Critics Consensus

It's pure formula, but thanks to its breezy pace and a pair of charming performances from Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, Knight and Day offers some agreeably middle-of-the-road summer action.

This movie, possibly because general movies these days suck, has aged rather well. Cameron Diaz is a worthy match for Tom Cruise and does all the stuns with him. Funny movie and good action.

I just love it. Whenever it pops up on cable I can't refrain from watching at least 20-30 minutes again, though I have seen it many times in full already. Tom's charme and her sexappeal are there all the time.

Lately, I've been going back to watch big blockbuster action films I skipped when they originally came out and this Tom Cruise / Cameron Diaz action comedy was one of them. I skipped this because Tom Cruise seriously bugs me, even though I usually enjoy his movies despite him. In this film, Cameron Diaz plays a regular gal who gets mixed up with disavowed secret agent Tom and comedy ensures ALA BIRD ON A WIRE or MR. AND MRS. SMITH. Cruise's secret agent is similar to Peter Falk's character in THE IN-LAWS, where you weren't sure if he was telling the truth or just full of it. Directed by James Mangold, who'd previously made the excellent COP LAND and WALK THE LINE, and who would later go on to direct LOGAN and FORD V FERRARI, so we're in good hands, though the script doesn't offer much in terms of character or story and it mostly just goofy action. Overall, it's not bad, but it's certainly not a film I'll ever feel the need to revisit.

I think I saw a different movie than most reviewers. This is one of my favorite rewatchables! I've seen it a bunch and it always delivers a perfect blend of action and comedy. Diaz and Cruise are great together and I LOVE Tom Cruise's character, I've never see him play an action hero with a personality like this, light-hearted, empathetic and fun. How do you make an action movie with a rom com vibe? They did it. I guess its not a total crowd pleaser, but for me, 2 thumbs way up. The only weak spot, I thought, was Viola Davis. I think she is one of our greatest living actresses, but maybe she requires a character with more layers and depth, as I thought she came off kind of cheesy in this role. She's still among the best, but not here in my opinion. Everyone else and the story, the script, the whole thing, love it!

Very clean very fast very loose. Fun and goofy. Could be seen as an Ethan Hunt side quest.

Having seen the film, I can only shake my head at the studio's optimism.

Knight and Day is a bit too long (one too many plot twists that made you just not care by the end) but it's fun though predictable thrill ride.

Lessons of Darkness

Attempts to walk a delicate tightrope, simultaneously parodying and indulging in outrageous super-spy action, and fails in both endeavors.

It's the Hitchcockian "wrong man" theme played as a Hollywood action lark, all momentum and spectacle and no mortal risk or moral confusion...

Deep Focus Review

Though it won’t hold up under a closer inspection of the plot, its fast-paced nature supplies an almost perfect blend of laughs and action to the summer moviegoer.

Rated: 3/4

Knight and Day moves so fast it's not convenient to mull over where reality ends and the special effects begin. [Full review in Spanish]
