Arnie is back. He always comes back. But this time Arnie is old. Really, really old. Which isn’t to be ageist at all, it’s just that when you’re 75, being able to pull off the action hero role proves to be a bit hard in Fubar. You shouldn’t be worried for Arnie as he goes through an action set-piece. For fans like me, he’s always been the indestructible hero throwing bad guys through windows with one flex of his Austrian oak arms. Now, although stunt doubles cover 80% of this roll, you still wince for him when he swings a punch or has to jump on a jeep. Careful, big man, don’t make him hold an Uzi, it weighs like 9 pounds.
Anyway, all wincing aside this is a pretty fun exercise in mediocrity, as Arnie heads into his first TV streamer series with a variation on one of his most fun, and daft blockbusters, True Lies.
