What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's pure formula, but thanks to its breezy pace and a pair of charming performances from Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, Knight and Day offers some agreeably middle-of-the-road summer action.

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

Reel Talk Online

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.

Rated: C-

Nick Schager

Lessons of Darkness

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

Rated: C

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

Deep Focus Review

Though it won’t hold up under a closer inspection of the plot, its fast-paced nature supplies an almost perfect blend of laughs and action to the summer moviegoer.

Rated: 3/4

Knight and Day moves so fast it's not convenient to mull over where reality ends and the special effects begin. [Full review in Spanish]

Mike C Pure entertainment for anyone who likes Cruise charisma or Diaz charm. Nice mix of action, comedy, and star power. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Thomas C Ridiculously underrated. A breezy good time that should've gotten better reviews. It's better than the overpraised Pitt/Jolie Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Tom Cruise shows that he can do comedy as well as any leading man out there. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review George P The plot is silly, but the cast gelled to make an escapist film that I have now enjoyed watching several times. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Octavio A Why are so many people critical of a movie? Theaters were only used to give people the experience of what air conditioners could do. Now movies have to make you ponder about our place in the world and yet have to be rooted in reality? The movie gave me joy and made me laugh, and for about almost 2 hours I could forget about our grim reality and how funny certain situations can be, no matter how “unrealistic” they may be. You want a fun time with someone else, put this on and be amazed at how fast some things can happen in this movie. I’m glad I can stream it on Max right now because when it’s gone, you’ll wish you can watch it. I may just buy this movie in a physical format. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review alan g Waste of Tom Cruise. Cameron Sleaze is her usual crap and brings the movie down. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Daniel W I've actually seen this movie about 7 or 8 times. It's enjoyable and entertaining. This is what I would call an action-comedy and Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are a great pair. It's one of those movies that's definitely worth watching at least once.
