....a 10, yes TEN, for entertainment.. a great escape!!
Before I say anything else, I have to say I have NEVER been a fan of Tom Cruise, and I was never crazy about Cameron Diaz either. But wow!!! this film rocks solid. I am glad I saw it because outside of "Collateral" Tom Cruise has NEVER impressed me. I have a lot of respect for Tom if he can make films as entertaining as Knight and Day. I think Tom's strength as an actor lies in the suddenness of the change in his character and (in Knight and Day) Tom makes even the incongruence of his lines work brilliantly. For example Tom's lines bang in the thick of the highway chase are the coolest!! Knight and Day rocks solid because it never stops.
Knight and Day is a thriller and comedy-romance all rolled into one, and doesn't PRETEND to be either because it doesn't take itself too seriously. The chemistry between Cameron and Tom sparkles (or I am no judge of chemistry). In the first 15 minutes the pace of the film changes from ordinary to mind-blowing. I totally loved the split personality thing that happens when Cameron is in the toilet and out. And Cameron's reflections when she is in the toilet, esp. the line about the reflexes..so on message...because I was thinking the very same thing.
I don't know what it was about the dialogue but I thought it was sharp and funny :-), and Cameron and Tom made it fun. Tom has great and funny lines like "what number do you like?!!" (my quote may be a little off). They don't make entertainment like Knight and Day too often. So grab it while you can.
After the first hour or so the film loses steam a TAD but picks it right up as soon as Cameron starts to see things clearly beginning with the motor-bike ride.........
Great non-stop entertainment....the film unquestionably earns it's stripes...if you are ever looking for a fun film which has that special something going for it, including dialogue (...okay lines) then Knight and Day is for you.
