Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx, the stars of Netflix's action film Back in Action, also led in one of the most quotable football movies ever made.

"Back in Action," which debuted Jan. 17, was viewed 46.8 million times from its release date through Jan. 19, Netflix said Tuesday. "Back in Action," which also stars Jamie Foxx, earned the best opening weekend for an English language film on Netflix since “The Adam Project” in March of 2022, Variety reported.

It’s a really unexpected coincidence that the title and some of the themes and her character’s situation [as a retired spy turned mom] lined up with real life. It’s almost as if Back in Action was meant to coax her out of retirement, but I swear it wasn’t. It’s just extraordinary timing and really good fortune and Jamie’s access, frankly.

Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz's new movie 'Back in Action' debuted with 46.8 million views in its opening weekend on Netflix.

Netflix has released a new original movie that has immediately rocketed to #1 on the service, but is Back in Action with Cameron Diaz worth watching?

In the official trailer for Netflix's Back in Action, Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz play former spies who come out of retirement to protect their family.

A comedy-action flick about retired spies being pulled out of suburban bliss to save the world, Back in Action is a silly, diverting film. But it's a delight to see Cameron Diaz return to the big screen.
