Couples who spy together stay together (or die together, its a roll of the dice).

Naturally, everything goes to hell and their kids get embroiled in a plot of mild vengeance and espionage.

(L to R) Cameron Diaz as Emily and Jamie Foxx as Matt in "Back In Action."

The movie is equal parts spy action and family drama sprinkled with some blood and humor.
