Knight and Day Movie Review

From the director of Walk the Line(James Mangold),comes the best action romantic comedy of the summer!June(Cameron Diaz)is a Boston mechanic trying to catch a flight back to Massachusettes,but runs into FBI Agent Roy(The hysterical and suave Tom Cruise).They have a nice chat on the plane , but while June is in the bathroom Roy kills everybody on the plane because they are agents trying to capture him.When she comes out she is shocked ,and Roy has to land the plane!He sucsessfully does and drugs her.The Next Morning June is safe in her Boston appartment,but is flapbbergasted and confused.She is caught by Roy's former partner Fitz(The evil Peter Sarragard),but then she is quickly saved by Roy after an epic car chase.They both decide to go on the run together until it is time for June to return home for her sister's(Maggie Grace from Taken)wedding.Also,Roy is in charge of protecting a genius mad-scientist(Little Miss Sunshine's Paul Dano in a zany , different role)named Simon,who created a battery that can power a small city.Like Roy says in the film"Not like your regular Duracell!".

Let Me start with the very few flaws.The 3 villians in the film didnt explain why they wanted the battery.I also felt the film should of been cut down 2 minutes.Especially the parts when Roy's parents are in it.That's pretty much it.

For the pros , right away the chemistry between Cruise and Diaz was as Cruise said in the film"Sublime!".The action scenes were very very very well directed by Mangold.Also the dialougue in this film was ama-za-zing!I also loved that the film was so fast paced.It kind felt like a cross Between The Bourne Trilogy/James Bond/and Road Trip.This film also had some really creative kills.I dont know if this was an inside joke or not but when they were getting chased by bulls they were on a RED Motorcycle.IRONIC!

For the performances,Cruise was a comedic genius.He has a distinct kind of comedy.He was kind of a wise ass in the most likeable way.This is definitley the funniest Cruise since 08's Tropic Thunder.Cameron Diaz also gives a very funny performance as June and delivers he lines very well.It was like she was in the Charlie's Angels movies again(and that's a good thing).I felt Paul Dano was VERY UNDERUSED , but in the scenes he was in he was funny as hell especially the scene were he has a Hall and Oates pin on!Peter Sarrsgard,Viola Davis,and Jordi Molla play intimidating villians.Overall the acting was great.

If your looking for a great summer action romantic comedy defintiley check out Knight and Day!Tom Cruise should be screaming"SHOW ME THE MONEY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
