That was ultimately stuff that’s not in the movie,” Gordon told Decider, when asked about the reports of a double replacing Foxx.

Director Seth Gordon recounts the first meeting he had with Jamie Foxx when he returned to set after collapsing while in production on "Back in Action."

Back in Action stars Foxx and Diaz as former CIA spies Matt and Emily, "Years after giving up life as CIA spies to start a family, Emily and Matt find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown," an official synopsis explains.

Andrew Scott, Kyle Chandler and Glenn Close also star in Seth Gordon’s caper about a pair of retired undercover agents dragged back into the spy game along with their unknowing children.

Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx are charming enough to make 'Back in Action' watchable, but the Netflix movie is flawed. Read our review.

As married CIA operatives who dropped out and have to come back, Foxx and Diaz anchor a Netflix product-of-the-week movie where nothing's at stake.

Flash forward 15 years. and the couple, having gone underground, live in a comfy suburban house with two lovely (and barely annoying) teenagers. Matt coaches the soccer team. The teens, Alice and Leo (McKenna Roberts and Rylan Jackson, both appealing), are not aware of their parents’ high-flying past; Matt and Emily want their lives to be normal.

As “Back in Action” goes through its paces, you’ll find echoes of such films as the Bob Odenkirk-starring “Nobody” and the Mark Wahlberg vehicle “The Family Plan,” as well as “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and even a little of “Knight and Day,” which starred Diaz and that Tom Cruise fella.

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele maintain a strong bond despite their busy schedules. In a recent interview with People, Key shared insights into his ongoing friendship with his former Key & Peele collaborator, even though they don’t see each other as often as they’d like.

After focusing on motherhood and taking a decade-long break from her acting career, Cameron Diaz has returned to screens with the action-comedy Back In Act..

An enjoyable, if unremarkable, popcorn flick that’s worth a watch for fans of the leads and those craving an easygoing action-comedy.
