Knight and Day? Why was this film titled such? I have no clue what so ever. Tom Cruise was Roy Miller and Cameron Diaz was June Havens in this film. Roy is a spy with a very precious item that he has to transport and with all the government agents after him, he has a ridiculous plan of hiding it in June's trolley bag. Hoping that his precious cargo would be "safe" with her.
Ridiculously unfortunate for June, all the passengers on the plane, maybe less than 10, all were agents out to get Roy. She was the only civilian in the plane! I can't imagine how the other agents pulled that one off, buying off the entire flight just to get to Roy. Of course Roy is Tom Cruise and who could beat him right? In a twist of fate they survived the ordeal and June is back to her "normal" world, only to be pursued again by the agents that were after Roy. And Roy comes back to save her. This has been always the case, of Roy saving June.
At first the action in the first half was great. It was the transitions that somehow left us wanting to see what happened when June is blacked out. It wasn't just once she was blacked out and this happened a number of times. Once she wakes up, she's stuck in a new scenario and we are waiting for the next action sequence to come along and then all the screen blacks out again.
Maybe this is where the name of the movie was derived. Its night and day, she blacks out then awakes at another country or scene.
Tom Cruise was brilliant as always with his fight scenes and somehow Cameron Diaz offers complementary to this with her role. Although she can hold her own action scene (Charlie's Angels), she and Tom has somewhat of a connection that we liked.
Skip the ridiculous story line and plot twists, the movie enjoyable. Just don't put logic and sense into it. Simply be entertained.
Currently being shown in Amazon Prime.
