Knight and Day (2010) is an action romantic comedy movie starring Tom Cruise as Roy Miller and Cameron Diaz as June Havens.
If you've watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie or recently, The Killers (2010) starring Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl, Knight and Day is more or less, of the same genre albeit different storyline.
You got a charming good guy, a pretty damsel in distress (more or less), tonnes of bad guys, government agents gone rogue, luxurious car chase-and-crash scenes, random gun shots that can't seem to kill the good guys, things get blown up, globe-trotting in foreign cities... you name it. Sounds familiar?
Here's a short synopsis: June Havens (Cameron Diaz), an average young woman bumps into a charming and mysterious man, Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) at the airport when she's on her way to Wichita, Kansas to attend her sister April's wedding.
June quickly falls for Roy, who turns out to be a super secret agent. His job is to protect a boy named Simon Peck and a mysterious device called "Zephyr". June's seemingly harmless blind date turns her life upside-down when Roy takes her on a dramatic worldwide journey to protect both Simon and the "Zephyr".
Verdict: With a rather familiar and predictable storyline, there's basically nothing new about Knight and Day. What about Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz? Well, they form quite an amicable, typical pair of onscreen lovers who are separated by doubts and rejoined by trust.
Finally, I like its sweet and perfect 'happily-ever-after' kinda ending that warms your heart and makes you wanna hug your boyfriend right away. :)
