[...] CGI into any action film, because audiences don’t care. Well, Knight and Day (see my earlier review) has some of the crappiest CGI I’ve seen in years, and how many screens is it still playing [...]

That’s disappointing but to be expected because I figured it would’ve been obvious if it was to make sense. Thanks for the answer.

I mean, you’d think the two characters could at least be named “Knight” and “Day” or something.

Hey, Carter. Thanks for commenting.

The “Knight” part of it gets answered, sort of, in just about the most arbitrary manner possible… so much so that I believe your hypothesis is correct: They liked the title and decided they needed to shoehorn in an explanation for it somewhere. Which is basically what happens.

As for the Day part… nothing, nada, zilch. Like much of this movie, we the viewers are expected just to play along and not ask questions.

And the burning question I have that didn’t seem to be answered in the review: what the HELL does the title have to do with the story? I mean, you’d think it’d have something to do with the characters names, or SOMETHING, but I am confused as to why the movie is titled that beyond there being something in the story relating to it. That, or someone thought it was a cute title and decided to stick with it despite it having seemingly nothing to do with the story.
