    FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/back-in-action-review/ "Back in Action would have been more appropriately titled Out of Action. Seth Gordon fails to strike the necessary balance between action, humor, and emotion to stand out in the genre, delivering a highly forgettable, formulaic piece. Cameron Diaz's return is squandered in a movie that fails to showcase her talent or that of the star-studd…

    Not a bad action-comedy, a bit 1990s style but I was entertained mostly for Jamie Foxx and Cameron DIaz. The dialogue still had a tinge of AI that I've noticed in these Netflix movies but still didn't damper the entertainment value. **3.5/5**
