True Lies (1994) SPOILER FREE REVIEW LIVE | Movies Merica | 4.28.24

I go back to 1994 for this week’s review.

Specifically the epic, action-packed Arnold Schwarzenegger spy thriller True Lies.

This was James Cameron teaming up again with his Terminator for this big budget, eye-popping spectacle.

Schwarzenegger plays Harry Tasker who has his wife and daughter convinced that he’s just a dull to the bone computer salesman.

In reality he’s a spy for the covert Omega Sector, hunting down and stopping threats.

Things get dicier when he hears something that makes him think his wife is having an affair and he investigates.

Some terrorists really end up spoiling his investigation, just to launch a nuclear attack plot on the United States.

Schwarzenegger is joined by Jamie Lee Curtis as his wife, Eliza Dushku as his daughter, Tom Arnold as his partner and the late, great Bill Paxton as “super spy” Simon.

If, amazingly you haven’t seen this, is it worth checking out?

Watch my retro review of True Lies to find out.

True Lies co-stars Tia Carrere, Art Malik, Grant Heslov and Charlton Heston.
