Her new Netflix movie, 'Back in Action,' isn't great. But if it means there’s more Cameron Diaz in our future, let’s take it.
“Back in Action” follows two former CIA spies whose secret identities are exposed, forcing them out of retirement to confront their past. The film features an ensemble cast, including Glenn Close, Kyle Chandler and Andrew Scott. Directed by Seth Gordon, known for “Horrible Bosses,” the film combines action and comedy in a high-stakes storyline.
Andrew Scott, Kyle Chandler and Glenn Close also star in Seth Gordon’s caper about a pair of retired undercover agents dragged back into the spy game along with their unknowing children.
But she's on-screen relatively briefly. And while it's good to see Diaz, an underappreciated actor, back in the movies, the script does her no favors. Foxx gives off "I'm just here for the paycheck" vibes.
Despite some illogical moments, Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx's performances make "Back in Action" an enjoyable family film.
Cameron Diaz lit up the red carpet in Berlin on Wednesday, marking her first major appearance in five years at the premiere of her highly anticipated Netflix film, "Back in Action." The event celebrated not only her return to acting after stepping away in 2018 but also a joyous reunion with longtime collaborator Jamie Foxx.
C ameron Diaz 's comeback movie Back in Action is finally on Netflix after its release was pushed back from last November. Diaz, who returns to the screen 11 years after appearing in 2014's Annie, stars opposite Jamie Foxx in this action comedy from director and co-writer Seth Gordon.
We should all have as much fun going back to work as Cameron Diaz does in the appropriately titled “Back in Action,” the actress’s first movie since “Annie” in 2014.
