lies' (a vivid reminder of just how exciting an action film can be..) director James Cameron gives us a film that (doesn't slow down..) plays for laughs enough that it works..(Watch Schwarzenegger on top of the skyscraper wanting a horse he is riding to jump to another building.. ).. The $100 million in special effects are very impressive (the best example: Harrier fighters blowing out a bridge..) especially the rescue of Arnold's daughter with a Harrier Jetfighter.. (a standout scene that has to been seen to be believed..) Six months have elapsed since (September 11th, 2001) that terrible day of infamy tore at America's soul.. On Sunday, October 7, 2001, the United States and Britain began air strikes against al Qaeda and Taliban targets in Afghanistan.. I think each nation must struggle against violence and for peace.. We will never eradicate terrorism altogether, but we can certainly minimize its destructive impact.. This is not a fight against a specific religion or a culture of people.. This is a fight for the right to live in democracy.. freely and in peace.. This is a fight to the end that the whole world MUST win.. |
