When I think of Back in Action, this comes to mind.

^That is a great flick IMHO.
I read the thread title as
Back Door Action when quickly glanced and I saw the XX in Foxx's name... Not enough coffee yet.

Looks fun but, Jesus, yet another “Former assassin/spies turned family man/woman get brought out of retirement after their past catches up with them” movie?!
These movies are like the bread and butter of streaming services. I feel like every streaming platform has half a dozen of them with the same basic plot.

Since this is coming out this week, I can say that I saw this movie last June. Netflix allowed me to view it early and then review it.
I didn’t hate it, but it’s a pretty generic and forgettable family action comedy. Some okay action and stunts, but that’s about it. The kids are pretty prevalent and I know how this forum feels about kids in movies. It’s watchable, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of hours of better things to watch out there. I can’t really recommend this.

I hope the movie is good enough to live up to the promise of the title.

I watched this over the last two nights. I enjoyed it, laughed a lot. It is great to have Diaz back! She was channeling her Charlie Angels character in this.
