Nobody comments the San Fermin thing though... I am Spanish and, personally, I got really angry about that thing because, you know, if you are going to put something in the film which is typical in a country which is going to appear, at least do your fucking research and don't commit this massacre, man. Just a simple google search and they would have known San Fermin takes place at Pamplona, not at Seville. Besides, I found the film plain and boring. I wish my English teacher didn't make me waste my time with this film, when we could have seen a good one...
Such a bad film, flat acting, way too cliche` stupid Cameron Diaz and very very very stupid and farfetched story .... I don't know how anyone could rate this flick higher than 3/10.
Knight and Day looks for all the world like a fluff piece, an action romcom starring Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise, the latter trading on his Mission: Impossible persona, but it's a lot better than it looks! In fact, it's really very entertaining! Because it's a comedy, it allows itself to embrace the absurdity of big budget action movie stunts and go for broke. Cruise's rogue agent is impossibly good at the action stuff, and because we're not taking this very seriously, it's huge fun. Much of the comedy comes from his being slightly "off" when it comes to social interaction, a sort of savant when it comes to superspy work, but otherwise a little clueless. Diaz does a pretty good job and isn't always a damsel in distress. In fact, you can tell when they switch roles because the camera starts cutting out when HE'S unconscious, as opposed to when SHE is. A bit movie script 101 at the end there, but a nice roller-coaster ride you probably missed first time around.
When I first saw the trailer for this, I thought "Gaah, Cameron Diaz is screaming too much in this", but after finally watching the movie, I was positively surprised.
The action scenes are brilliant, and the humor isn't too much, as I feared it would be.

Diaz does a lot of squealing here, doesn't she. That's about the only thing she does - I certainly wouldn't call that convincing acting.Lycas666

Romantic Action Comedy with an ok premise & a good start but it soon loses it's way and really drags by the end. 5/10.Follow me on Twitter @LastFilmSeen

If you're in the mood for a typical hollywood action movie, you won't be disappointed. It's nothing special, but a lot of fun.NewBorn007
Great actors, nice director...awful movie.MrDoog
This one is underrated. It's ridiculous but fun and has enough good humour to keep it ticking over.Siskoid

Not bad. After the woeful reviews it got I had pretty low expectations but I found it refreshingly anti-seriuous and hilariously OTT.b2stbabe

'San FermÃn' in Sevilla..... Tom Cruise and friends doesn't get tired of laughting about Spain...CSSCHNEIDER
One of the few funny films to come out in 2010 infused with genuinely great action set pieces and a "Last Action Hero" vibe. Great stuff.jerthejerjer
I officially give this movie a "meh" out of four stars.roborob
