Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
Knight and Day may well suffice for audiences desperate for the bankable paradox known as the predictable surprise, and willing to overlook a galumphing mediocrity in order to concentrate on matters of dentistry. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
It would also help if they were given some dialogue that was actually funny, or at least more clever than the lines provided to Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl in the distressingly similar "Killers" from earlier this month. Read full review

The New York TimesA.O. Scott
A loud, seemingly interminable, and altogether incoherent entry in the preposterous and proliferating “action-comedy” genre. Read full review

Village VoiceDan Kois
There's never been a particularly crisp line between intense, SUPER-AWESOME Tom Cruise and the characters he plays. In Knight and Day, his age-old cool curdles into motormouthed neediness. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
Cruise and Diaz have worked together before (in Vanilla Sky), but this is their first summer-movie pairing, and their star qualities are so similar--dazzling looks, good comedic chops, complete emotional vacuity--that together, instead of romantic chemistry they generate a sort of giddy, blinding falseness.

The New YorkerDavid Denby
We don’t ask for much from this kind of movie, but Knight and Day tramples on our desire for just enough plausibility to release the fun. It makes us feel like fools for wanting to be entertained by froth. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene Rodriguez
Too bad, though, that whenever the characters stand still to talk, Knight and Day induces stupor in the viewer. Read full review

Time OutKeith Uhlich
This smug and callous action-comedy is about nothing but teeth. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern
The source of this movie's energy is near-perpetual desperation. You can see it in Tom Cruise's fixed grin, and in the mad proliferation of unspecial effects. Read full review
