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.

True Lies quotes

  • Simon: [leaning on Simon's corvette, having lunch] Okay, just ask yourself: What do women really want? You take these bored housewives, married to the same guy for years, they're stuck in a rut, then need some release! Promise of adventure, a hint of danger. I create that for them.

    Harry: So basically, your lying your ass off the whole time. See, I can't do that.

    Simon: What are you, a boy scout? No, no, no, think of it as playing a role as fantasy. I mean, you got to work on their dreams. Get them out of their daily surburban grind for a few hours.

    Harry: But what about their husbands?

    Simon: Dickless! I mean, let's face it, if they took care of business, I'd be out of business! You know what I mean?
