This somewhat below-the-radar Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz thriller seems to be attempting a True Lies vibe. The action looks focused and easy to follow, and both of the leads seem to be in their comfort zone and having fun. Oddly enough, this is actually somewhat of a change of pace for Cruise, as the Mission: Impossible series has been his only real foray into present-day action heroism. James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line) is helming this one, so there's little reason to doubt that it won't at least be rock-solid genre entertainment. And let's be honest, whatever you may think of Cruise's personal life, he hasn't made a truly bad film since Days of Thunder back in 1990. Knight and Day opens on July 2nd, 2010.
