Knight and Day Reviews
Having seen the film, I can only shake my head at the studio's optimism.

Knight and Day is a bit too long (one too many plot twists that made you just not care by the end) but it's fun though predictable thrill ride.
| Original Score: C- | Sep 9, 2017
Attempts to walk a delicate tightrope, simultaneously parodying and indulging in outrageous super-spy action, and fails in both endeavors.
| Original Score: C | Jan 5, 2011
A film to cheer audiences, 12 and slightly upwards, not seduce critics...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2010
Cruise's curious meta-thriller wears thin long before Knight-fall
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 8, 2010
It's not bad DVD entertainment, but as a big summer movie, it's a bit of a washout.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 6, 2010
About as memorable and entertaining as the last bath sponge I bought.

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz! Tom and Cam! Cruise and Diaz! Together again!
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 5, 2010
They make a fun duo, but none of the constituent genres work in this overbearing action-rom-com.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 5, 2010
Cruise, extravagantly tousled and cowlicked, resembles an action-man doll having a big hair day.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 4, 2010
Seven or eight years ago, maybe, this team-up might have been worth getting excited about.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 2, 2010
Directed at a breakneck pace and with a spry script, it ratchets up the stakes as its stars leap from stunt to outrageous stunt. After a few years without a hit, Cruise seems back in control.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 15, 2010
James Mangold counts Stanley Donen's Charade and Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest among his inspirations for Knight and Day and I'm still wondering why.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 14, 2010
One of the biggest mysteries of Knight and Day is figuring out who exactly the film is primarily for
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 8, 2010
Jumpy, unmotivated, and senseless.
| Jun 28, 2010
An action star who doesn't glower -- what a relief!
| Original Score: B | Jun 25, 2010
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.
| Original Score: C | Jun 25, 2010
The slick, proficient Knight and Day is proof that you should never count Cruise out.
| Jun 25, 2010
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.
