KNIGHT AND DAY
USA
2010
108 minutes
A vintage cars restorer traveling back to her sister's wedding in Boston finds herself dragged by a mysterious secret agent into a whirlwind adventure. Lively but uneven screwball comedy in the guise of a tongue-in-cheek throwback to 1960s spy capers; stronger handling would have evened it out, as would a different, more easygoing male lead. Still, a smart time-passer.
Twentieth Century-Fox and Regency Enterprises present a Pink Machine/Todd Garner/Tree Line Film production; made in association with Dune Entertainment.
Starring Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz; Peter Sarsgaard, Viola Davis, Jordi Mollà, Paul Dano.
Directed by James Mangold; produced by Steve Pink, Todd Garner, Cathy Konrad; written by Patrick O'Neill; music by John Powell; director of photography (DeLuxe prints, Panavision), Phedon Papamichael; production designer, Andrew Menzies; costume designer, Arianne Phillips; film editors, Michael McCusker, Quincy Z. Gunderson; visual effects supervisor, Eric Durst.
Screened: distributor advance press screening, Castello Lopes screening room (Lisbon), July 1st 2010.
