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!

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 that 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!!!

This is what movies are meant to be -- great fun from start to finish with actors and a script and direction firing on all cylinders to create the most fun you will have at the movies this year. If you have ever liked tom cruise, this is a must see -- cameron diaz is superb and I cannot say enough good things about this movie. IT'S A MUST SEE.

Far better than I expected and yet, still somewhat lacking; `Knight and Day' is as fun as the genre allows but I was left wanting much more. I think the reason for this is the fact that everything `right' about this movie is VERY right. Tom Cruise may be one of the most obnoxious celebrities around, but he's a fun actor and he works that suspicious charm all over this film. I am smitten with Cameron Diaz (who I feel is highly underrated as on of her generations greatest working actresses) and she is all sorts of charismatically alluring in this film. The action sequences are non-stop and totally engrossing and the basic plot (a predictable twist off the expected espionage thriller) is interesting enough to hold it's own in the film. The supporting cast is a whose-who of respectable faces doing underwhelming things (Sarsgaard is demoted to predictably sleazy, Viola Davis is stuck in `Law and Order' mode and Paul Dano is laughably out of his element) yet they are forgiven thanks to the quick-fire pace of the film itself. It's like a `Bourne' films without the intelligence, but when all is said and done it's richly entertaining. It rides of cusp of greatness by teasing us with all the goodies it has in its bag, but I was waiting desperately for it to cross that line and really, really deliver.

I rarely watch a movie twice. I've seen this move many times. It is just that entertaining. My kids love it as much as I do. This is just a good old-fashioned adventure movie, with a creative story line and great acting.

I hate to say it, but I think critics got hung up on Cruise's religion. Give it a break people, so he jumped on a freaking couch-- at least he's not boring. This movie was tons of fun and Diaz shines with a charming vulnerability. An action romp with dear Viola!

Not a huge fan of Tom Cruise's recent movies. . . this movie is the difference between night and day! I really was not expecting much and I've skipped over it many times, however I found it entertaining, fun, exciting, and the romance between Cruise & Diaz was perfect.

After a crazy day at work, I was looking for a movie that would entertain me without having to use too much mind. And I found this. It was all that I expected of it. The plot was simple with lot of convenient loop-holes (which I expected and accepted). Tom Cruise looked older than ever and Cameron looked $exy as ever. The stunts, the dialogues, the "missing" chemistry between the lead pair - all just "tied" together.... but I have to admit still gave me "now-what-is-happening-amazed" tickles. Cameron's goofiness was enjoyable. Like I said, I didnt start with much so was not disappointed. You can watch the movie - make sure to switch your brain off. :)

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!!!

This movie is simply a fun, light hearted action-romance. Don't expect more than that out of it, and you will enjoy the movie.
