In all honesty, I kind of have a love / hate relationship with Netflix. On the one hand, I love the convenience of watching a whole season in one sitting. On the other hand, I dislike the fact that it is very hard to find something to watch. It's safe to say, that browsing on Netflix is a real pain in the tuchus. Still, Netflix is the ideal service to watch stuff on a whim.
Back in Action, falls in the category of an action / comedy that is fun while it lasts. It offers uncomplicated fun, but has enough to make it seem fresh. In this case, it's the pairing of Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz. I wouldn't say they have excellent chemistry, but they are both professional enough to make it seem like they do. Thanks to Foxx Diaz came out of retirement and not going lie, it was good to see her back in action, yes pun intended.
The addition of Kyle Chandler, Glenn Close and Andrew Scott adds to the viewing experience. Close is funny as the stuck up grandma, and Scott is killing it as the scorned lover who just can't move on. I like Chandler. Ever since I have seen him in Early Edition. I am so glad to be seeing him doing so well. And I hope he keeps doing so!
The story itself is incredibly predictable. Then again, the film doesn't really rely on the twist and turns. It's an action flick with comedy elements. Perhaps comedy wise it could have been stronger, but on the action front it's satisfying enough.
Overall, one I can recommend!
