"True Lies"

Still on the fence with this one.  There is a ton of action and the familial bickering between the two leads brings a terrific level of "fun" to this spy drama.  But I'm not sold on the cast.  Steve Howey has grown up a lot since his "Reba" days and let's hear it for casting older actors like Bevery D'Angelo, who brings a gravitas simply by walking into a room.  Love Omar Benson Miller in, well, anything and everything.  He brings a great energy to every project.  But the other characters are ... a bit generic.  And I'm not buying the highly-trained covert operator who is always freaking out in the truck when things don't go as planned.  Will give this a few more tries to see if it takes.
