Knight And Day Film Review

Cameron and Tom in Seville amid the running of the bulls! Yikes!
The Plot: Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) is a secret agent involved in a deadly federal investigation and he accidently involves June Haven (Cameron Diaz), a hopeless romantic who is en route to her sisters wedding. Once June is brought into the chaos, both Roy and June find themselves being chased and must work together to not be killed. But in such a deadly game the most important thing between these two strangers is that June trusts Roy, but can she trust him?
My opinion: I saw this film last night and wasn't expecting too much, especially from Cameron Diaz. I mean don't get me wrong, I used to love her before The Holiday and The Box but lost faith during The Holiday due to her scenes alone when she would talk to herself in a cheesy way, whilst Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black made the film very watchable and romantic. Just as I predicted, in Knight and Day, she was as cheesy as ever with yet even more scenes of her having a one person conversation in a mirror or in a car for example. This issue actually wasn't too bad as the film was quite lighthearted and fun so I will let this minor irritation slide. Cameron is very funny and looks fabulous as always. The guys will love the bikini scenes as much as the girls will love Tom Cruise's topless scenes! Both of them really do work out! Tom cruise in particular did most of his own stunts in this film. Cruise is brilliant: He is funny, a great actor and lovable. His scenes with Cameron worked well and their onscreen chemistry was sweet and fun.
Best scene/s: Definitely the scenes where Roy drugs June. I was in absolute stitches in the cinema.
Rating: 3.5/5 It is a great action rom-com and it is definitely better than the likes of the Bounty Hunter and some of the other stuff I have seen released recently (sorry Gerard Butler and Jen Aniston, I love you both but switched it off half way through!)
Venue: The Showcase cinema towards Batley, Leeds (just off the M621) was actually very quiet on a Monday night at around 7pm. It was nice and there is also a student discount if you have a valid NUS card. A whole pound less! The snacks, in total, cost as much as the tickets and we shared a drink but the food is still slightly cheaper than the Vue cinemas in Kirkstall and The Light Leeds. All in all, a good night and, although we passed it up last night , there is a Nandos just next door :-)
