True Lies is one of my fav Arnie films, mostly for the over-the-top action sequences and tongue-in-cheek humour. Written and directed by James Cameron, the critics weren't too harsh on it either. It garnered a 7.3/10 on IMDB. Here's an excerpt from Roger Ebert's review:
Consider, for example, a chase sequence near the beginning of the movie, in which a bad guy on a motorcycle is chased by Arnold, on a horse, through a hotel lobby. Most movies would be content with that. Not "True Lies", which continues the chase on high-rise elevators and ends up on the hotel roof, with Arnold urging the horse to attempt a free fall into a swimming pool. The plot is, of course, little more than a clothesline upon which to hang such set pieces. It involves Schwarzenegger as Harry, an ace U.S. spy, who has been married for 15 years to a sweet-tempered wife named Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis), who thinks he is a computer salesman. (He works for something called the Omega Force, which describes itself in its seal as "The Last Line of Defense"). How he has successfully managed this deception is one of the many questions the film does not pause to answer.
