Already No. 1 on Netflix in one weekend, Back in Action is a massive American action film coming to the platform in 2025. Directed by Seth Gordon (How to Kill Your Boss?, Night Agent), this feature film attracted a large audience, lovers of stunts and family comedies.

Back in Action tells the story of Emily and Matt, ex-CIA agents who quit their jobs to start a family. Years later, they are caught in spite of themselves by espionage when their cover…

Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx reunite for a double dose of humor and action

The title roles of “Back in Action” are played by two stars who have not been seen for a long time. On the one hand, Jamie Foxx, who has mostly appeared in streaming movies since returning as Electro in Spider-Man: No Way Home, had to recover from a stroke in 2023.

Therefore, the action in the chapter marks his return after his health problems and is also a significant return for Cameron Diaz, who already ended his career 10 years ago.

The actress, known for her roles in Mary at any Cost, Vanilla Sky, Gangs of New York, Charlie’s Angels, The Holiday and Shrek Saga, reunites with her friend Jamie Foxx, with whom she made Will Gluck’s last film Annie in 2014. .

Cameron Diaz’s return has been confirmed

So, has this comeback been appreciated by the public? It’s safe to say that audiences have appreciated Back in Action, as the film has received a 3.2 out of 5 rating on AlloCiné so far.

“What a successful comeback from Cameron Diaz” rated by Thierry O. (5/5); “Cameron Diaz still shines even after a 10-year absence from the screen” According to Chillout And Relaxing (4/5); “A great action movie where we’d love to see Cameron Diaz again”For Tima (3/5).

Cameron Diaz’s return is one of the arguments most cited in AlloCiné’s audience criticism. The duet between the actress and Jamie Foxx is the strong point of the film 24titouille (3.5/5): “The film is predictable, but we’re really enjoying the development of the actors in the film and the real pleasure of seeing the engagement and alchemy between Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.

For his part, FaRem (3/5) emphasizes the nostalgic feeling that works in Back in Action, thanks to the Diaz-Foxx duo:

“Not playing the originality card, but maybe nostalgia with that impression, sometimes watching a movie from the 90s/2000s. Maybe it’s due to the return of Cameron Diaz, his good duet with Jamie Foxx, is the main interest of this. General story.”

Friendly and efficient entertainment for a hassle-free evening

For most AlloCiné viewers, Back in Action is an unpretentious film that manages to be good entertainment with the right ingredients, especially effective action scenes.

“Stunts, fights and chases are well done”According to Michael78420 (3.5/5), “A special shout out to Cameron Diaz, who gives of himself with boundless energy”.

Some Internet users still believe that originality is not a strong point in Back Action and that it serves no other purpose than to have fun without fuss, as Micah Chow explains (3.5/5):

“Probably too long, but a good fun movie to watch with the family. I have to say it’s been watched over and over again, I’ve seen this type of movie 200 times.”

Same story for Alex560 (3.5/5): “The action scenes are well done, but do not bring anything new to the genre. The attempt to combine family comedy and espionage sometimes works, but often leaves a feeling of déjà vu. The action back is good entertainment that pays off big. Cameron Diaz’s return.”

Despite all these elements, the return to action left me disappointed, such as Lecter_H (2/5): “At its best, Back in Action will appeal to a younger, less demanding audience, or even a casual family session. But for me, it’s just a bad American comedy that lacks depth and consistency. I took this observation against the general opinion.”
