Cheesy Much

Squeek, Squeek!

Hehe, contradictory to what the pic and title says, this post ain't gonna be about cheese and their natural predators, the mice. Just gonna rant about a movie I recently watched, "Knight and Day". Check out the synopsis provided by 'Internet Movie Database'

"June Havens finds her everyday life tangled with that of a secret agent who has realized he isn't supposed to survive his latest mission. As their campaign to stay alive stretches across the globe, they soon learn that all they can count on is each other" - sourced from www.imdb.com

At first glance, the movie seemed not too shabby right? Your typical spy movie starring the ever famous Tom Cruise, and actress Cameron Diaz the movie was sure eye attracting at first. Just one prob, the entire movie was CHEESY! As if the typical storyline of girl gets between the secret agents and bad guy wasn't enough. The main char gets to be trapped in the mid of a shooting scene, with just the standard issued pistol, and maybe an extra round of reload magazines. Even being shot from every direction, firearm-trained federal agents sniping at him, he still never gets shot and every shot he makes hits his mark dead on! Your typical James Bond much?

The far by most over the top scene was, him walking leisurely across a hallway with hails of bullets shooting around him. The moment ends with him grabbing the female lead who got high from a truth serum injection for a romantic kiss.... (I just don't see the flow here...)

Don't get me wrong, cause I liked the movie overall, but it's just plain cheesy for me. As a leisure afternoon movie, it might be fine. But, for a reserved Saturday night movie time? A big NO NO.

Overall personal rating for this one, 6.5/10 just because of the overcheesy factor.

P/S: Can't wait for Avatar TLA this friday. Critics say the CGI's great, but they changed the storyline too much to fit the silver screens. Oh well, will rant about that when the time comes.
