Summary Review:
Knight And Day is a watchable action movie that feels like a re-run of an old favourite.

Synopsis:
June Havens (Cameron Diaz) is rushing to get on a plane to arrive in time for her sister’s wedding when she accidentally bumps into Roy Miller (Tom Cruise).

June and Roy end up being on the same flight together, but June gets scared when everyone on the plane ends up dead and they start plummeting to the earth.

As it turns out, their meeting was not as coincidental as it seemed and June is dragged into a life-threatening

Knight And Day does not have anything new to offer. The plot is vapid and flimsy, just stringing along the different scenes.

The chemistry between Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is empty, failing to make you believe in any connection between their characters.

Although the many one-liners are sharp and the action is enjoyable – there are some excellent chase scenes – Knight And Day is nothing we haven’t seen before and compared to the special effects employed by every other action movie nowadays, it is quite disappointing.
