This is pretty much the peak espionage action movie. The movie veers between hilarity and intensity with great skill. All the acting is outstanding, the villains are examples of quality, the stunts are extreme and the whole thing comes together as just a perfect example of what a movie should be. One of Schwarzenegger's best.

"Your fired". Harry is actually part of an ultra-secret organization and when he finds out his wife is having an affair with a "spy" he uses his resources to keep tabs on her, but they both end up in the hands of terrorists. This movie has cool action and good visual effect's and some bad-ass lines.

A surprisingly enjoyable spy thriller that is almost a spoof on the genre. Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis have fun with the silly script and the film also features some improbable, but insane action sequences.

Government spook and his wife. Humor, action, body count, atomic bomb in Florida. Lots of special effects. Watch this if you want diversion that will take you away for awhile.

A lighter action/comedy outing for Camron and Arnold. The pair deliver a competent, yet enjoyably silly, classic 90's style romp. Curtis has a blast as Arnold's wife and gets in on just as much of the thrills. There's some questionable moments amidst a story that some have called misogynistic. I don't agree with that, but I do notice the blatant odd scenes where the criticism originates from. All of that aside, it's still a fun action packed ride.

To my mind this is the best funny spy movie out there. It was really well done, has great action, and has characters that you actually want to succeed. Jamie Lee Curtis really steals the show for me, but Arnold's acting is very good as well. I do like his comedies. The action is also well done making this a very enjoyable movie.

"True Lies" is a fun, clever film. The characters drive the film, which becomes a little over-the-top at the end (just how long can a teenage girl hang on to a moving Harrier Jet?). The film makes you wonder what would happen if someone gave James Cameron the keys to the James Bond franchise. As always, I monitored the film for tobacco use. The film earned a SmokeScreeners rating of 4 Butts. http://tinyurl.com/cxdy4c

I liked Jamie Lee Curtis in this film. She did a good job as the dowdy housewife who discovers her adventurous side.

One of the best non-Terminator Schwarzenegger films, this mixes action, a fast, exciting plot and some great supporting work (yes, even from Tom Arnold). It's not the best action film ever, but it has enough in it to be a good film.
