The film have all the defects in commercial cinema in vogue from new millennium: some scenes are convincing and fascinating, while others scenes are too lightweight. Say this, even if I love Cameron Diaz. Probably the examination plot can approach the kind espionage. The couple Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise is rich in alchemy and could have worked. however, he showed a good love story, platonic, fresh but with a delightful predictable end. The director James Mangold is capable and prepared, but the actors have noticed excesses and little explanation to history: in this sense, the protagonists of the film are badly defined and poorly structured, so abusing the side comedy movie. Returning to film scenes as already seen elsewhere.

I found KNIGHT AND DAY to be a slick and soulless slice of screen entertainment, bloated by a budget stretching in to the hundreds of millions and lacking any kind of style, wit, or originality of its own. It comes across as a comic spoof of the BOURNE franchise, loaded down with random action sequences which come thick and fast but do nothing to further the plot, and overly reliant on CGI and super-fast editing to make it all a mindless jumble. Tom Cruise's arrogant super-agent is one of those characters who can take down dozens of villains without breaking a sweat and there's something inherently creepy about him here. As for Cameron Diaz, slipping into her familiar 'bumbling dolt' routine, she's dreadful, and I'm afraid that's my approximation of the film as a whole.

In a world over-flowing with stories and the talent to bring them to life, why does Hollywood keep cranking out such unmitigated piles of cr@p? The crazy Scientologist does what he does best - shows his teeth. Diaz can't act to save her life, either, but unlike Cruise she's not pretty to look at so I have no idea how she keeps getting cast in movies. There is no wit, no tension, no plot. Just posing. Producers should have taken some of the salaries paid to Cruise and Diaz and hired a competent writer or two, because this story is a mess. In fact, it plays as though they were just filming random scenes that got spliced together in the editing room. Seriously, if you were to take the movie, chop it up scene by scene and put each scene in its own container, jumbled all the canisters on a giant drum, and then reassembled the scenes in random order, this movie would make as much sense. If I'd paid $10+ to watch this at the local Googleplex rather than catching it for free on AMC, I would take a leave of absence from work and spend the next year boycotting that theatre. I give the Scientologist's teeth 2 stars. Everything else gets zero.

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz star in this romantic action-comedy about an unfailingly polite (and somewhat crazy) spy and the girl next door he falls for. No matter your opinion on Tom Cruise, he is a hoot here as he spoofs his own "invincible action hero" screen image as well as his own eccentric real-life persona. In no other film has he made me laugh so hard. Diaz, for her part, evolves slowly from damsel-in-distress to a strong and courageous action heroine, and she is a surprisingly good comic and romantic foil for Cruise. Their chemistry, terrific action sequences, and very funny dialogue carry the film over its rather formulaic plot, some slow patches, and wide gaps in the narrative. Knight and Day is a great date movie for those looking for a balance of laughs, thrills, and romance. Audiences should know that there is brief strong language, a couple of innuendos (and the stars briefly appear in swimwear), and a good deal of violence, though the tone of the latter is so over-the-top that it is clearly dark humor and parody of the ridiculousness of "invincible action-hero" movies. Still, those troubled by any of the above should look elsewhere.
