Back in Action

“you just don’t like him cause he’s white!”
“your mother’s white!” not too bad, something was missing though and I can’t place it 😭

5/10, I’ll admit I didn’t watch every scene as I was a bit occupied during it😉

NIGEL HAD ME CRACKING UPP

“u didn’t film any of it did… no ofc u didn’t ur passed out”😭😭😭

predictable most of the way and def missing some steps but it’s a fun lil family/action flick that exceeded my expectations for a netflix film, so much so that i can’t really justify giving it a meh. script was cheesy at times, but in other times had me loling. daughter annoyed tf outta me most of the movie, but ofc everybody on good terms in the end🥰

cameron and jamie r so hot and both age like fine mf wine. 6.8/10

Eat your breakfast

Ok

Rating: 5.2/10 ⭐️

I hoped for a fun Cameron Diaz comeback, but the chaotic tone and recycled spy tropes left me underwhelmed.

What Worked:
Diaz and Jamie Foxx's natural chemistry is easily the biggest highlight. Glenn Close as a gun-toting MI6 sniper grandma adds some awesome veteran gravitas. Through my Methodist faith lens, watching a married couple lean on their bond to fiercely protect their kids hit a solid chord with my values on marriage and family.

The Cuts:
The sheer amount of location hopping totally threw off the pacing for me; once they hit London, the story just spins its wheels with unnecessary exposition. Keeping it spoiler-free, the main betrayal twist is a super tired trope that makes the stakes completely predictable. Also, the awkward camera angles used to hide Foxx's body doubles during his medical emergency took me right out of the movie.

Verdict:
A loud spy comedy that wastes a great cast. Okay for mindless background noise, but skip if you want a sharp thriller.

Favorite Line: “We're going off the grid.”
