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.

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.
