In the action-comedy Knight & Day, Tom Cruise is a covert agent and Cameron Diaz is a woman caught between him and those he claims set him up. As their globetrotting adventure erupts into a maze of double-crosses, close escapes, false identities, and head-spinning romantic snafus, they come to realize that all they can count on is each other.

The easiest way I can describe this movie is Mission Impossible with a side order of Mr & Mrs Smith. Cameron Diaz plays her typical ‘hot but awkward female’ role and Tom Cruise plays the typical dashing ass kicking hero. Despite the fact that the romantic dynamic between the two leads in this film is about as believable as a three dollar bill overall you will get out of this movie what you might expect. Lots of over the top action, witty one liners, corny one liners, a few groans, a few laughs and a hefty body count as Knight & Day unfolds. I will admit I was quite surprised in the first half of the film how well Tom Cruise played out his character and how well done the dialogue was. I am used to Tom Cruise throwing out cliché one liner after one liner similar to a John Travolta movie but for a change he played a less smug character and instead was witty, funny and very entertaining. As the film progresses it become a bit Mission Impossible and loses sight on the dialogue to focus on the action but overall I must admit it worked and Tom Cruise the actor I love to show no love did a pretty good job.

Cameron Diaz on the other hand once again underwhelms as June and brought back flashbacks of What Happens in Vegas which was easily one of her worst roles. Cameron unfortunately does not cut it as the ‘cute girl next door’ anymore and she lacks the acting chops to deliver in any kind of film it seems. Something About Mary in my books is her only good film and clearly if your being upstaged by Tom Cruise its time to think about things.

Regardless I am getting off on a bit of a tangent. Knight and Day is sure to appeal to fans of Mission Impossible and Mr & Mrs Smith as the two main characters go on a cross continent expedition with a few interesting twists and plenty of chuckles. Although its not going to win any awards and may not tear up the box office ( we will have to wait and see ) its worth checking out. If your a Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz fan I think its safe to say you will REALLY enjoy this flick.
