This film was on TV while I was having dinner and while I had different plans, I ended up watching it through the end. Starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, it's an action comedy that provides an incredibly dumb and fun experience.

The leads were fantastic in their roles, being able to fill the presence with their charisma. The chemistry between them was fun to watch and I think it managed to avoid quite falling into the realm of cliche. It had enough uniqueness and sillliness to it that I had no issue, though June's character was certainly very... dated.

The action was great, but the CGI not so much. No in between. Over the top and an absolute blast, but anytime the film had to rely on anything but practical effects, it dropped the ball hard. I can think of one explosion in particular that looked like it was made after watching one Youtube tutorial. It was glaring the times it did appear, but thankfully that was not enough to ruin the joy that was the rest.

Action comedy through and through, an unashamed example of the genre that has so much fun with its silly premises. It makes as much sense as it needs to, beyond that its ridiculousness knows no limits. The running gags were lovely and took me off guard each time. I believe this is the area that "Knight and Day" excels the most at, and I am glad they never ruined it with unnecessary drama. There was some, don't get me wrong, but only so the plot kept going, they never ruined the light tone.

"Knight and Day" is so joyfully stupid, I wouldn't mind rewatching it. There's nothing too special to it, I simply think it is highly entertaining. Go watch it with someone to have a good time, that's all I have to say.
