Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx have reignited their on-screen chemistry in their latest Netflix action-comedy Back in Action which is directed by Seth Gordon. The duo has previously collaborated on Any Given Sunday (1999) and Annie (2014).
Back in Action stars Foxx and Diaz as former CIA spies Matt and Emily, "Years after giving up life as CIA spies to start a family, Emily and Matt find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown," an official synopsis explains.
Matt and Emily used to be glamorous secret agents. Then she got pregnant, and now they’re undercover suburban parents trying to get along with teenage kids.
Nevertheless, this outcome could prove disappointing for fans of Diaz, who earned praise and major award nominations in the late '90s and early 2000s for her performances in Being John Malkovich, Vanilla Sky and Gangs of New York.
