Back in Action director Seth Gordon was a few beers deep at a Dodgers game in 2019, when he started joking about a fake movie he called Baby Bjorn Identity. “What happen if Jason Bourne had kids? Would he have to quit the business?” Gordon asked his friend, movie producer Beau Bauman. “Or what if it was Mr. and Mrs. Smith, not Jason Bourne?”

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?

Her new Netflix movie, 'Back in Action,' isn't great. But if it means there’s more Cameron Diaz in our future, let’s take it.

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.

Cameron Diaz lit up the red carpet in Berlin on Wednesday, marking her first major appearance in five years at the premiere of her highly anticipated Netflix film, "Back in Action." The event celebrated not only her return to acting after stepping away in 2018 but also a joyous reunion with longtime collaborator Jamie Foxx.

“Back in Action” is Diaz’s first film since 2014’s “Annie,” which she also starred in alongside Foxx. The Oscar-winner and the “Charlie’s Angels” alum first worked together in Oliver Stone’s 1999 sports drama “Any Given Sunday.”

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.

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.

CBS’s hit series starring Justin Hartley, Abby McEnany, Fiona Rene, and Eric Graise returns with new Season 2 episodes in 2025, and though Tracker Sunday hasn’t arrived quite yet, we only have to wait a few more weeks to reunite with Colter Shaw (Hartley) and his crew.

Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx's crowd-pleasing 'Back in Action' has debuted at the top of the Netflix chart around the world.

The skit’s premise revolved around MSNBC ’s coverage of inauguration weekend, with Rachel Maddow (played by Sarah Sherman) and other network anchors attempting to concentrate on Trump’s policies. However, they found themselves repeatedly sidetracked by his outrageous proposals and posts on Truth Social.
