Knight and Day
Super agent Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) has a problem. He needs to sneak something out of Wichita and the less his mule knows the better. Unfortunately that leaves him with a bigger problem, because Roy is a pretty good guy and when the perfect mule turns up in the shape of June Havens (Cameron Diaz) he...
