Back In Action marks Jamie Foxx’s second Netflix release since being hospitalized after falling ill in April 2023. In December 2024, the Texas native released the Netflix comedy special, What Had Happened Was, his first stand-up film in over two decades.

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.

Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz topped Netflix’s charts this week with their new spy movie, “Back in Action.” Deadline reports that from January 13 to 19, the film garnered an impressive 46.8 million views,
