Knight and Day (2010)

My Review

Cameron Diaz is a classic car restorer who unwittingly get involved in international intrigue with Tom Cruise, a rogue secret agent on the run from his employers at the CIA in “Knight and Day.” Director James Mangold (“Cop Land” 1997) and screenwriter Patrick O’Neill put together an entertaining comedy-drama-action film that relies heavily on the winsome personalities of the two stars for success, and is backed up with fair writing and good production values.

The supporting cast includes Peter Sarsgaard, Viola Davis, Paul Dano, Maggie Grace, Gal Gadot, Jordi Molla, and Dale Dye. The watchable “Knight and Day” was a hit at the box office for Dune Entertainment, Regency Enterprises, Todd Garner Productions, Tree Line Film, and 20th Century Fox. Cruz and Diaz had previously appeared in two films together: “Vanilla Sky” (2001) and “Minority Report” (2002). It was filmed in Spain, Austria, Jamaica, as well as Boston and Los Angeles, USA.
