Critics Consensus

It's pure formula, but thanks to its breezy pace and a pair of charming performances from Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, Knight and Day offers some agreeably middle-of-the-road summer action.

Having seen the film, I can only shake my head at the studio's optimism.

Knight and Day is a bit too long (one too many plot twists that made you just not care by the end) but it's fun though predictable thrill ride.

Attempts to walk a delicate tightrope, simultaneously parodying and indulging in outrageous super-spy action, and fails in both endeavors.

It's the Hitchcockian "wrong man" theme played as a Hollywood action lark, all momentum and spectacle and no mortal risk or moral confusion...

3/4

Though it won’t hold up under a closer inspection of the plot, its fast-paced nature supplies an almost perfect blend of laughs and action to the summer moviegoer.

Knight and Day moves so fast it's not convenient to mull over where reality ends and the special effects begin. [Full review in Spanish]

A terrific pairing of two great actors. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz have fantastic chemistry that makes this movie endlessly fun to watch. The cinematography is beautiful, the action scenes are exciting without being overdone, and the music score fits the tone perfectly. The plot keeps things moving with just the right balance of humor, romance, and spy-thriller energy. I especially enjoy seeing Tom Cruise in roles like this — he brings charm, intensity, and humor all at once. This is one of those films I’ll happily rewatch anytime it’s on. In fact, I’m watching it again right now (February 2, 2026), and it still holds up. Just a genuinely entertaining movie from start to finish.

It's a little cringe, it's right on the line between a bad movie and a banger but something about it just clicks better than your average movie. Maybe it's the casting choices, maybe it's the cinematography. Something about this movie is magical.

This movie is at the top of my action/comedy list. Think of Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, but comical. This movie is great from beginning to end. Highly recommend Knight and Day as my number one action/comedy movie!!!

If you like movies where the woman character is helpless and clueless and being led my the man the whole time then this is for you.

Really well done. Yeah, it is cheesy, dumb and over the top. There is a plot mcguffin like any spy flick, and it isn't anything special. But Cruise generally makes really good movies, and he doesn't disappoint here with a spoof of his Ethan Hunt persona. The movie in no way takes itself seriously, has lots of great action scenes, is fast paced and breezy. You won't learn anything about yourself, but you will be entertained.
