KNIGHT AND DAY – CATCH IT ( B+ ) Knight and Day, well I've been waiting for this movie ever since it's in the making and when it came out, I heard the negative reviews. I was surprised as it has the biggest stars of Hollywood it can't be that bad. After watching the movie now I know why critics are so negative about it because the script or story line of the movie is really childish. You don't expect such plot line from Tom Cruise or Cameron Diaz. Still it doesn't mean it doesn't work, it actually work perfectly because once you get the story it's easy to buy the movie further. Knight and Day starts off really confusing and unrealistic plus the plane crash and then car chase sequences seems over the top. (Though they were brilliantly shot). Later on there are nonstop action sequences and the end action sequence within the Bull race in Spain is just simply Jaw Dropping. Tom Cruise is charismatic and Cameron Diaz is cheerful and their chemistry is the total base of the movie. Maggie Grace, Marc Blucas, Paul Dano, Viola Davis were wasted and Peter Sarsgaard is OK as always. (I always found him incredibly boring actor) They make it work big time plus the heavy larger than life action sequences makes it really treat to watch. I think if they worked a little more on the story it could have been a brilliant entertainer like Mr. and Mrs. Smith but still nonetheless it is quite entertaining. Watch it you won't disappoint and Tom Cruise haters should take rest now, leave him Alone!
