As “Back in Action” goes through its paces, you’ll find echoes of such films as the Bob Odenkirk-starring “Nobody” and the Mark Wahlberg vehicle “The Family Plan,” as well as “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and even a little of “Knight and Day,” which starred Diaz and that Tom Cruise fella.

Cameron Diaz is finally back, and no one's more excited than Jamie Foxx. For their new action comedy "Back in Action" (streaming Friday on Netflix), the Oscar-winning actor did what no one else could: pull Diaz out of retirement.
