Cruise's action/adventure/comedy Knight and Day offers some decent action within a terribly organized script. The movie stars Cameron Diaz as June Havens, a young, everyday bubbly blonde who's making her way back home for her sister's wedding. She unintentionally boards the same plane as rogue government agent, Roy Miller (Tom Cruise). Bullets start flying, action ensues and before you know it this naive little blonde has no idea what she's gotten into. She becomes a pawn in Miller's plan, and a bit of an agent herself, always falling into unfortunate situations with Roy Miller where she is drugged and then expected to perform. This does add a bit of comedy.
However, Roy Miller's charming, charismatic criminal style allows Tom Cruise to rely on his stereotypical charm instead of his well-known talent. His character is reminiscent of criminal cowboy J.D. in Thelma and Louise; and many of the romantic scenes between him and Diaz come off as cheesy Harlequin manuevers. Diaz, however makes a good run of her performance and comes off as very believable and likable. However, Knight and Day fails to be a good action/comedy, simply juxtaposing action sequences with comedy sequences. Although it encompasses some entertaining action it lacks a proper sequence with no climax.
6.7/10
Skip it :(
