Action packed spy adventure

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: none

...he tried something different with True Lies. True Lies is an action-packed film about Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger), an American spy working for a government organisation called Omega Sector, along with his partner Albert Gibson (Tom Arnold). However, Harry is hiding his life as a spy from his wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and daughter, Dana (Eliza Dushku), by pretending to be a computer salesman. He is routinely missing big family events ...
...is neglecting them. Harry has his own problems dealing with Middle Eastern terrorists led by Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik), who has stolen nuclear weapons and are threatening to nuke the US. This is an exciting film that has been influenced a bit by the Bond films. However having Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character leading a double life adds a twist, which is also humourous. As you would expect from a James Cameron film, the story is great and full of ...

Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
