    [True Lies] takes the 1994 action comedy, strips it for parts, and tries to sell you on a hollow, meaningless shell.

    It’s no one’s fault in particular and rather everyone’s all at once with uninspired placeholder dialogue (“You know what your dad says: computers don’t sell themselves”) performed by two lacklustre leads who lack chemistry and comedic timing, underselling material that really needed the oversell.

    There’s no fun, no thrills, and no sex. Hell, there are barely any lies! What we’re subjected to instead is a criminally wooden, algorithmic remake without a single original idea to prop itself up.

Comedy actors being used to portray serious situations let's their abilities go to waste . Potential to be a lighter hearted spy show that we need with characters we can relate to. Please don't let this be an attempt at a serious spy show that it doesn't have the budget to be. Still worth a watch… Full Review »
