One of the best movies I have seen in recent time is titled back in action. The movie as directed by Seth Gordon is an American action and comic movie which starred major characters such as Matt, Emily, Baron, Gor, Alice, Leo and the grandma whose name is Ginn and her lover Nigel. All these characters play their scripted roles very well.

The movie, back in action as released in the year 2025, is about family and the career as portrayed by Matt and his Wife Emily. Both Matt and Emily are spies and fiance and due to the nature of their job, they were assigned to spie and track the key. This key belongs to a terrorist whose name is Bethalzar Gor. The key is a key that can be used for all electronics. So, the couples were assigned to retrieve the key from Gor which they did very smart. This they did at the children's party organized by Gor.

After the retrieval of the key, they left for home by boarding a plane, it was on the plane that the wife told husband about her pregnancy and they both agreed to keep the baby, but as they were trying to enjoy themselves on the plane, the wife was trying to use the bathroom and it was then it was dawn on them that they were in danger as they were attacked by the foot soldiers of Gor. They fought their way through and they won and at this point, both Matt and Emily decided to go off the grid and start their own family and a new life. Verdicts : betrayal of trust.

It's in their journey of starting a new life, that they gave birth to the pregnancy they both discussed onboard whom they named Alice and to another boy named Leo, both Leo and Alice gave both couples tough time, but Matt and Emily out of love taught them morals and discipline. Though with all the morals being taught them by their parents, the children would not yield to their instructions, instead, they lied about anything and everything, well their parents too were liars, but in their own case, they thought they were lying to protect themselves and the kids. But at the same time, the children knew their parents to be liars and all these can be seen in most of the scenes where both the parents and the children were together. Verdict : lying being peddled around.

It's in one of those lies that Alice lied to her parent about her going to a place to study, but later found out by her mum be a party at a club that led them to be noticed and traced to their current location where they were hiding. At the party, there were fracas that led to both couples fighting those people who lured their daughter to the party. Unknown to them, they were been filmed and it's by this act, they went viral and led to them been fished out of their covering. It's a friend chunk who came to them out of deception to show them the video and adviced them to leave just because the CIA might come for their head anytime soon. Not knowing to them to be a pre planned work, chunk was shot and they fought their way through, ran to their kids school to fetch them and after this, they left for England. Though the kids were at first reluctant to go, but with their chunks of lies, they were able to convince them to follow them to see their grandma Ginn whom has been presumed dead by the mother out of her many lies But before then, the husband Matt has been keeping the key without the wife knowing. It's when everything went bad that he revealed the secret to the wife after fifteen year. Verdicts: putting the kids under unnecessary stress and keeping secret from each other.

So, on getting to the Heathrow airport, they were checked in, with those people trailing them on standby to retrieve the key from them. And it was at this point they were called back in action, but this time around, it's was more than before as they were to protect their kids and not letting go the keys. Also, they were able to come out clean to their children whom they have really lied to00 and fake their identity for several years. They went to meet Ginn the grandma and her boyfriend Nigel and it's at the grandma's place thet they were being traced and trialed to. At the grandma's place, there were exchange of words and at the end of everything, the kids were been held hostage with the key taking away from them. Verdict: encountering issues and always on the run.

It's after the abduction of the kids, that, they all went looking and tracking down where they kids were taking to. Thanks to the smart ring on Leo finger. So, they were able to tracked them down and at the bold tie party, they were able to stop the auctioning of the key with baron also coming in. Though, both chunk and her accomplice fled the place with the kids, but they were later catch up with in the boat where both Leo and Alice were held hostage. Also, thanks to the timely intervention of both Ginn the grandma and the Nigel the boyfriend, whose for their timely intervention helped to chase out the enemy from Gor and close the water respectively. At the end, they were able to rescue the kids and left for their place and everything return back to normalcy. Though baron came back to invite to invite Emily's father to work with him but ... Verdicts : show of love and reunion

This movie was so captivating that I was just wondering what would be the end. It's a movie full of suspense and a whole lots of actions. Though, there were other negative instances from the movie, but to be candid, I will rate the movie 8/10.

VERDICTS: Here are some.of the verdicts from the movie
*There are instances of betrayal in the movie
*Lies were been peddled around in the movie
*Hatred is another thing that can be seen in the movie as can be seen in the affairs of Emily and her mother Ginn and Emily and her daughter Alice. Though, they later reconciled and love each other, but the hatred can be seen in the movie.

• Another verdict is the intrusion on ones privacy, though, the parents have the right to check on their children privacy, but not so every time as been seen in the movie.
  *lying and other atrocities committed in the face of the kids should not have been and the negative effect of this could be seen in children. Though it's protective lies that was later revealed. But the killing and the fight at some point was so disturbing to the children.

Also in the movie, we can see instances of love, even from the first scene of the movie, we can see a couple who love each other despite the nature of their spying job. Also, the love shown on the plane when the wife broke the news of her pregnancy to the husband can't be overemphasized. The love for ones family and kids is another take away from the movie. Building relationships bond is another thing I cherished most in the movie. There's also, fatherly and motherly care in the movie as being portrayed by Emily and Matt, both cared and protected their two children, Alice and Leo. I also love the musical of the movies that comes with good sound.

Thanks for reading.
