Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx, the stars of Netflix's action film Back in Action, also led in one of the most quotable football movies ever made.

The 2025 movie schedule ushered in the return of Cameron Diaz, who came out of retirement to star in Netflix’s Back in Action alongside Jamie Foxx. So far, the film has trended high amongst other titles on the streamer,

Cameron Diaz opened up about her 'Back in Action' costar Jamie Foxx's medical emergency, saying it was 'terrifying' and that she is 'proud' of him for sharing his story.

Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz's new movie 'Back in Action' debuted with 46.8 million views in its opening weekend on Netflix.

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 tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx supported each other throughout filming — when the actress marked her return to acting with her first movie in over a decade and the actor had a medical emergency during production in April 2023.

In the official trailer for Netflix's Back in Action, Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz play former spies who come out of retirement to protect their family.

The action-comedy overcame more than the usual amount of hurdles on the way to the screen, all the way up to its New York premiere being canceled in solidarity with the troubling times in Los Angeles.

You'll see the "third-act 'twist' coming a mile off", said Ben Travis in Empire, and Andrew Scott and Kyle Chandler are "wasted in insubstantial roles". But Back in Action is a fun, "fizzily watchable" treat. A word to Diaz: "Next time don't leave it so long, eh?"

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.
