Knight and Day

3 out of 5 Stars



In Knight and Day, June Havens soon finds her life entangled in that of Roy Miller, a secret agent. Despite his attempts to keep her off the plane he's on, higher authorities find a way to get her on and before she knows it she can't escape Roy, leading a series of misadventures.

Knight and Day is a simple movie with a pretty simple plot and one dimensional characters. But at the same time there is lots of action, plenty of witty one liners, and surprising performances by Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. And the filmmakers of course also try to keep you guessing as to the truth. But the reality is that the film just isn't that unpredictable. And I'm pretty sure that it's not supposed to be either. It's a basic summer popcorn flick. You've got action, you've got humor, and really not much else. But the cast makes this movie surprisingly fun. It seemed hard at first to see Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz fitting together in the same movie, but once all the excitement is over it really does seem to work. Although this film is nothing special, it is fun.
