Netflix’s 'Back in Action' Criticized for Weak Script Despite Star Power

Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz reunite in a spy comedy that has drawn significant viewership but underwhelmed critics with its predictable plot and humor.

The film marks Cameron Diaz's return to acting after a decade-long hiatus, alongside Jamie Foxx, in a Netflix action-comedy about former spies turned suburban parents.
Critics have widely panned the movie, citing a lackluster script, overused spy-comedy tropes, and uninspired humor as major shortcomings.
Despite its poor critical reception, 'Back in Action' has garnered significant viewership on Netflix, driven largely by the star power of its lead actors.
The action sequences, while well-executed, have been described as generic and failing to bring anything new to the genre.
The film's ending hints at a potential sequel, though Netflix has not yet confirmed plans for a follow-up.
