Big screen superstars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz come together in this fun, action-packed thrill-ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat. When a small-town girl named June (Diaz) meets a mysterious stranger, she thinks she's found the man of her dreams. But she soon discovers he's a fugitive super-spy, who thrusts her into a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase that spans the globe. As the bullets and sparks fly, June must decide if her "Knight" in shining armor is a dangerous traitor or the love of her life.

Often action films are so preposterous and everyone knows it but the actors. However, this film somehow works because Cruise and Diaz are fully included on the joke. The double agent story never gets too complex or suspenseful, but the campy and satirical action sequences add freshness to the film. The movie is reminiscent of much worse examples such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Killers, which make this effort far more tolerable than it should have been. You will also find many similarities to Bond films with Cruise’s character being nowhere near as captive as James Bond. The concept, however, is the same – a fun, action-packed story that leaves with you with a smile and the opportunity to escape.Entertaining but forgettable - ArcAngelMD
This is an entertaining, witty, and creative action film that is a good time waister, but little more. Cruise and Diaz put forth some of their weaker performances which will leave the film ultimately forgotten. I suspect in ten years, people will look back on IMDB and recognize this as a forgotten film. It's worth a Zip, but this is certainly not a buy.The Critics aren't always right! - ShowBill1
Knight and Day, starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, directed by James Mangold was torn apart by the “experts and critics?” upon its release. I, however, found it to be an entertaining film complete with mega stars, exotic locations, great action, good special effects, and lots of humor. There was good chemistry between Cruise and Diaz, which is lacking in so many movies lately.
If you enjoyed fun, action movies like “Romancing the Stone”, “Bourne Series”, “James Bond films” etc. you will probably enjoy this movie also. There are some outrageously, implausible stunts (like Bond or Indiana Jones) and lots of car chase, and great action scenes. There are also many funny moments and lines between Diaz and Cruise. It looked to me that the two stars were thoroughly enjoying making this picture, which usually is a good thing for the audience.
It seems that the “experts?” today want us to dislike people like Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, John Travolta, and Russell Crowe for their religious beliefs, off screen antics etc, and I think we sometimes forget how many times they have entertained us with good film performances. Tom Cruise still makes a good entertaining movie, and he and Diaz are good together in this film.
This is not a classic, by any means, but it is still a movie to be enjoyed with your guy or girl, with popcorn and drinks on a movie evening .
