Knight and Day


I decided not to do a full post on this movie because to be honest it didn't really deserve one. Remember when I said "The A Team" was the perfect action comedy...well this movie isn't. There was no chemistry between Cameron and Tom at all and rather than thinking about how good of an actor Tom is, I could only see him as the man he has made for himself in the public. It was hard to make the difference between real Tom and actor Tom, which is really sad. My advise to him, cool it with the press Tom and get the acting career back up to beat. The story line was a wreck, it was choppy, cheesy and to be blatantly honest, very boring. One scene where Tom slowly walks toward Cameron in slow motion through firing bullets to give her a kiss even made me cringe. I will give Tom the huge credit for doing all of his own stunts though. I watched the behind the scenes of some of his stunts and was truly amazed by what he does. And now for Cameron. I think its time for Cameron to accept the roles that she should be taking as she gets older. Sorry to say, but she can't keep pulling off the 20 year old ditsy blonde anymore. It just doesn't look right. She did such an amazing job as a mom in "My Sister's Keeper" and I would really like to see her tackle more challenging roles like that in the future. With such big names for one movie and such great promotion press, I was expecting another great action comedy but was quickly disappointed.

I give this movie a C.
