Knight and Day
Grade: B-
Knight and Day stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. He’s a spy and she’s the regular girl who gets caught up in and dragged along for some top-secret caper he’s working on. We’re led to believe that he’s a rogue agent, and insane, and going by his actions this would not be a bad guess. But, hey, he’s Tom Cruise. So we never really buy it. And then there’s Cameron, acting ditzy, we’ve seen this character before. There’s an attraction, but we never really buy it either. The story is interesting, and well-executed – but I think the movie would have been more successful overall if the casting had been different. |
