St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin Wilson
An action comedy that works. But it’s also a surprisingly poignant romance. This is the summer flick you’ve been waiting for. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
Diaz has one of the most winning grins in the movies. Basically, what I wanted was more of it. Some of that Cary Grant dialog. More flirtation. More of a feeling the characters, not the production, were the foreground. More of the stars. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'Sullivan
It's both straight-faced spy film and sly spy spoof. That's a difficult balancing act, but director James Mangold gets it exactly right. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
Diaz works that trademark mix of ditziness, sexiness, and brassiness. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
The movie is at its best when the audience is in the dark and, because our perspective is June's and she doesn't know what the hell is going on until well into the proceedings, that's when things are the most entertaining. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
In the end, Knight and Day isn't really about much of anything besides having a good time or perhaps the meaning of Tom Cruise-ness in the universe. Read full review

ObserverSara Vilkomerson
This movie will undoubtedly be compared to the Brangelina mashup Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and with good reason-it has the same combo of quips and physical tricks, the same somewhat overwhelming chemistry between its two leads. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
It's a quintessential movie hybrid: a romantic thriller with exciting high-speed chases, brisk comedy and exotic scenery. Read full review

Portland OregonianM. E. Russell
If you can settle into its odd, low-key groove, I think you'll find it's a light pop beverage that goes down easy during one of the lamest blockbuster summers in recent memory. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill Goodykoontz
How you feel about Knight and Day will depend largely on your feelings about Cruise. If you can't divorce his performance from his off-screen antics, well, that's a problem, here and elsewhere. If you're willing to watch what's on-screen and leave it at that, there's fun to be had. Read full review

Stylish, globe hopping, action-packed comedy that starts at full blast and never lets up. Read full review

Yet he just kept going and going, and the slick, proficient Knight and Day is proof that you should never count Cruise out. Read full review

MovielineStephanie Zacharek
Nothing Cruise does seems to come from the inside -- every eye crinkle, every grimace, every brow furrow seems plucked from the air, collected from the universe around him and bent to do his bidding. Maybe that’s one kind of acting. But it’s not cool. Never will be. Read full review

Orlando SentinelRoger Moore
The story is kind of all over the place, scatterbrained without being madcap (This one feels tinkered with, reshoots, re-edits.). Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
The movie’s a piece of high-octane summer piffle: stylish, funny, brainless without being too obnoxious about it, and Cruise is its manic animating principle. Read full review
