Cameron Diaz's Netflix Comeback 'Back in Action' Tops Global Charts Despite Poor Reviews

The action-comedy marks Diaz's return to acting after an 11-year hiatus, achieving widespread viewership success despite critical backlash.

Cameron Diaz stars alongside Jamie Foxx in Netflix's 'Back in Action,' her first film since retiring from acting in 2014.
The film debuted on January 17, 2025, and quickly rose to the top of Netflix's most-watched charts in 92 countries, maintaining strong global viewership.
Despite its popularity, the movie has received overwhelmingly negative reviews, holding a 24% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a mixed audience reception.
Diaz reportedly earned $45 million for a two-film Netflix deal, with 'Back in Action' being the first project under this agreement.
Director Seth Gordon highlighted the strong chemistry between Diaz and Foxx, who supported each other during filming, including Foxx's recovery from a medical emergency.
