The action-comedy’s core plot also wasn’t the most logical or engaging on the whole, which is a point that many critics raised in disapproval, but I truly think the key element saving the film from becoming the first forgettable blockbuster of the 2025 movie schedule is the presence of BAFTA-winning comedian Jamie Demetriou.

What follows are Foxx’s five very best films, at least according to critics whose reviews are featured on Rotten Tomatoes. Just missing the cut-off but still worth watching are Jarhead, Horrible Bosses, Ray, Rio, Dreamgirls, and Just Mercy.

The Holiday star appears in a new spy thriller - Back in Action - released this month, with actor Jamie Foxx, who she credits with her decision to return to the big screen. Appearing on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show, Diaz said she was not yet sure if her return to acting would be permanent.

The movie he was filming, “ Back in Action ,” premiered on Netflix on Friday. The film stars Foxx and Cameron Diaz, in her first acting role in a decade, as former CIA spies who are pulled back into the world of espionage when their secret identities are exposed.

Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz star opposite one another in Netflix’s Back in Action, begging the question of how old both actors were during filming.
