True Lies
January 24th, 2009 by thrandurTrue Lies Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold and Bill Paxton Directed by James Cameron
The plot is simple. Harry Tasker is a spy, unbeknownst to his family and friends. His wife is unhappy with her "boring husband" and considering cheating on him. Harry discovers this and uses his spy resources to prevent it. While this is all going on, terrorists get their hands on a nuclear bomb, and Harry and his wife get tangled up in the plot. He must save the world and his marriage at the same time.
This movie is one of my favorite spy movies for several reasons. It doesn't take itself seriously. The actions is quite well done. They even managed to make Tom Arnold occasionally funny. Jamie Lee Curtis is hot, and her strip scene is worth the price of admission alone. There's also Tia Carrere, who plays a villain, but is also very watchable.
It's fun, light fare and one of Arnold's better movies.
