Knight and Day is just that fresh summer time flick that doesn’t overpower you with an incoherent or intricate plot but simply entertains you, providing that one element you need - Fun.
James Mangold, of Walk The Line and 3:10 To Yuma fame, never made his film look like ‘Inception’ in the previews and therefore, you get what you expect. A light entertainer that doesn’t strain your neurons and appeases the eyes with spectacular locations from around the world and some CGI enhanced, thrilling action sequences.
At 47, Tom Cruise gets to play the cool secret agent, capable of impossible feats, a rogue who is on the verge of turning evil and a half lover who always emerges as that indefatigable hero who walks upon rooftops.
In expressing the humorous scenes, Cameron Diaz feels well at home. Her countenance and spontaneity in situations make her look at ease in her role and perhaps that is responsible for creating such good chemistry between the actors.
At around 110 minutes, the film is well paced with some thrilling action sequences that are consumed faster than popcorn and never fail to excite and surprise. In the end, the humor, charm, spectacular locales and the exciting action keeps you engaged without the need for depth, intrigue or darkness. This is a summer time flick and the levity of it should be appreciated.
