Knight and Day

Knight and Day (Single-Disc Edition) I understand that "Roy" was birth-named Matthew Knight. It made sense. But Day? I have no idea where that comes from. Perhaps I simply wasn't paying enough attention, which is likely enough, because within just a few moments I knew this wasn't exactly a thinker.

This summer movie is just plain silly. Silly, silly, silly. I couldn't take it seriously for a moment. Although I enjoyed a few things, the stunts were all way over the top, the acting was good enough without being deep, and the plot itself moved quickly and relatively logically, the piece as a whole simply didn't have the capacity to hold anything more than the shallowest of entertainment.

For what it was, it was well-done, but I can't help wishing it were at least one thing of the many things it wasn't.

  1. The day didn't come from anything, at least as far as I know and I watched it twice. I liked it but I went in knowing that it wasn't going to be 'deep' or 'intense'. It was fun and silly without being ridiculous. And I felt that Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were excellent in it.

  2. It was fun, but sometimes fun just leaves me feeling empty. This film was one of those times. I wouldn't watch it again for less than fifty bucks.
