Back in Action

One of the most frustrating action movies I've seen. Good cast at least.

Without fail, Netflix always seems to release some of its worst straight-to-streaming films in January. Lucky for me, Back in Action is the first 2025 release I have seen (sarcasm). As expected, Back in Action delivers a forgettable action-comedy with an uncreative plot and complete misuse of its talented cast. With Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx playing two spies that fall in love and start a family until conflict draws them back to espionage, Back in Action feels like a poorly regurgitated mix of past action films with an abundance of overused clichés. Overall, Back in Action is soulless and not even the comedy can salvage this film from mediocrity. It amazes me that Kyle Chandler, Glenn Close, and Andrew Scott are willing to take this job, but I can imagine Netflix throwing a large bag at each one of them. Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz have decent chemistry, but the script for Back in Action is disgustingly cringey.

Fun and easy watch. Foxx and Diaz have great chemistry, the casting for their kids was great and perfect stream movie.

liked a lot, was fun and easy to watch, yes a little predictable but overall entertaining

Legit fun, sweet comedic romp! What more could you want?

É isso?... Uma típica produção digna de Sessão da Tarde, sem jamais ousar ultrapassar esse limite – algo, aliás, quase inevitável, tratando-se de um original da Netflix. A suspensão de descrença soa como um alarme incessante ao longo de todo o filme. Eles não precisam treinar, suas habilidades de luta permanecem intactas, conseguem mentir para os filhos durante uma vida inteira e, se ninguém sabia que eram espiões, por que, afinal, conversavam em russo com o técnico de ar-condicionado? O roteiro é frágil, os personagens carecem de qualquer aprofundamento, e tudo o que resta é um entretenimento minimamente divertido – raso, efêmero, incapaz de acrescentar algo significativo à vida de quem assiste...

I really loved the Movie. The main role characters had a very good chemistry and at the end also with the kids. It was very exciting. Can’t wait for part two

Diaz and Fox are a phenomenally cool duo. Definitely made it a favorite of mine!

A generic, witty, action filled movie, repeating the routines of most. Yet still fun to Gen Z watchers. They made a modern acceptable thriller for youth of different ages ranges, stereotypes, cultural difference, genders, etc. It's like Spy kids. Because there are so many different views in society we will each take a personal hit at it according to our liking of content the movie has in it, in regards to the message, and to our personal views of ourselves and society, and that is okay. Still to be fair outside of my opinionated cultural difference I think we watched it because of Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx.

Silly tricks , ridiculous story line , empt characters and no depth in scenario, what a waste of time
