{5\/5} “‘They’ll tell you I’m mentally unstable and violent and dangerous and it will all sound very convincing.’ ‘I’m already convinced.'”<\/p>\n

Knight and Day<\/strong>, released in 2010<\/p>\n

June is going to her sister’s wedding. She runs into a handsome man named Roy at the airport a couple of times, and then ends up on the same flight as him. After she comes out of the washroom, he says that the pilots are dead. She thinks he’s joking, but he’s not. There weren’t many people on the plane, but they are now all dead — Roy tells her to fasten her seat belt and heads for the cockpit.<\/p>\n

The first 15 minutes of this movie are glorious perfection — funny and curious.<\/p>\n

I like the way Simon leaves a secret message for Roy on his wall.<\/p>\n

The plot goes as plots like this go, but it’s elevated by the humour, the acting, and some fine stunts.<\/p>\n

Gal Gadot has a small part.<\/p>\n

Stars Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, and Paul Dano. Directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line<\/strong><\/a>). The fast paced music is by John Powell.<\/p>\n

This is the 2nd time I’ve seen it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
