I love True Lies, I have done since it was released, and I probably always will. This is for the simple reason that it cracks me up and the action is great.
I am however surprised by how many people are piling in on the OP though. It’s obviously problematic by today’s standards, and it arguably was by the standards of the time. In particular, Harry terrifies and risks significantly humiliating his wife who is at no point fully consenting to what’s happening to her - it’s surprising how many people apparently can’t see that (plus it’s slightly depressing that I expect to be downvoted for saying this).
If you’re cool with watching it in spite of that then that’s fine, but don’t justify your enjoyment by pissing at people who may have legitimate issues with it.
