The most positive review

"Back in Action" feels like a bargain basement "True Lies".
Unlike the 1994 action, comedy, spy mash up it shallowly imitates. "Back in Action" offer up nothing fresh or original. That's not to say its unwatchable. As a basic action flick its mildly diverting but, that said, you very quickly come to feel like you have seen it all before, because in one form or another, you have.
In summary, yet another "by the numbers", mass produced, action flick, from the USA. An alright but also instantly forgettable, watch.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/back-in-action-review/
"Back in Action would have been more appropriately titled Out of Action. Seth Gordon fails to strike the necessary balance between action, humor, and emotion to stand out in the genre, delivering a highly forgettable, formulaic piece.
Cameron Diaz's return is squandered in a movie that fails to showcase her talent or that of the star-studded cast. The film not only struggles to justify its runtime but also leaves viewers feeling like having watched something generic and devoid of identity, where only the stunt department earns praise.
For the start of a new cinematic year, this is a misstep I sincerely hope doesn't set the tone for what's to come."
