A single girl en route to a family wedding gets swept up in a fight between a rogue government agent and the FBI in this globe-trotting action comedy from director James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 t... read more read more...o Yuma). June Havens (Cameron Diaz) is preparing to board a flight back home for her sister's wedding when she literally bumps into Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) in the middle of a busy airport. A few minutes later, they're making small talk on the plane when June excuses herself to the bathroom, and all hell breaks loose in the fuselage. By the time June emerges Roy has killed everybody on board, including the pilots. After crash-landing the plane in a darkened cornfield, Roy tells June that she should expect a visit from government agents, but warns her that by cooperating with them she risks almost certain death. The following day, Roy's prediction comes true when June is confronted by an imposing gang of government spooks who come under heavy fire while bombarding her with questions about her mysterious traveling companion. Suddenly, Roy is back, and he's once again whisking June away to safety. But what do the agents want, and why do they insist that Roy is the one to be feared, and not them? Before long the girl who never traveled far from home is off on a wild adventure that will take her from the tropics to Austria, France, and Spain. Somewhere amidst all of the confusion and gunfire, June begins to forge a bond with Roy. Unfortunately, it's never quite clear whether her unpredictable protector is one of the good guys or the bad guys, and by the time Roy reveals that he's attempting to protect a valuable new energy source, there's no time for questions. Paul Dano, Viola Davis, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Grace, and Marc Blucas co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise give some pretty good performances in Knight & Day which elevates this formulaic summer action-comedy considerably. It's got a good pace, good chemistry, a somewhat implausible and predictable story (but hey, it's summer fun, so what does that matter?... read more), and some good cinematography. Paul Dano also gives a really nice performance as Simon Feck. I found it to be great fun, charming and occasionally funny, and I found the ending quite touching and suitable (and funny). Others may find it cheesy....

    Over the top, pretty ridiculous and very silly but I think it's tongue is very much in its cheek and it was never the intention to be taken too seriously - and to its credit. I was pretty surprised and relieved that this film wasn't all that bad. It's fun. I think fun was its int... read moreention, so mission successful as far as I'm concerned. It does get a bit rubbish towards the end while Cruise takes 10 minutes out but it's forgivable for what it is. Two actors who I really dislike actually making a likable film, who would have though eh!?

    I wonder if I'd have ever watched this action thriller were it not for my brother. Surprisingly, it wasn't half as disappointing as I'd feared it to be. Fairly enjoyable.

    It's probably got the best formula for an action romance in years. Sophisticated and more gripping than Mr and Mrs Smith with a better plot, good summer action and a very enthusiastic Cruise and Diaz.

    I don't really watch Tom Cruise's movie but ended up watching this and it was really an awesome movie.

    Tom Cruise goes on another spy mission, and this time around, there is nothing impossible about it. KNIGHT & DAY is like GET SMART, except with Cruise instead of Carrell, and Diaz instead of Hathaway. Though flawed, it is hard not to enjoy.

    Okay, so there's a fairly g... read moreood combination of genres here, to start with. It's basically a cross between an action movie and a buddy comedy, with a hint of romance. The film starts when Roy Miller (Cruise), a spy, and June Havens (Diaz) bump into each other at a Kansas airport, more than once. June is intending to take a restored car to her sister as a birthday present, but even though she has flight reservations, she is informed that her flight is overbooked. (Sounding unusual already?) Seeing that she has bumped into Roy again, a Federal agent assumes that she is with Roy and puts her back on the list, leaving them on the same plane. Then, all hell breaks loose on the plane, which has only a few other people aboard.

    The acting was a considerable issue with KNIGHT & DAY. Both Will Smith and Gerard Butler were considered for the role that eventually fell into the hands of Tom Cruise, and with the silly performance he gives, either one of them would have worked much better. Also, Diaz was a good choice, but the way she laughs at everything and takes very little seriously for at least half of the film; it makes her character, a) seem like she is using drugs, and b) tip the balance that was made on what defines a screen couple.

    The action is a whole other thing. It seems nonstop, fun, and just short of ridiculous; and for an uncommon case in spy film history, it fits the plot line well. So I really shouldn't say that this film should have stayed in "development hell" (believe it or not, it was in there for quite a while!); it just wasn't the best.

    If Tom Cruise can get back on track, he will be doing a lot of good movies like this, but really its not a memorable movie, you will forget it in a week.
