Back In Action
PRAISE: This Action comedy about two retired spies who now spy on their daughter but trouble finds them again is truly uplifted by its cast. Cameron Diaz returns to acting after an almost 11 year braak and her team up with Jamie Foxx as Emily and Matt, is nice and the two share some good moments together. Watching the movie which at least has a couple of action sequences in which the decks are nicely stacked I found myself saying at least they gave me something.
I even found myself genuinely laughing a few times especially when the character of Nigel shows up portrayed by Jamie Demetriou. I thought some of his dialogue and physical humor was very funny. There is a character that is constantly talked about in the first hour of the film so much so I couldn't wait to see who would be portraying the character and fortunately the pay off is very good.
PROBLEMS: As I said in the praise portion it's the talent that uplifts the film from its generic and dull quicksand. I love Fola Evans-Akingbola but what they had her going through with a certain character was painfully predictable. The talents of Andrew Scott and Kyle Chandler are also wasted as both of their characters enter the realm of the predictable. The CGI is standout awful in one particular scene. The script is just so much of what I've seen before. The way Emily and Matts kids are written, corny interrupted moments of intimacy between the two lead characters and ultra lame hand to hand combat moments. I wonder how movies like this still get made with the same formula. I really don't see movies like this being released in theatre's anymore they go straight to streaming on either Netflix or Apple TV. It has to be the fact that movies like this get the attention of families they watch consistently for a couple of weeks and the aforementioned streamers get a good return on their investments. In my opinion the last movie like this that did it to a capital T and then some was True Lies this flick is far, far from that.
Scale of 1 to 10 a 5
