Knight and Day
Knight and Day
A fugitive couple goes on a glamorous and sometimes deadly adventure where nothing and no one – even themselves – are what they seem. Amid shifting alliances and unexpected betrayals, they race across the globe, with their survival ultimately hinging on the battle of truth vs. trust.

Nonstop fun and some of the most inspired action scene filming and spots I've seen in a while. The chemistry between Diaz and Cruise that was proven previously in Vanilla Sky is still firing on all cylinders in this film. And what I found to be the cherry on top of pure fun is that hidden beneath the adrenaline fueled veneer is a hopelessly romantic heart that contains to beat throughout it even with constant insurmountable obstacles.
I read some critics about they're being too many twists and I came away feeling like I had watched a different film because of the turns seemed superficial and never broke the film's integral romantic core. It's certainly not striving for realism. In fact, Knight and Day seems to be striving for the antithesis of realism with epic subjects not too unlike Orpheus and Eurydice.
