The new movie "Back in Action" starring Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx has been waiting for release for almost 2 years due to the Pandemic and Jamie Foxx nearly dying of a stroke in April 2023.
The problem with this movie is that the entire premise has been done so many times, most recently twice by Mark Wahlberg in "The Union" (2024) and "The Family Plan" (2023), where a husband or a husband and wife are keeping their previous life as CIA spies from everyone they know. Then something happens and they have to reveal their past to everyone. Considering the vast creative resources that Netflix has, it is surprising that this idea, produced too many times already, was done again. Cameron Diaz has been retired from acting since 2014, it is also surprising that she would take this boring run of the mill movie, rather than waiting for something much better.
There is an appearance made later in the movie of actress Glen Close in a forgettable role that we have seen many times before - continuing the theme of this movie which is nothing new, nothing memorable, seen this already.
This time around the Rotten Tomatoes ratings for this film are an extremely low 24% and I agree with this number and do not recommend this very forgettable two hours.
