decent submitted by jjdijkstra81 on July 28, 2011, 6:09am good action movie, two sexy stars so that's cool. wouldn't watch it twice, but once was worth it.

Not good submitted by emjane on July 14, 2012, 9:05pm If your idea of a good time is watching Tom Cruise act like he’s too cool for school and Cameron Diaz panic and scream like a child, then Knight and Day is the movie for you. If, like me, you think that sounds revolting, save yourself the 109 minutes and avoid the film.

June (Diaz), while flying home for her sister’s wedding, finds herself in the middle of a rogue agent’s attempt to escape with Zephyr, a battery that never runs out of power. Roy (Cruise), the agent, claims he’s running off with Zephyr to keep his partner from selling it, and says that June has to come along with him because now the government will be after her, too. The two find themselves in all sorts of danger throughout the movie with plenty of car chases, gunshots, and explosions.

I had problems with the Knight and Day from the beginning. First of all, the story was difficult to follow— it felt like I had missed the first five minutes where characters (and their motives) were introduced. I had a hard time grasping why June had to go with Roy (and why she went along without taking any action). Really, June’s character frustrated me to no end. I’m not what I would call a feminist, but the helpless, idiot, damsel-in-distress nature of June made me want to protest. Making June a mechanic (a job typically associated with men) does not cancel out the fact that she became a screaming mess whenever anything went wrong. And when she suddenly becomes “brave” towards the end of the movie, there was no reason for her character shift. Get it together, Hollywood. I don’t need my character development to be subtle (though that would be nice), but I do need it to be moderately plausible.

Tom Cruise as a spy. Unusual. submitted by tbbrown76 on August 2, 2014, 9:06pm And, she didn't know. How formulaic. Not recommended.

Thumbs up submitted by hollieesper121573 on August 20, 2016, 11:20pm Good movie, a should watch

not one of his best submitted by yufamily on August 7, 2018, 10:14am needs more work

Watch the previews, skip the movie submitted by purchasingqueen on August 31, 2018, 11:27pm This movie was so hyped before it was released that, unfortunately, if you saw the pre-release press, you pretty much saw all the reasonably good parts already. Typical Tom Cruise action vehicle. However, this plot seemed more formulaic and obvious than usual. I give this a "meh" rating.
