The movie is entertaining, but could have been better. |

...kinetic, loose, and completely ludicrous, but also directed with efficient drive and ample humor. At a runtime circling the two-hour mark, it remains light on its feet even in its down moments, when it has to deal with the more inexorable mechanisms of its sub-Hitchcockian plotline. |
New York Post Lou Lumenick |

...one of those movies that requires you to accept that every single time a character is presented with a choice, he or she will make the worst and most inexplicable one. |

...the film's set pieces, banter, chase scenes, and central power dynamic between its male and female leads are all so ill-conceived and flat that the film never really pulls itself together. |

A loud, seemingly interminable, and altogether incoherent entry in the preposterous and proliferating “action-comedy” genre... |
Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan |

...hardly a perfect film, not even close, but it is the most entertaining made-for-adults studio movie of the summer, and one of the reasons it works at all is the great skill and commitment Cruise brings to the starring role. |

Here's hoping you really dig Tom Cruise, because Knight and Day throws a bunch of Toms at you. |

...the plot doesn't twist or turn so much as link one poorly orchestrated action setpiece to the next. |

...as is true of just about every movie these days that has a gun in it, [it] is a supersized kid pic. |

...a high-energy, low-impact caper-comedy that labors to bring a measure of wit, romance and glamour to an overworked spy-thriller template. |
