Review of Knight and Day

A very funny and entertaining film. Tom Cruise is a fantastic actor and he does comedy so well, he should do more! What you must remember is that this is a quasi comedy, so you will get some ridiculous action sequence where you're left thinking, " how the hell did they survive that?" The film has beautiful locations that enhance the film and some impressive action pieces. This film is further enhanced with the knowledge that Tom Cruise did many of his own stunts, and unlike Salt with Angelina Jolie, you can believe that he can do that. The story does touch on a pressing matter, the search for everlasting energy and what you would do to keep it.. and as usual the US tries to keep it for themselves, typical! Cameron Diaz has redeemed herself after the Charlies Angel film, her comedic timing was outstanding... and I got to mention the post- its,  a funny touch.This film had me laughing so hard, the only cheesy line was, when the were in Seville on the bike and Cruise says to Diaz's character," June, you got skills". The twists though out the film were good as they kept you guessing and also trying to figure out who's telling the truth. The bit at the end with Roy Millers family made empathise with his character more, the things he had to give up, but the way he still looks after his family is sweet.
