This film was so much more than the rom-com we somewhat expected it to end up being, with a lot more action. The two main reasons for this pleasant surprise? Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. There is no denying that this duo is made to light up the silver screen, especially since they do it swimmingly all by their lonesome, making them a brilliant pair together. Knight and Day follows secret agent Roy Miller (Cruise) on his quest to complete a mission he was never meant to. June (Diaz) gets wrapped up within and the result is a constant web of lies, romance and guns... lots of guns. There is no denying that whoever wrote this screenplay borrowed a thing or two from similar Cary Grant movies of the 1950s and 60s, like the classic Charade (alongside Audrey Hepburn). That said, we like his style.
Best on-screen moment: A scene near the film's beginning involving Miller kicking some butt while June chats herself up in the airplane bathroom, totally oblivious to the happenings in the aisle.
