The tasty ingredients of this entertainment undoubtedly remain the action, the humor and the incredible duo formed by Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx. The two actors get along wonderfully, have a blast, and it shows. Their characters complement each other and make us want to follow their entire adventure.

Obviously, their tranquility is jeopardized and they increasingly feel the lack of adrenaline. Although they haven’t fought for around fifteen years, the former agents have forgotten nothing and their combat skills are resurfacing. If action scenes and stunts punctuate the plot of Back in Actionit’s really our favorite duo. Watching them interact is a treat, as is their relationship with their children. Their characters are in fact the parents of a young boy and a teenage girl. The latter have found their place in this action comedy and complete the duo formed by the two stars.

Glenn Close thus slips into the skin of the grandmother, a former agent famous in the profession, who is dating Nigel (Jamie Demetriou), a younger man who would like to join the secret service. The comic capital of the latter is a plus for the film and if we did not think we would appreciate it when we discovered it at the very beginning, it managed to change the situation.
