Knight and Day

2010

A fugitive couple goes on a glamorous and sometimes deadly adventure where nothing and no one – even themselves – are what they seem. Amid shifting alliances and unexpected betrayals, they race across the globe, with their survival ultimately hinging on the battle of truth vs. trust.

Ages 14+Source checked

Why this age? PG-13 action violence is frequent and sometimes lethal, with kidnappings, drugging, perilous crashes, and tense threats. Romantic content is present but sexual material and language appear limited. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

Minor brand visibility typical of modern action movies; no excessive promotion.

Death of a character4/5
Why this rating?

Multiple agents, assassins, villains, and other characters die through shootings, explosions, and a bull stampede.

Graphic injury1/5
Why this rating?

Minimal gore; minor blood associated with injuries and shootouts, but not graphic or lingering.

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

Some occasional profanity is likely in this PG-13 action comedy, but the available sources do not indicate frequent or especially strong language.

Romance3/5
Why this rating?

Attraction and a developing romantic relationship between June and Roy are central to the adventure.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Frequent kidnappings, armed attacks, crashes, drugging, pursuit, and apparent death create sustained peril, though the action-comedy tone keeps it from being intensely frightening.

Sexual content & nudity2/5
Why this rating?

Contains occasional sexual innuendo and suggestive banter, but no graphic depictions.

Alcohol or drugs3/5
Why this rating?

June is drugged repeatedly, including with a prototype truth serum; the plot treats this as coercive peril rather than recreation.

Violence4/5
Why this rating?

Frequent spy fights, shootings, kidnappings, chases, plane and helicopter danger, and lethal confrontations drive the story.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience3/5
Why this rating?

June and Roy repeatedly confront armed enemies, captivity, betrayal, crashes, and personal danger to protect others.

Creativity & curiosity2/5
Why this rating?

The inventive spy premise, global escapes, improvised plans, and fictional perpetual-energy battery encourage imaginative adventure.

Diverse representation1/5
Why this rating?

The cast is limited in diversity beyond the primary leads.

Kindness & empathy2/5
Why this rating?

Protection, loyalty, family care, and helping captives appear, but compassion is secondary to pursuit and combat.

Positive messages2/5
Why this rating?

The story emphasizes truth, trust, loyalty, protecting others, and resisting corruption, though violence is used casually within the action-comedy style.

Good role models2/5
Why this rating?

Roy is brave and protective but deceptive and violent; June grows in courage and agency while navigating morally compromised adults.
