Knight and Day movie review

Somehow, Tom Cruise's movies always entice me. I always anticipate a blockbuster, knowing that he's one of the most famous people in the world. He always did brooding characters... and that's what I'm used to whenever he's on screen. Unfortunately, I foolishly expected the same thing.

Yeah, it's obviously an action movie, but not quite I expected. It's also a comedy -- an info that failed to register into my brain as I watch it. Maybe that's one reason why I feel like the movie was inconsistent in some parts and the excitement for the scenes were barely there. And yes, this maybe why some comments from the internet weren't really kind; they didn't get it that this was supposed to be an action-comedy, but's not their fault, the movie failed to emphasize it. The action scenes were exhilarating enough for entertainment. The comedy was definitely there but couldn't pass its mediocrity. The first parts were a bit boring, the middle was just ok, the end was at times confusing but a little over the top. Although I gotta hand it to Tom, he looked really young and the hair cut made him a little swoon-able for the ladies. Cameron..well, she's just Ok but I can't help it stare at her wrinkles (oh man! I'm a meanie! >_<)

Rating:

6.8/10 

Probably wouldn't watch it again for a long time.

Tom did better comedy in Tropic Thunder.
