The family pulls into a gas station for a quick fill-up and some snacks, a very common vignette for millions of people across the world. The difference here is that the parents, Cameron Diaz’s Emily and Jamie Foxx’s Matt, are not your usual PTA-attending, Girl Scout Cookie-drive leading ma and pa, and when they dispatch two bad guys in full view of their shocked children, the jig is up. At one point deeper into the trailer, the kids say, “I can’t believe they were spies…they were in a pickleball league.” Fair point.

As dad Matt tries to explain to the kids, fifteen years ago, he and mom were nonofficial covert operatives for the CIA. Yet, instead of toiling within the massive agency forever, the two went off the grid to start an actual family of their own. This is, we’re guessing, not quite protocol. When their enemies find out the pair aren’t just alive but sitting ducks living the suburban life, the entire family is in danger.

Back in Action marks Diaz’s return to the big screen after an 11-year hiatus from acting and reminds us, with a few well-timed barbs, how much a weary nation needs her comedic chops. The new trailer packs plenty of thrills—flame throwers, car chases, parachute escapes, plane crashes, the great Glenn Close—and is a good reminder of what made Diaz such a star in the first place.

Diaz and Foxx are joined by Kyle Chandler, the aforementioned Glenn Close, Andrew Scott, Jamie Demetriou, McKenna Roberts, and Rylan Jackson. Seth Gordon directs from a script he co-wrote with Brendan O’Brien, one of the co-writers of Gordon’s Neighbors.

Diaz hasn’t been exactly resting in her time away from movies since she announced her retirement in 2014. She’s appeared in episodes of The Drew Barrymore Show and RuPaul’s Drag Race and launched her successful wine brand Avaline. She’ll also be heard voicing Princess Fiona again in the upcoming Shrek 5.

It’ll be especially great to see Diaz and Foxx paired together, considering this marks Foxx’s return after a medical emergency last year.

Check out the trailer for Back in Action, which arrives on January 17.
