FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/back-in-action-review/ "Back in Action would have been more appropriately titled Out of Action. Seth Gordon fails to strike the necessary balance between action, humor, and emotion to stand out in the genre, delivering a highly forgettable, formulaic piece. Cameron Diaz's return is squandered in a movie that fails to showcase her talent or that of the star-studded cast. The film not only struggles to justify its runtime but also leaves view…

"Back in Action" feels like a bargain basement "True Lies". Unlike the 1994 action, comedy, spy mash up it shallowly imitates, "Back in Action" offers up nothing fresh or original.
