Knight and Day (2010)

Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise star in this all-out action comedy, with stunts galore and non-stop shooting.

Rogue agent Roy crosses paths with tom-boy mechanic June in an airport, where their two destinies entwine, with explosive results. Roy is being pursued by his former employer after stealing a "battery" that is self-energising, and can power a small city. He is also being hunted by arms dealers, who seek the power that this scientific development would entail. June becomes an accomplice simply by being on the same flight as Roy, and now she must attempt to outrun gun-ho agents, and evil gun-barons with the help of Roy.

A fun film, that delivers action, humour, pace, and excellent stunts (all performed by Cruise and Diaz themselves). Both leads are brilliant, and they provide A-Lister performances that are worthy of their reputations, and avoid the shiny mediocre output that we receive from so many big names.
