In this classic entertainment film, almost every scene and every paragraph is remarkable, and even many cutscenes are full of energy without any slack. It is not too much to call it a classic. There are four large action scenes in the more than two hours of film. It's not too many, but each one is full and amazing. The first fight scene is the prelude at the beginning of the film. "Mission Impossible" two years later has many similarities with this paragraph, but it was a successful operation, and the shooting scene accounted for a large proportion. There are not many shots of Schwarzenegger breaking through the snow, but the strength, speed, marksmanship, judgment, and composure are all shown, which is an excellent prelude to show the character's abilities. The audience was most impressed by the scene of Schwarzenegger turning back and subduing the vicious dog while running, calm and clean. After the audience has calmly watched a few slow-paced, humorous cutscenes, the film begins on time in the first third with a second, larger action scene. Schwarzenegger dealt with the two minor minions without much effort, and began to formally fight with Aziz, the terrorist leader of the "Red Army". The plot soon turns to Schwarzenegger's pursuit of Aziz, which is a whimsical scene of a horse chasing a motorcycle instead of the most clichéd car chase. Aziz was driving a motorcycle in front, and Schwarzenegger rode his horse in the back. The two chased from the street to the hotel lobby, and then from the ground to the rooftop. The tension and thrills are self-evident, and several humorous scenes are even more memorable. The band in the hotel lobby was out of tune when they saw the motorcycle, and the sound when they saw the horses was simply disgusting; Schwarzenegger rode on the horse. The embarrassing reaction of a couple as they entered the elevator was also hilarious. In the end, Aziz rushed off the rooftop, and Schwarzenegger even had to chase after him, but the result after satiating the audience's appetite was a small trick. The film then spends a lot of time playing with the "true lie" that the title of the film refers to in a humorous way. This off-topic paragraph is not thrilling, but the outstanding point lies in the wonderful plot design and the humorous performance of the actors. Schwarzenegger's performance in this "literary drama" is clearly underwhelming, and the limelight is robbed by Curtis, who plays his wife, and Bill Paxton, who plays the ridiculous used car salesman. Paxton starred in "Tornado" two years later, and the character in the film showcased his talent in comedy.

    This movie can be regarded as a classic among the action movie classics of the 90s.

    This film is the second collaboration between James Cameron and Schwarzenegger after the two "Terminators". Unexpectedly, on the basis of the original sci-fi action film, Cameron has added a branch line of independent comedy films. This sense of humor in the bones makes the audience not feel awkward about some exaggerated plots. This film is not only rich in details, but also has a rare thickness and color in its characterization. The main characters have played an unprecedented level. Schwarzenegger's muscles are well developed and he can use heavy weapons effortlessly, maintaining his performance in "Terminator" 2", but his unique sense of humor is also impressive.
