Netflixs first major movie of 2025 drops this week in the form of Back in Action."
This movie seems to have all the ingredients to be a surefire Netflix No.
Its no masterpiece, and its reliance on genre tropes is clear, but its charming and enjoyable.
What is Back in Action about?
But the life of a superspy isnt so compatible with little humans.
Naturally, they are also drawn into a spy adventure and must thwart a sinister villain along the way.
Oh, and Andrew Scott also pops up as a British intelligence agent in love with Emily.
Scott comes closest to matching Foxxs comedic chops, getting in a couple of witty dry remarks himself.
Though, the final destination is clearly telegraphed from pretty much the very start.
Theres just no denying that it brings absolutely nothing new to the table.
The action sequences are also pretty pedestrian.
Though, a first-act plane crash scene is also strong.
Should you stream Back in Action on Netflix
Back in Action is not a fantastic movie.
Heck, its not even an especially good one.
Am I setting the bar too low?
I cant say the same about a follow-up to any of the awful Netflix original movies listed above.
So thats an improvement at least.
