 6/10 |
Far be it from me to say that True Lies isn't a fun lark of an action-comedy, but it could stand to be a lot more fun and a lot more larking. Full Review |

James Cameron is able to present his usual high-impact action, pushing the film out of the realm of simple Bond spoofing. Full Review |

3.5/4 |
An affectionate homage to James Bond movies, ratcheted up to meet the action/adventure expectations of today's audiences. Full Review |

If the Gulf War gave you an insatiable taste for burning oil and burning Arabs, this extravaganza will tide you over for at least a couple of days. Full Review |

Providing its share of fun in stretches, pic ultimately overstays its welcome with a level of mayhem that will simply feel like too much for any marginal fan of the genre. Full Review |

Though not as irksome and irritating as Schwarzenegger's Last Action Hero, this James Cameron actioner is a more of a big technical machine than a story (which is senseless); some of the effects are good but Jamie Lee Curtis is totally wasted. Full Review |

One of the best mega-budgeted summer blockbusters of the modern era. A deft blend of thrilling action and edgy comedy.

Although it's Cameron's weakest feature, it's still pretty good.
