Cameron Diaz's new Netflix comeback movie finds its audience score on Rotten Tomatoes turning around and more than doubling its critic score.

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."

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

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:

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.

Back In Action director Seth Gordon explains how the cliffhanger ending sets up a potential sequel to the Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz spy movie.

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.
