Not even a Cameron Diaz comeback can save Netflix's utterly banal 'Back In Action'
Briefly

The film, directed by Seth Gordon, is capital-F "Fine" at best and mediocre background watching at worst. Given that this is the movie Jamie Foxx miraculously recovered from a stroke to complete, one would hope the end product inspired stronger enthusiasm.
Their extremely normal life only gets blown up because Matt and Emily are caught on tape beating up a few guys while picking their underage daughter Alice up from the club.
"Back in Action" kicks off 15 years in the past during their last mission together to steal an Industrial Control Systems key... Opening sequence does little to establish Matt and Emily's relationship.
The aptly titled film stars Diaz and Foxx as Emily and Matt, suburban parents who were elite spies before having their first child and pivoting to coaching soccer and selling puzzles on Etsy.
