Movie Review: Knight and Day Action fans can breathe easy this week with the release of the latest Tom Cruise epic, Knight and Day. When car-restorer Julie Havens, played by Cameron Diaz, literally bumps into rogue secret agent Roy Miller (Cruise) at a Wichita airport, her life takes a sharp left turn. Roy, it seems, is in possession of a Zephyr, a prototype compact, powerful, perpetual energy source — essentially it’s a flashlight battery that never runs down; every handyman’s dream. And there are at least three different teams of bad guys who will do anything to get their hands on it. With the bad guys never far behind, the duo find themselves engaged in an almost relentless, exciting,
Davis, as Roy’s CIA Director boss, who has an agenda of her own. Knight and Day’s plot is as light as air — the dining equivalent would be Chinese food, momentarily sating your appetite, but leaving you hungry for more a couple of hours later. But that won’t detract from your enjoyment of this movie. It really is a lot of fun, and director James Mangold has crafted a funny, breakneck-paced and exhilarating diversion, that will keep you glued to the screen for every one of its 109 minutes.

and often humourous round-the-world pursuit. The action takes them from Wichita to Boston, New York, the Azores, Salzbourg, and finally, Spain. While engaging in a deadly cat and mouse game to ensure that the Zephyr’s power is used only for good, Julie and Roy learn a little about each other, and develop a grudging respect for, and — you guessed it — a profound attraction to one another. Cruise and Diaz are great together, but the combined wattage of their brilliant smiles may have you reaching for your shades. They’re joined by a great supporting cast, including Peter Sarsgaard as Fitzgerald, a sleazy agent who wants to sell the Zephyr to the highest bidder. They are also joined by Paul Dano as Simon, the nerdy boy-genius inventor of the device, and Viola
