Knight & Day [Blu-ray]Knight and Day has action by the boatload, cheeky wit, unexpected double-crossing, sexual tension, and the blinding smile of its star, Tom Cruise. In short, what more could you ask of a rollicking good-time movie? Knight and Day, which also stars the irresistible Cameron Diaz as Cruise’s superspy’s ultimate foil, channels the best elements of earlier films like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mission: Impossible, the Bourne films, and even a little of Duplicity‘s sophistication. Mostly, though, Knight and Day is about moving things along merrily, if not completely coherently, as the two stars tangle, and tussle with trust issues, in a completely believable, compulsively watchable way. Cruise plays Roy, an on-the-lam spy (who may have had some kind of psychotic break–or who may in fact be the only person telling the truth); he runs into the winsome June (Diaz), who gets caught up in Roy’s mad dash to escape the cabal of federal agents on his tail. “No one follows us,” Roy announces to a terrified diner crowd as he moves to make his escape with June, “or I kill myself–and then her.” While Knight and Day, directed by James Mangold, has more than its share of high-speed chases, hails of bullets, and explosions, it works far better as a romantic comedy–for the chemistry between Diaz and Cruise is delicious, palpable, and believable. So grab a date and an extra-large popcorn, and get ready for a sweet and fun Knight and Day. –A.T. Hurley

Review by Jonny Lee for Knight & Day [Blu-ray]
Rating:
My wife and I got a free ticket to attend one of three movies–”Predators,” “Knight And Day,” or “A-Team.” It was a no-brainer. I’ll wait for the other two to come to DVD to partake in them. My wife was fairly adamant about wanting to go and see “Knight And Day” right from the gate, when the trailers were appearing here and there in different venues–internet, TV, DVD releases, what-have-you. It looked to be a ton of fun, and, boy, was it ever! There was so much wondering about what was really taking place as opposed to what was seen on the surface that it would be a bit difficult to explain it all here. Let’s just say the Tom’s character, Roy Miller, may have been a good guy or a bad guy throughout the movie, we just simply don’t know, which adds to the suspense…ten-fold. His personality says he isn’t, but his actions say otherwise. All in all, through all the guessing and wondering what was truly going on, there was a bit of well-placed humor, and an exceptional chemistry between Cameron and Tom. They were having a ton of fun in the making of this movie, and it showed. My wife made note that the trailers didn’t show every bit of the good stuff, leaving nothing for the movie-going experience. That was completely true. This is not a movie for all the tight-a**, boring, nepotistic critics out there. This one is for a great time out on a weekend and a soon-to-be great time on adult movie-night at home. One more note: Mid to late teens would be fine with the subject matter of “Knight And Day” as well. LOTS O’ FUN!!!

Review by Pumpkin Man for Knight & Day [Blu-ray]
Rating:
This movie was a lot better than I had originally expected. It is filled to the brim with over-the-top action, suspense, and comedy. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were perfectly cast together. June Havens is on her way home, and literally bumps into Roy Miller at the airport. After they talk on the plane, June begins to like him, but she soon finds out that Roy is secret agent and doesn’t take it too well. Roy is constantly following June in order to protect her from Agent Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is after a perpetual energy battery called the Zephyr and will do whatever it takes to get it. I highly recommend KNIGHT AND DAY!!!

Knight & Day is about a rogue agent (Tom Cruise) that hides a powerful battery in a normal woman named June’s (Cameron Diaz) carry on case at an airport. He thought that would be it and he’d never see her again, but he finds himself having to protect her from the people he used to work with.
The movie is just fun and it may be silly that Cruise and Diaz talk casually during shoot-outs but that’s one of the things I enjoyed about the movie. The movie isn’t meant to be taken seriously, just sit back and enjoy all the entertaining non-sense. Out of a so far lackluster summer season, Knight & Day is one of the better summer movies. Don’t listen to the idiots on At the Movies, this is a fun flick and I highly doubt the Killers is a better movie like they said!

This movie calls out for a steamy summer day when the theater’s air conditioning is half the reason to go. It offers pretty much everything a silly-season movie watcher (or parents of same) could want: guns’n'chases, bloodless violence, a chaste romantic theme and, at least in the last fifteen minutes, a nice role reversal with a girl-power touch.
The plot (such as it is) features Tom Cruise dragging Diaz’s small-town character from her supporting role in Boston wedding through the seamy side of Europe’s black-market arms trade. Somehow, her hayseed character and his boyscout cheerfulnes never waver, even during running gun battles with unspecified bad guys. C’mon, you didn’t come for the credibility, did you?
Set your expectations properly, and it’s a fine bit of commodity entertainment.
