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-studded cast. The film not only struggles to justify its runtime but also leaves viewers feeling like having watched something generic and devoid of identity, where only the stunt department earns praise. For the start of a new cinematic year, this is a misstep I sincerely hope doesn't set the tone for what's to come." Rating: D-

"Back in Action" feels like a bargain basement "True Lies". Unlike the 1994 action, comedy, spy mash up it shallowly imitates. "Back in Action" offers up nothing fresh or original. That's not to say its unwatchable. As a basic action flick its mildly diverting but, that said, you very quickly come to feel like you have seen it all before, because in one form or another, you have. In summary, yet another "by the numbers", mass produced, action flick, from the USA. An alright but also instantly forgettable, watch.

'Back in Action' is one I found to be a real mixed bag. I think I narrowly didn't like it, though it isn't one I'd explicitly say that I disliked either. Everything about it just kinda levels out at underwhelming. The respective returns of Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz are its selling point. Both Foxx and Diaz are fairly good, the latter minorly the better of the two. McKenna Roberts and Rylan Jackson are decent as the youngsters, while the supporting cast of Glenn Close, Kyle Chandler, Andrew Scott and Jamie Demetriou (his character is particularly on/off) are OK (if ill-fitting?). I think what lets this down most is story and pacing, which are the two weak elements of this 2025 release. I believe you could've told this plot much more concisely, it goes around the houses a little bit. The humour is also more miss than hit, I rate the Manchester United shoutout though!
