“…the summer flick you’ve been waiting for.” Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“…smug and callous…” Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York
It’s fun, clever, action-packed, romantic, and one of the summer’s best movies so far. Cruise and Diaz are perfectly cast in this action comedy as a mismatched duo inadvertently thrown together on a dangerous mission to keep a powerful device out of the wrong hands. Meanwhile, Diaz’s plucky but strong June must decide if she trusts Cruise’s lethal but charmingly protective secret agent. With its witty one-liners, the likability and chemistry between Cruise and Diaz, the beautiful international locales, and the exciting action sequences, Knight and Day is a welcome respite from the season’s stale sequels and vapid action flicks.
