I can’t believe how generous people are being about this movie…it absolutely sucked. Not the actors faults, they did fine - but the script was absolutely rubbish, generic and predictable. And the dialogue and action scenes were woeful. It’s too bad to even be called a guilty pleasure

It's a good genx action movie. Though perhaps that's not what I should call it. saving the kids in danger is more a 90s thing as supposed to saving the wife/lover plot. Still, very much looking forward to the sequel.

"Back in Action" feels like a bargain basement "True Lies".

Unlike the 1994 action, comedy, spy mash up it shallowly imitates. "Back in Action" offer up nothing fresh or original. That's not to say its unwatchable. As a basic action flick its mildly diverting but, that said, you very quickly come More
