Movie Logic - Knight and Day (2010)

Cameron Diaz in a red dress from The Mask. Just posting this because a) hot and b) I can.

I was watching Knight and Day, the action movie/comedy vehicle for Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. Early in the film, Diaz, a "normal person" who turns into a secret agent type, a la Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies, has been taken into custody by men claiming to be FBI agents. Tom Cruise, as a CIA operative who has gone "rogue" to protect a high-tech energy source from bad guys both inside and outside the Agency, rescues her in an extended car chase/fight scene. The entire sequence is pretty good. There are some funny moments and some nice stunts and effects.

The problem: we find out that the CIA agent heading up the team is a bad guy; he wants to sell the technology - or the young savant who designed it - to a European arms dealer. However, as the movie proceeds, you realize that he was probably the only guy who was part fo that team who was a villain. All of the other guys are, apparently, actual CIA (or, maybe, FBI) agents. So, Tom Cruise winds up injuring (and probably killing) numerous Federal employees, men who are just doing their job.

Not very heroic of him.

Check out the chase below...and say a prayer for all of those poor GS-12s...
