In recent years we have seen lots of actresses come back to acting after long hiatus’. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lindsay Lohan and now Cameron Diaz. Formerly known for romantic comedies and for being one of the members of the newer Charlie’s Angels, Cameron Diaz has been out of the spotlight for about a decade. So it is fitting that her return to the screen is in a Netflix film titled Back in Action. Now Cameron Diaz was never known for being an exceptionally good actress and her films were never exactly award winning, so I am not expecting much from her newest endeavor. That said, I love it when actresses choose their projects based on having fun.

I think this was a great come back to the screen for Cameron Diaz. It was funny, it was fun. She got to literally jump back into the action. Comedy is also kind of her sweet spot as an actress. Partnering her with Jamie Foxx was a great casting choice. And honestly the action sequences were pretty good. I did not expect a lot from this movie so it definitely exceeded my expectations. It was definitely a fun watch and if you are looking for a pure entertainment watch that is actually good then this is a good place to start. Back in Action earns a nice solid 7/10. It knew exactly what kind of movie it was and it did it well, not trying to be any more serious or sincere then it was meant to be.
