One week ago when I moved some stuff out of my room I found and old VHS tape which I haven’t seen in many years. On the tape was a recorded copy of True Lies, an action/comedy/romance film by James Cameron starring (mainly) Arnold Schwarzenegger. The plot is that Harry (Arnold) works as an agent for the US government and his mission it to track down some stolen nuclear warheads while his wife is having an unknown affair with another man. Harry fights the terrorists and solves his family problem in a very fascinating and entertaining way, where both separated story’s get weaved together at the end.
This movie is easily one of my top three action movies of all time. The action scenes are pure gold and the humour is great. Arnold probably makes one of his best acting performances in this film. Usually he is just a 120 kilo lump of unemotional killing, but in this movie he’s on several occasions funny and the rest of the time his just hardcore. The movie don’t have any slow-parts at all, witch makes it feel a lot shorter than it is. A combination of action and comedy is always lurking around the corner. Sure the action is “over the top” and the plot is quite weak but the way that it is presented is excellent. Plenty of cliffhangers keep you on edge and innovative fighting scenes convince you that this is no ordinary “no brains” action. This film will show you how a real action movie should be. And if you like hi-pulse action I can definitely recommend this movie. It’s great!

Sounds interesting, I like comedies, but an action film that ends happily and is funny may be a great entertainment as well. It is so nostalgic to find an old tape with a good film.
This is a movie what I think I have seen but I’m not sure. Anyhow it seems like a movie I would appreciate.
