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.
Netflix has released a new original movie that has immediately rocketed to #1 on the service, but is Back in Action with Cameron Diaz worth watching?
“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.
"Back in Action" is Cameron Diaz's first film in over ten years. Unfortunately, her and Jamie Foxx's star power isn't enough to save it.
The actors had each other’s backs as she returned to the screen and he recovered from a stroke, according to director Seth Gordon.
As married CIA operatives who dropped out and have to come back, Foxx and Diaz anchor a Netflix product-of-the-week movie where nothing's at stake.
Jamie Foxx hyped Cameron Diaz up on the set of Netflix's "Back in Action," her first film in more than a decade after she retired from Hollywood.
“Back in Action” is Diaz’s first film since 2014’s “Annie,” which she also starred in alongside Foxx. The Oscar-winner and the “Charlie’s Angels” alum first worked together in Oliver Stone’s 1999 sports drama “Any Given Sunday.”
