Knight & Day Brings Heartfelt Emotion

By Darrell Dorsey

Imagine two people with completely separate agendas in their life crossing paths because they need one another. This only happens in movies like Knight & Day where two random people happen to meet at a moment in time where fate has intertwined them. He turns out to be her knight as the title indicates, yet the characters also happen to be so different that the implied comparison between night and day is also apparent.

Being on the run is not an easy thing for the characters in the movie. No one wants to get caught, yet around every corner lurks someone who's waiting for them. They try to escape as they are being chased for possession of the item they have that the bad guys shown appear to want.

Two strangers who are drawn together in a time of crisis end up developing a bit of a relationship. In some ways, this can bond them even if it initially drives them crazy. By experiencing life changing moments, a special type of story begins where the two of them become a part of each other. It's not hard to see it happening as they are forced to lean on one another for support.

The story and life behind each person reflects a little about where they came from. As time continues and their paths continue to cross, each person is lead intimately deeper into the lives each other leads. From one sisters wedding to parents that have no idea what has become of their son, the emotions start to roll as the situation gets more and more complex.

Whatever your intentions are to see this movie, plan to get out of it what you desire. The comedy and drama are obvious in the promotions and follow throughout the movie. The idea behind these situations are to keep you entertained as well as guessing enough to find out how the story ends. With no preconceived notions, enjoy the movie for what it is.

The surroundings throughout this movie show the importance of showing change at every turn. Finding yourself in a warehouse and then waking up on a deserted island is not typical for many people. In order to achieve this, many creative people helped imagine the best scene and designed it to become reality. Being on the run and requiring resources means a lot of creativity is necessary. Putting together a puzzle where the pieces need to fit in the end appears to be the ultimate challenge.

Sometimes the bad guys are able to get a step ahead. That's the only way this game works for them. When they get their hopes up and are able to continue fighting for what they want or what they need to get done, you are following each moment with them waiting for them to fail. It's always just a matter of time before they get caught or simply fail and can't do anything to change the situation. It just usually takes a lot of trial and error.

The title Knight & Day may not say enough to describe the movie, but it does say enough to peak your interest. Many women will want to see the apparent love story that will ensue and men will want to see how many guys or cars get blown up. It's a good thing this movie has both of those to keep the interest of a larger audience. - 40732
