Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz! Tom and Cam! Cruise and Diaz! Together again!

Top Critic

Jumpy, unmotivated, and senseless.

Top Critic

By the finale, it's hard to shake the sense that the movie has already expired, and everyone involved [is] just trying to prop it up, "Weekend at Bernie's"-style, long enough to heave it over the 100-minute mark.

The people who made Knight and Day may think they're giving audiences what they want but what they're really saying is: This is what audiences deserve.

The slick, proficient Knight and Day is proof that you should never count Cruise out.

Knight and Day woke me up to just how awful some summer entertainments have become. It isn't that the film is harmful, except to moviegoers' wallets and movie lovers' morale, but that it is truly phenomenal for the purity of its incoherence.

Top Critic

Scattered and uneven, this action drama wastes a terrific Tom Cruise.

Big Hollywood

Fast-paced action sequences, coupled with the performances and O'Neill's script, make "Knight and Day" a fun film that will please fans of the action genre.

It's a calculated, artificial formula for box office success barely disguised as a story.

I'm just not feeling enough to really get worked up about what's wrong with it.

It's not a bad movie. It's not exactly a good movie, either, but it's got its moments. Knight and Day is a film about charisma and on-screen chemistry, but unfortunately not much else.

Joshua Starnes

ComingSoon.net

An incidental romance punctuated with out-of-one's-element humor and computer-assisted chase sequences, wholly weightless.

Jeffrey Chen

Window to the Movies

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

Lessons of Darkness

Cruise and Diaz both seem refreshed here -- both are at their charming best.

As a pure popcorn, dreams-writ-large, kiss-kiss-bang-bang, globetrotting romp, Knight and Day delivers. [Blu-ray]

A highly enjoyable, breezy action film. Cruise and Diaz are fun to watch.

Movie Metropolis

The action sequences go on too long and the reliance on CGI is often blatant, but Cruise's irrepressible zest and Diaz's ditsy charm pull the film through the rough patches.

Movie Talk

This action-comedy has its moments, but its flaws often outweigh the action spectacle and story.

R. L. Shaffer

IGN DVD

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

"Knight & Day" is absurd without being funny. It's also lacking in the onscreen chemistry department." Paul Chambers, CNN.

Knight and Day feels like the product of a different era. And no, I'm not just talking about the 1990s, when star Tom Cruise was a legitimate box office draw and not an ever-smiling kook with an uncanny knack for making people feel uncomfortable.

Reiser Mangold Noć i dan čini koliko-toliko gledljivim, ali ni toliko da bi dosegao uobičajene i niske standarde "neobavezne ljetne zabave".

A snappy comedy dressed up by its high voltage action sequences--in no small part thanks to the charisma of its' leads.

Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

Knight & Day is an adventure movie that pretends Jason Bourne never woke up with amnesia.

The Standard

A film to cheer audiences, 12 and slightly upwards, not seduce critics...

This is London

Diminishing returns eventually topple it, but not before Cruise has cemented one of his most relaxed and likeable performances in some time.
