Knight and Day delivers in the same way that, Iron Man and Star Trek, did last summer. It's an obvious popcorn flick/summer blockbuster, but it isn't filled with cliche one-liners and sub-par acting. The two movies that I mentioned before were relative surprises and went on to enormous success. That's what I see with, Knight and Day, a movie that at first glance might be seen as another mediocre Tom Cruise film, but in actuality is a entertaining thrill ride that just might go down as the sleeper blockbuster of the summer.
There isn't too much for me to say about the specifics of the film other than that Cruise and Diaz are an exquisite pair on-screen. Cruise really does have some of his best stuff since, Jerry Maguire, and Diaz is damn near a perfect pick to play the second lead. The on screen chemistry essentially makes the movie, but the action/stunts and the gorgeous sets come in a close second (Didn't hurt that alot of the car chase scenes were shot in Boston).
I'm not going to anoint this as my favorite movie of the summer, not even my fav. Cruise film ever, just saying that with competition like Shrek Forever After, The A Team, and Grown Ups, you should definitely go see this movie before you see those.
