June has a garage in Boston. At an airport heading home, a man bumps into her a few times and tries to keep her off the plane. He's under FBI surveillance; they wonder if he and she are working together, so they let both on a flight full of armed men wanting to arrest the stranger. He's Roy, he shoots his way out of trouble and tells her she's in danger. She's home the next day, miraculously, when agents pick her up; Roy saves her again, and a transcontinental chase ensues with Roy convincing her that he's the good guy, protecting an energy source that a rogue agent wants to sell on the black market. Can she trust Roy, and will trust matter when the bullets start flying? A young woman gets mixed up with a disgraced spy who is trying to clear his name. To think, all of the action that takes place in the Summer blockbuster bait of "Knight and Day" is because of a special kind of battery. Cameron Diaz works her charm as an auto mechanic; her garage primarily focuses on restoring old classic cars. She meets Tom Cruise, special agent, at the airport, gets a ticket on board a flight containing an entire crew and passenger manifest consisting of shadowy assassins attempting to retrieve the battery—not to mention, eliminate Cruise who becomes "solitary killing machine" when Diaz hits the lady's room.<br/><br/>The rest of the movie has poor Diaz mixed up in Cruise's global cat and mouse with the company he was once employed with, FBI or CIA, some sort of governmental entity which trains special agents and assigns them tasks and operations to perform.<br/><br/>"Knight and Day" is standard absurd escapist fare designed to cater to a crowd expecting thrills while munching on popcorn. Cruise's agent can accomplish stunning feats like multi-tasking when "the enemy" is after him, such as keeping his equilibrium in check despite having to shoot different weapons while on the top of cars as a number of people are firing machine guns in his direction. <br/><br/>His motorcycle ride with Cameron as his passenger through the streets of a Spanish city during the "running of the bulls" and how Cruise constantly avoids certain death while people are chasing him is as preposterous and exciting as it gets. There are plenty of James Bond type heroics for Cruise here, but, to be honest, he's essentially sliding into the vacant chair Sly and Arnold filled during the 80s and 90s. The violence to those Cruise annihilates is shot in a manner befitting a larger viewing audience, no graphic bloodshed, despite the climbing body count and use of artillery. <br/><br/>"Knight and Day" has the stunning locations typical of a globe-trotting action movie, such as a train in the Alps or the many places in Spain. Perhaps the biggest action sequence occurs in Boston, where Diaz' character lives.<br/><br/>Sub-plots include Diaz preparing for her sister's nuptials and discovering Cruise's parents home (they believe he's dead), Paul Dano's misfit genius who invented the batter constantly in peril with Cruise his protector (although, Cruise treats him like a big brother), Peter Sarsgaard as the agent out to catch Cruise (he's actually the villain who wants the battery and framed Cruise as the "rogue agent" who betrayed his government), and Jordi Mollà as Antonio, also wanting the battery because of its value, using the many Spanish henchmen as his disposal in order to do so. <br/><br/>Diaz finds herself knee-deep in espionage inadvertently, even one point having herself kidnapped by Antonio so that she can reunite with Cruise when they are separated. One funny scene has Diaz drugged by Antonio with a truth serum so that she can unveil the location of the battery, but all it does is cause her to ramble about everything except what he desires (it gets even funnier when Cruise storms Antonio's compound to rescue her and she admits they would probably have great sex!). <br/><br/>"Knight and Day" has the usual mixture of romance, comedy, and ridiculous superhuman abilities of its hero (and heroine, since Diaz even performs some pretty impressive feats such as driving a car from the back seat while hunching over a dead driver while Cruise is dangling from different areas of the vehicle, not to mention, shooting a gun while sitting in Cruise's lap as he is driving the motorcycle through crowded streets and alleys with constant gunfire aimed right at them) we expect from a movie designed to target a large opening weekend during the summer. <br/><br/>Sarsgaard, a fine actor, is really on auto-pilot here, not asked to do much except connive and plot his strategy for getting the battery. Cruise has several scenes (including the flight from Wichita and on board the train, where he must combat highly skilled assassins) where he must use Jason Bourne type martial arts skills.<br/><br/>The use of a knock-out drug which subdues Diaz (and even Cruise at the end) so that Cruise can keep her from hysterics is an interesting device which shows a skewed perspective from the point-of-view of the one under its influence, how she can visualize (in a haze) certain moments awakening for brief intervals, before finally returning to a lucid state (it also allows the director to avoid showing how Cruise gets Diaz out of a seemingly impossible trap with a veritable army of Antonio's men in a warehouse and to an island "off the grid"). We have already seen Tom cruise play a spy in a lot of movies and here again he does the same. If you want more of him as a spy then that is exactly what you are gonna get in this one. The movie is not bad and has good comedy, but it's not great either. It is something that you can describe as good enough and thats the only negative aspect that matters because we expect great things from him and his movie. We do not want some just good enough experiences. The story is kind of all over the place, scatterbrained without being madcap (This one feels tinkered with, reshoots, re-edits.). Classic car restorer June Havens (<a href="/name/nm0000139/">Cameron Diaz</a>) literally bumps into FBI covert agent Roy Miller (<a href="/name/nm0000129/">Tom Cruise</a>) in the Wichita (Kansas) airport while boarding her flight back to Boston. Turns out that Roy is also on her flight, and everything they do from there turns June's life topsy-turvy as they become involved in an attempt to hide the Zephyr, a superbattery that can power a small city and never runs out of energy, and to protect its inventor, Simon Feck (<a href="/name/nm0200452/">Paul Dano</a>). Unfortunately, Roy has been accused of going rogue, and both he and the Zephry are being sought by CIA director Isabel George (<a href="/name/nm0205626/">Viola Davis</a>), FBI agent John Fitzgerald (<a href="/name/nm0765597/">Peter Sarsgaard</a>), and Spanish arms dealer Antonio Quintana (<a href="/name/nm0003244/">Jordi Mollà</a>), as well as various other "bad guys" and assassins. Knight and Day is credited to American screenwriter Patrick O'Neill, although he wrote the screenplay as a spec, and it was added to by numerous other screenwriters, including Scott Frank, Laea Kalogridis, Ted Griffin, Dana Fox, and Simon Kinberg. Originally, the movie was going to be titled Wichita, then changed to Trouble Man before being released as Knight and Day. The title is a play on "night and day", an English idiom used to describe two things that are polar opposites of each other, as are June and Roy. It makes an additional play on words by changing the spelling from "night" to "knight" in that Roy's actual birthname is Matthew Knight, he purchases a small knight figurine at the beginning of the movie that plays a larger role as the story unfolds, and he rescues June from her rather drab existence as would a "knight in shiny armor". Some astute viewers have even noted that Cameron Diaz's last name can be spelled "dias", which translates from Spanish to English as "day". Others point out that the movie focuses on the things that Roy hopes to do "some day", which Roy has learned to translate as "never". After doing so, Fitz says to himself, "Always the classics, Roy." He is referring to the Alfred Hitchcock classic mystery <a href="/title/tt0030341/">The Lady Vanishes (1938)</a> (1938) in which a lady (who ultimately vanishes) writes her name in the condensation on a dining car window on a train. In the morning, after the lady vanishes, her new acquaintance in the dining car tries to find her, but everyone denies ever knowing her, even though they all spoke to her in full view of the new acquaintance the night before. Being told that she is hallucinating from a blow to the head the previous day, the new acquaintance satisfies her own sanity by breathing on the window where she sees the lady's name appear. It is also used with the same effect in <a href="/title/tt0408790/">Flightplan (2005)</a> (2005) in which a woman's daughter, who later goes missing, draws a heart on the window of their airplane. Somewhat interestingly, <a href="/name/nm0765597/">Peter Sarsgaard</a>, who plays Fitz in this movie, also played the lead male role in Flightplan. Despite Simon's objections, Roy tosses the Zephyr to Fitzgerald. Fitz shoots Roy in the shoulder and then boards a seaplane waiting to take him to Quintana. Feck explains to Roy that the battery is actually unstable. As they watch the plane climb, the Zephyr explodes, killing Fitz. Roy collapses from his wound, and June accompanies him on the flight-for-life. He wakes up in a Washington D.C. hospital with CIA Director Isabel George at his side. She thanks him for "cleaning house" and apologizes for trusting the wrong man. Roy asks about June, and Isabel explains that they sent her home with the understanding that she and Roy are too different to spend their lives together and that Roy is valuable to the agency only as long as he stays focused. She also tells him that he'll be transferred tomorrow to a secure facility for his safety, and then she leaves. As Roy lies on his bed, pondering his circumstances, a nurse comes into the room with his medication, which he drinks. He suddenly begins to feel whoozy and asks the nurse what she gave him. "Brotine-zero," she replies, while turning around. Roy sees that it is June before he begins to pass out. June wheels him out of the hospital on a gurney and into her waiting GTO. When he wakes up, Roy finds himself dressed in shorts, on a beach with June, and heading for Cape Horn. "What day is this?", he asks June, and she replies, "Someday." In the final scene, the Knights receive two tickets to Cape Horn that they didn't order, but Mrs Knight (<a href="/name/nm0922927/">Celia Weston</a>) assumes that Mr Knight (<a href="/name/nm0245653/">Dale Dye</a>) forgot that he ordered them on the Internet, just like all those other unordered Publisher Clearinghouse and lottery tickets that keep coming in. Cape Horn is at the southernmost tip of South America. It forms the northern boundary of the Drake Passage, a waterway between Chile and Antarctica, once the only way ships could get from the Atlantic side of the Americas to the Pacific side (and vice versa) until the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914. The climate is generally cool, rainy, and highly windy, not the kind of place for lolling on the beach. The movie is not very clear about this, so viewers have debated both sides of the question. Some conclude that her parting comment to Roy about taking him to "a secure location for his safety" is an alert to the audience that using those words "secure" and "safe" are sure indications that she means to have him killed, making her one of the "bad guys". At the very least, most viewers agree that the CIA has no intention of letting Roy leave the agency, since he's their best agent. Others argue that the director may actually have been a "good guy", helping June sneak Roy out of the hospital, hoping he would get the message and simply leave the country, in essence sponsoring his retirement because of what he did to protect Simon and the Zephyr as well as weeding out the corrupt agents like Fitzgerald. We do know that nothing bad happened to Simon (he was given a new lab) or Roy's parents (they were given tickets to join him in Cape Horn), so it's doubtful that the CIA had any evil intentions against Roy. "Differente" by Gotan Project. Lately, as a matter of routine, an extended cut has been produced and released for the home market and its worth it. By now, outside the US, both versions—the extended and the theatrical—have been released on BD and on DVD. An additional action sequence has been integrated, the character of June has got more background and some combat scenes have been extended by some tougher takes in the extended version. The 7 minutes more running time arent exorbitant verbosely but rather enhance the already entertaining movie. a5c7b9f00b Not a War Story malayalam movie downloadFlashback hd mp4 download24: Conspiracy movie download in hdthe Underdog downloadThe Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift full movie download in hindiRandom Stop full movie online freeRadicals tamil pdf downloadMurphysLaw movie in tamil dubbed downloadX-Men: Dark Phoenix full movie in hindi 1080p downloadGangster Empire: Rise of the Mob hd full movie download
