User Reviews

A Great Movie!

When I saw this movie on World Movies I loved it, thinking that it was one of the funiest films I have seen in a long time.

At that point I didn't know there was an American re-make, though I had seen bits of True Lies before, but somehow I only ever saw action scenes and was turned off from seeing it. Only today, when I was telling my friend the plot of "La Totale!" did he tell me it was almost the same as True Lies.. and I was very surprised, especially as True Lies had terrible reviews.

Oh well, I suppose it won't be the first re-make which is nowhere near as good as the original :-)
