Netflix’s ‘Back in Action’: Can You Skip It?
Originally titled “Back in Action,” this film is helmed by director Seth Gordon. The main characters, played by Diaz and Foxx, are ex-CIA agents Emily and Matt who decide to abandon their thrilling spy lifestyle upon learning that Emily is expecting a child. However, the title “Back in Action” wouldn’t live up to its name if Emily and Matt didn’t find themselves once more entangled in the mystery and danger of the espionage world. Their peaceful family life is shattered when footage of them surfaces online, exposing their true identities. Now, with their two kids in tow, Emily and Matt must flee from those chasing them. Some might say this plot is a bit clichéd; indeed, it seems that way to many.
