It’s a really unexpected coincidence that the title and some of the themes and her character’s situation [as a retired spy turned mom] lined up with real life. It’s almost as if Back in Action was meant to coax her out of retirement, but I swear it wasn’t. It’s just extraordinary timing and really good fortune and Jamie’s access, frankly.

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.

A comedy-action flick about retired spies being pulled out of suburban bliss to save the world, Back in Action is a silly, diverting film. But it's a delight to see Cameron Diaz return to the big screen.
