Netflix is banking more and more on action. The genre counts among its most recent successes a few films directed by the American platform. Tyler Rake, Red Notice, Under the Seine or even The Gray Manthe public never stops asking for more. Good news, the Red N unveils a new punchy film with a prestigious cast.
Back in Action tells the story of a married couple and their children, residents of a quiet suburb in the United States until the day their parents' past resurfaces. Emily and Matt are former undercover spies and someone obviously makes a point of making them pay for their choice of vocation, even after years of well-deserved retirement. If it's a film that already has all the ingredients of family entertainment, Back in Action also lives up to its name very well.

Return to action for Cameron Diaz
Indeed, it is Cameron Diaz's return to the spotlight. The actress, whom we have not seen in a film since 2014 and the release of the musical Anniemakes a sensational entrance in the trailer shared by Netflix. The firm therefore puts end of his retirement announced more than 10 years ago. A decision she said she made for her own personal development. She takes up a role that she has already played in the past, namely that of the mother of a family who is good in all respects… or not.
Jamie Foxx will play him, who also appeared in his partner's last film, while their children will be played by Rylan Jackson and Mckenna Roberts. Other big names will join them on screen, including Andrew Scott (Fleabag, Sherlock), Glenn Close (101 Dalmatians, Fatal Connection) et Kyle Chandler (The Wolf of Wall Street).
In terms of the scenario, we can inevitably see the indirect heritage of the saga Spy Kidswhich already featured spy parents whose family life was going to be disrupted by their professional activities. Back in Action will be available on Netflix from January 17and for the moment, no sequel has been announced. This will certainly depend on the audience results of this great comeback for Cameron Diaz.
