I am a huge movie buff and True Lies is my all time favorite. I remember first watching it as a child back in 1995 over a friend's house with my friend, his dad, my brother, and my dad. I was blown away. Always remembered the cover of that VHS showing Arnold with a silver pistol and a grenade with an engagement ring on the pin. What a classic.
This movie combines three of my favorite things in cinema: Jim Cameron (fav director), Arnold Schwarzenegger (my fav action star), and Action/Adventure/Comedy my favorite genre. Toss them all in a blender and then season with James Bond, 90s kill the bad guy's Americana, and a love story. Served with a healthy side of Jamie Lee Curtis, Bill Paxton, and Tom Arnold.
This movie started as a vision from Arnold after seeing the original French movie. He brought the script to Cameron and asked him to do the project.
Somewhat of a cult film, not everyone has this movie and it hasn't even been released on blu ray. But everyone I know that's seen it, loves it. It has something for everyone to enjoy. The direction and production quality is top notch. Great set pieces, music, and story. It's so much fun everytime I watch it. I've probably seen it 50 times.
Please hunt down a copy and check it out. Highly recommended.
