The action film “Back in Action”, which marks the return of Cameron Diaz to the screen, is available on Netflix. We saw it before its release, here is our opinion.
After a break of more than ten years, Cameron Diaz returns to screens with an action comedy on January 17, 2025 on Netflix. The last time we saw the American actress on screen was in 2014 in Anniethe adaptation of the musical of the same name, with Jamie Foxx which she therefore finds here.
Written by Brendan O’Brien, screenwriter of Our worst neighbors and of Ninja Turtles: Teenage Years and directed by Seth Gordon, director of Baywatch: Baywatch and the series Atypical, the movie Back in action features two CIA agents who have given up everything for their family life, who find themselves forced to return to service when their covers are discovered.
But Back in action does it live up to expectations? If you are looking for a action movie entertaining and fuss-free, the feature film directed by Seth Gordon fulfills its part of the contract. Mainly thanks to the charm of its casting (Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in the lead, but also Glen Close or Andrew Scott), the film saves the furniture, despite action choreographies seen and reviewed. But if you’re looking for an action comedy that raises the bar a little higher than what the platform streaming is used to offering, you may be disappointed. Back in action is heavily written, full of archetypal characters, and if a few jokes do indeed make you smile, the whole is not enough to keep you in suspense or maintain suspense. Not catastrophic then, but not memorable either.
