Knight & Day
A scatterbrained young woman meets a mysterious agent being chased by the FBI.
Image galleryAt the airport on her way to her sister's wedding, the pretty but scatterbrained June literally runs into the mysterious, dark and handsome Roy. They end up on the same flight, where June starts to fall for him and goes to the lavatory to redo her make-up, returning to find Roy has killed a half dozen passengers and the pilots of the aircraft. Amazed to have survived the massacre and the subsequent crash landing, June soon discovers that Roy is being chased by armed FBI agents and that he has a small object in his possession that could change the world...
Comedy stuffed with completely unrealistic but hilarious action scenes; the first half hour is especially worth seeing. Director James Mangold, maker of the excellent Cop Land, Girl, Interrupted, Walk the Line and 3:10 to Yuma, lets his talent shine in the first scenes that take place in the airplane. Cameron Diaz is irresistible as the dipstick and Tom Cruise nicely makes fun of himself as the superagent. A pleasant and entertaining bit of fun for the general public!
