Netflix has released a new original movie that has immediately rocketed to #1 on the service, but is Back in Action with Cameron Diaz worth watching?
, an appropriately named spy thriller that marks the return of Cameron Diaz to acting for the first time since 2014’s Annie, Sex Tape and The Other Woman, the last year she made any film.from dozens of critics, quite low even for often low-scoring Netflix original movies. The audience score is…better, a 64%, but in the context of usually-higher audience scores, that’s not amazing.
“Former CIA spies Emily and Matt are pulled back into espionage after their secret identities are exposed.” It’s a little hard to tell from that description but yes, this is an action-comedy, not just a straight spy thriller. It’s directed by Seth Gordon, who previously did Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief and Baywatch. Unlike Diaz he has been working since those movies , doing episodes of shows like The Night Agent, For All Mankind and The Good Doctor.I was actually surprised to realize that Cameron Diaz has not acted since 2014.
She also has another movie coming up, Apple TV+’s “black comedy” Outcome with Keanu Reeves and Jonah Hill, which will be directed by Hill. So, Cameron Diaz is back in action for Back in Action, but it may not have been the role she should have picked, judging by the quality of the film.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
