    An action comedy, that should be described as an action film, with funny moments. Not that parts aren't hilarious, but this film is fairly serious. It's no poor parody such as Johnny English. Schwarzenegger also doesn't have to act hapless or comical to get the laughs. The premis... ...( read more )

    An inevtable '90s classic. Jamie Lee Curtis' strip scene was a dream come true for any teenage boy who grew up watching Halloween.

    (1995 Director: James Cameron) Harry (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has been leading a double life as a computer salesman/CIA agent, only his love legal secy wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) has no clue. In fact, her dull life leads her to an affair.. That is when the story begins!

    Tom Arnold (Arnold's CIA buddy) Bill Paxton (used car salesman) & even Charleton Heston (Head of CIA) & lots of laughs for a well written & acted spy thriller.
