"This is weird."Knight and Day is a big, daft, enjoyable old-school romantic thriller, complete with 'exotic' locations, a MacGuffin and the use of truth serum!
The film is carried by the committed professionalism of Cruise and Diaz and their seemingly effortless charm, with surprisingly strong support from the likes of Marc Blucas, Viola Davis and Paul Dano in relatively minor but notable roles. John Powell's excellent score would not be out of place in a much more deliberate (and 'cool') thriller. There is some lively (and authentic-looking) stunt work, and whilst the film clearly has no idea whether it wants to be a frothy caper or a serious thriller, its breezy disregard for gaping plot-holes makes Knight and Day an entertaining romp overall.
