Movie Review: Knight and Day

4 stars

A great summer flick with non-stop action!

Rating: PG
Stars: Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Paul Dano, Peter Sarsgaard, Viola Davis

What’s the story?
Roy Miller (Cruise) is a lethal operative who is protecting the key to a limitless power source. At the airport he bumps into June Havens (Diaz), who is on her way to her sister’s wedding. The two end up on the same flight and little does she know that once the plane takes off, her life is going to take an unexpected turn.

Why see it?
Tom Cruise in a thrilling action movie, who wouldn’t want to see that? And the film definitely lives up to expectations. Cruise and Diaz portray their characters excellently as there is a believability factor in the performances. From airplane explosions to being chased by furious bulls, there is never a dull moment in the film. Furthermore, the two acting veterans exhibit great on-screen chemistry.

Problems:
The flow of the movie could be better as some scenes end abruptly. If you’re not a big fan of action movies and loud explosions this won’t be a movie that will be of interest to you.

All in all:
Knight and Day is the perfect recipe for a good night out. It’s a full course meal of exciting action with a side dish of sizzling romance.
