Netflix’s first major movie of 2025 drops this week in the form of “Back in Action." This action-comedy from director Seth Gordon (the man behind “Horrible Bosses” and the awful “Baywatch” reboot) stars Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx as a couple of retired CIA agents who are drawn back into the world of espionage when their secret identities are exposed.

Eight-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close discussed working with the cast members and director of the new Netflix action comedy "Back in Action."
Back in Action, directed by Seth Gordon, was released to Netflix on 17 January and has received a very low Rotten Tomatoes score of 24 per cent. The action/drama revolves around former CIA spies Emily and Matt who get drawn back into espionage after their secret identities are exposed.
Taylor Gates of Collider rates it a 4 out of 10, saying Back in Action is “too formulaic to be fun,” and it struggles in tone as too adult to engage a younger audience but too kid-friendly to be considered one of Netflix’s sexiest movies. Gates says:
Jamie Foxx has been Cameron Diaz's "biggest cheerleader". The 57-year-old actor stars alongside Cameron, 52, in the new Netflix movie 'Back in Action', and Jamie supported his co-star throughout her return to the movie business.
