critics consensus
Even though Jamie Foxx shines in Bait, the movie suffers from music video roots and a formulaic script that strains credibility. Read critic reviews

Despite its genre trappings, Bait is an entertaining and occasionally clever picture with a crackling peformance by Jamie Foxx.

Fuqua has enveloped the luckless Jamie Foxx ... in a stylishly inept mess of a movie; a film as badly flawed in concept as it is incoherent in execution.

Jan 06, 2009"Action & Adventure, Mystery & Suspense, Comedy"... That's how Flixster would categorize "Bait". Well, this film fits none of the previous mentioned genres. I would categorize it to the genre called 'crap'... It's hard to imagine that the star of this film is Jamie Foxx, the Academy Award winning actor from "Ray". In this movie he's nothing but a obnoxious, little wanna be gangsta. The other cast members ain't doing a better job either... The film is just a total waste of time and talent. David Morse, Antoine Fuqua... There's talent available but not in here.Jani H Super Reviewer
