Knight and Day

Category – Action romance ; Rating – 3 ; Comment – Easy watch entertainer!

Ok, the movie had the right mix for an entertainer….just watch easy!

Simple story (unlike movies which may require a lot of focus)
Great locations – Train on the alps, the tiny island, Spain and its famous bull fights…….ofcourse, Boston and NY!
Action – Cruise runs all over…..Diaz does all shooting anywhere and everywhere
Romance – Light and easy (if you excuse one dialogue of Diaz after she gets drugged in Spain, this definitely is a watchable movie for kids with no embarrassment for parents to answer questions like ‘ what does this #%$ mean?)
Good prevails over evil – easy moral to explain to kids (off late, i keep a watch on before i declare who is the bad guy when we watch movies with my kids !!)
Tom Cruise ( he looks his age in many frames)
Cameron Diaz (she also looks her age in many frames)

But honestly, I felt the highlight and crux is the dialogue by Miller ……… “Someday. That’s a dangerous word. It’s really just a code for ‘never’“……….There are lot of things we keep postponing thinking that some day we will do it…….this dialogue in the movie just hit that on the head!
