Knight and Day

Indescribably absurd. If you are willing to be entertained, amused and captivated by the ridiculous, albeit deadpan serious -- don't miss this movie. It is sheer entertainment. With star power at full volume, Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise are at their best (and that's pretty darn good!) . Not to mention Peter Skaarsgard who masters the role of sneaky, nasty, doublefaced villain to perfection. (And to think I used to like him!) A rollicking thrill ride with car chases galore, bodies dropping all over the place, our hero (or, could he really be a bad guy?) stopping in the midst of the multiple shoot outs to have a few words with Diaz, whom he has to periodically render unconscious for her own safety. Planes, trains, motorcycles; every spy cliche ever invented is marvelously incorporated. And there's actually a plot (espionage anyone?) unfolding in the midst of the fun and games. SP
