Knight and Day


KNIGHT AND DAY (2010) - June 26, 2010
Kind of light on plot and character but still good fun, this was an enjoyable film about a woman who finds herself mixed up with a secret agent on the run.  Tom Cruise gives a really charismatic, charming performance (he probably hasn't had a role this lighthearted in well over a decade) and has good chemistry with Cameron Diaz.  James Mangold directs the over-the-top action with a (mostly) sure hand, and while the whole thing doesn't particularly add up to much, it's a fun ride.  ***
