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

4 ...a galumphing mediocrity...

6 ...could have been a lot better with a shorter run time and a stronger ending...

6 ...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
4 ...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.
Slant Magazine
Simon Abrams
5 ...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.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
6 ...rises or falls on how you feel about the body-and-soul chemistry between Cruise and Diaz...

6 ...an oddly uninvolving caper...

3 A loud, seemingly interminable, and altogether incoherent entry in the preposterous and proliferating “action-comedy” genre...
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
6 ...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.
People
6 Here's hoping you really dig Tom Cruise, because Knight and Day throws a bunch of Toms at you.

2 ...a hyperactive, joyless thriller...

4 ...the plot doesn't twist or turn so much as link one poorly orchestrated action setpiece to the next.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
5 ...as is true of just about every movie these days that has a gun in it, [it] is a supersized kid pic.
Variety
Justin Chang
5 ...a high-energy, low-impact caper-comedy that labors to bring a measure of wit, romance and glamour to an overworked spy-thriller template.
