Knight and Day (Single-Disc Edition) Review
This movie is FUN! Really 4 1/2 stars. Tom Cruise is perfect in the role of US version of James Bond. Cruise plays the role of Roy Miller who is 3/4th Ethan Hunt from his Mission Impossible series and 1/4th Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder (the best role in the movie IMHO). Cameron Diaz is June Havens a girl in the wrong place (airline flight filled with bad guys) at the wrong time (the plane is going to crash). The pace is often frenetic but the movie takes some time-outs to learn about each of the characters. Cruise and Diaz eventually fall for each other but not without some bumps along the way. I could go into the plot but it's better to just go in and enjoy this wonderful ride that is equal parts action flick, romance, and comedy. The combination of these traits and the excellent cast make this movie as much of can't miss entertainment as you are going to find. This movie definitely is worth owning because you will want to watch this multiple times.

Knight and Day (Single-Disc Edition) Specifications
Knight and Day has action by the boatload, cheeky wit, unexpected double-crossing, sexual tension, and the blinding smile of its star, Tom Cruise. In short, what more could you ask of a rollicking good-time movie? Knight and Day, which also stars the irresistible Cameron Diaz as Cruise's superspy's ultimate foil, channels the best elements of earlier films like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mission: Impossible, the Bourne films, and even a little of Duplicity's sophistication. Mostly, though, Knight and Day is about moving things along merrily, if not completely coherently, as the two stars tangle, and tussle with trust issues, in a completely believable, compulsively watchable way. Cruise plays Roy, an on-the-lam spy (who may have had some kind of psychotic break--or who may in fact be the only person telling the truth); he runs into the winsome June (Diaz), who gets caught up in Roy's mad dash to escape the cabal of federal agents on his tail. "No one follows us," Roy announces to a terrified diner crowd as he moves to make his escape with June, "or I kill myself--and then her." While Knight and Day, directed by James Mangold, has more than its share of high-speed chases, hails of bullets, and explosions, it works far better as a romantic comedy--for the chemistry between Diaz and Cruise is delicious, palpable, and believable. So grab a date and an extra-large popcorn, and get ready for a sweet and fun Knight and Day. --A.T. Hurley
