I have a moderate expectancy that any movie with Tom Cruise
in it will be good. This hasn’t always been true, but for the most part, if you
see him in it, you can figure on the movie to be worth watching and Knight and
Day is one of those movies.
Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) is a slick, charming, and adept
agent for a nameless government agency. June Havens (Cameron Diaz) is a car
mechanic innocently traveling home after buying car parts. She meets Roy and is
immediately attracted to him. Once she boards that airplane with Roy, her life
will never be normal again. Lurking in the shadows is Fitzgerald (Peter
Sarsgaard), the bad agent framing Roy for stealing secrets and selling them to
America’s enemies.
We’ve seen Cruise play the spy/agent many, many times. He’s
good at it and it shows. I was surprised to like this movie as much as I did.
For someone like me who doesn’t usually like Cameron Diaz, it’s very rare for
me to want to go out and buy a movie with her in it, but there are exceptions.
Miller is always one step ahead, even just barely in some
parts, and it’s a fun rollercoaster ride of action. The movie is fast-paced and
exciting. If you’re looking for an action movie that the wife will enjoy, score
this one. It’s cute to watch the “civilian” tag along the super spy.
