Knight and Day: The Movie
I saw a sneak preview of "Knight and Day" the movie. And Tom Cruise definitely does crazy on the edge in a believable way much better than most other actors. It seems to be his forte. Cameron Diaz complements his competent crazy secret agent with wonderfully eccentric car rebuilder who is building a 1960s GTO I believe. So both of them are pretty eccentric and really are meant for each other. The dialog is often going in two or more directions at the same time which can be pretty funny. In some ways there is a similarity between the movie "Killers" and the movie "Knight and Day" as far as crazy secret agents go. However, the dynamics between both couples is kind of different because "Killers takes place over 3 or 4 years whereas "Knight and Day" seems to take place between a few days to at most a few months. One is never completely sure (because I don't think we are told) how many days actually transpire from beginning to end. But I think from having seen it that the full time line couldn't have been over about a couple of months.However, I suppose it would be theoretically possible that all this could have happened within a couple of weeks. Either way I really liked "Knight and Day" and think the funny secret agent genre is going down a slightly different road than before and I find this slightly new road very funny and entertaining.
