The life of a secret agent, Harry Tasker, who has a hidden side of his work, as he claims that he works as a computer sales man, has been changed, when he attempts to find out the gang who trade in the nuclear weapons, as he is an active member at a secret agency of facing terrorism, in doing so, he finds out that his wife is cheating on him.
Half the time, this hi-tech action movie delivers, in a mindless kind of way: it's fast, crude and has enough explosions and cartoon-style violence to satisfy our baser instincts.
Writer/director James Cameron has made his fair share of groundbreaking, great movies, but pound for pound True Lies is his most flat-out entertaining.
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.

James Cameron is able to present his usual high-impact action, pushing the film out of the realm of simple Bond spoofing.
As this comedy of manners unfolds, it is played for all-out action as well as satiric humor.

However high your ranking on the culture scale, I defy you to watch this and leave the theatre without a whistled 'Wow' followed by a grudging 'That's entertainment.'
