Knight and Day(2010)**

Two Stars!Yes That many stars for the biggest blockbuster to show...well atleast at our local cinemas this summer.
See Trailer:



Trailer is awesome,isnt it?
Makes you want to run to the cinema and watch the film.Plus it plays a Muse song in the background(Uprising-Amazing song,but then all muse songs are). How could I resist it?
Turned out, I could have resisted it! very easily too.

The Plot of the movie revolves around Tom Cruise character,Roy, a rogue C.I.A agent agent safeguarding a priceless battery...Yes, you heard that right: a BATTERY!
Ok well its a tiny battery created by wacky inventor Simon Feck (Dano) that is apparently "the first perpetual energy source since the sun." Tom C is saving it from unspecified foreign bad guys who speak immaculate English one minute,then lapse into "where iz deee batteree" when their cover is blown.
Joining Tom Cruise in this epic action/comedy is Peter Sarsgaard, Viola Davis, Paul Dano and Jordi Molla and ofcorse the Female lead,and the Bubbly blonde extrodinaire, Cameron Diaz as June Havens.

Throughout the movie the plot spins out of control with June and Roy getting tangled up in the whole saving-the-battery drama and keeps the viewers engrossed though banal dialogue and gun action thrown here and there.
The movie also keeps changing locations every fifteen minutes.So you get to see scenes shot in Boston! Salzburg! Seville! AND some un-named exotic islands.


The movie has everything that a summer blockbuster needs; car chases, motor cycle chases, gun battles, hand to hand fighting, exotic locales…Tom Cruise acts his usual annoying/charming self and Cameroz Diaz as the perfect damsel in distress who keeps getting herself into trouble and waiting for her “Knight” without any shiny Armour to rescue her.
Good for a one time watch.Will provide a few laughs here and there too, thanks to Cameron Diaz Ditzy blonde act.

Although the story line is full of action scenes , I guess the writers didn’t think us viewers deserved anything more than that; every time the good guy and the bubbly blonde are in a fix,he DRUGS her and then escapes...so we dont know how exactly he keeps escaping from high security safehouses because ,well,he drugged her when they got caught and when she wakes up, she is safe and sound after the ingenious escape.Which shows how clever the script was.Very convenient for the writers.
In the end the priceless battery somehow transforms into a bomb blowing up the bad guys helicopter in which they are escaping.
Bubbly blonde and Awesome agent get together and live happily ever after.
Oh wait did I just give away the ending?

Sorry,my bad, but you knew that already didn’t you? It’s a feel good movie.So it was supposed to end like that :P



P.S. Tom Cruise is OLD! Even that shirtless six-pack scene wouldn't make me drool over him.And thats just Sad!Mostly he looked like a creepy-middle-aged guy.So I guess Cameron D suited him just fine with all her own wrinkles.
