'Knight and Day' reaches goal of trying to be enjoyable

Looking for some summer fun? Then "Knight and Day" is the perfect movie. While it isn't all that special or memorable, it's enjoyable, and that's all it tries to be.

"Knight and Day" follows June Havens (Cameron Diaz) and her adventures with Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) after an accidental meeting at the airport. June is your typical girl-next-door who's on her way to her sister's wedding when she literally bumps into ex-CIA agent Roy, though she has no clue at the time.

After boarding the plane, which is coincidentally full of bad guys trying to kill Roy, he shoots all the passengers except for June and they crash land on an empty field. June now is suddenly thrust into Roy's spy world of car chases, gun fights, exotic locations, witty banter, and lots, I mean lots, of action. Sounds like a bit much, doesn't it? That's because at times it is.

Though the film might not be amazing, its lead actors certainly were. Cruise was a delight to watch. He was charming, and with a string of action movies behind him, looked perfectly at home with a gun and pulling off stunts left and right in some intense action scenes. He did a great job in this role as a surprisingly polite, yet extremely deadly spy who looks great in sunglasses.

Diaz also brought a certain something to her role as June, keeping up with Cruise very well. She additionally really helped to bring the romance into the movie.

Unfortunately, the rest of the cast wasn't nearly as enjoyable to watch. In fact, they were bland, none sticking out with a particularly stunning performance.

The bottom line is: "Knight and Day" is far from perfect and definitely isn't Oscar material, but who really cares? It is what it is, which is a fun, humorous summer flick with action, mystery, comedy and even a little romance.

It is probably worth a rental once the film comes out on DVD.
