This is an insane action/comedy. Cruise is always great in roles where he doesn't take himself too serious (Tropic Thunder), and here he has a field day as Roy Miller. Cameron Diaz is likable as June Havens, who is on her way home from a trip to get parts to restore her late father's GTO. Roy is a secret agent who has went rogue, while protecting a new energy source (battery?) and it's young inventor. Roy bumps into June at the airport (literally), and after a some confusion over an available seat, end up on the same flight. They hit it off fairly quick, and while June excuses herself to visit the bathroom, we learn that everyone on the plan is there to kill Roy. That makes for a very witty scene when she gets out.
The violence is over the top, and somewhat comical at times. It's a fun movie, and the two leads seem to be having a blast. It's definitely worth watching, if nothing else, but for the chase scenes alone.
Rated PG13, Runtime 109mns
