Bait
The film revolves around Alvin Sanders, a small thief, on his way to jail. Alvin shared the cell with John Gaster, one of the criminal team that stole $ 42 million in gold. Now, Alvin tries to enter into a very difficult experience in order to find a place to hide gold with a tracking device in his jaw. It seems that Alvin is in a real battle to find gold between Bristol, a genocidal criminal and an agent of the US Treasury, both of whom are more dangerous than each other.

includes all the key ingredients for what Hollywood passes off as an "urban comedy." ... The finale of "Bait" finds a screaming infant and his drugged mother strapped to a bomb -- funny stuff, huh?

The cliched story makes precious little sense.

...typifies the kind of action comedies Hollywood seems to produce by the dozens every year.

Well paced, but weak on story, character, and variety, "Bait" is an underwhelming effort from director Anton Fuqua.

To sum it up in critic-speak, Bait doesn't stink, but it's not very appetizing.
January 01, 2000
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.

...a really good 80-minute action movie trapped inside an overblown two-hour suckfest.
January 01, 2000
It's just respectable trash, and a dress rehearsal for better things ahead.

Blending comedy and action is a formula that works when both elements are strong, as in, say, Beverly Hills Cop or 48 Hours. In Bait, this isn't the case.
January 01, 2000
It piles one ludicrous plot twist atop another and bothers not a whit with logic.
January 01, 2000
If you want a conflicted movie that doesn't know what it is -- or just wish to kill a few hours -- this is for you. Otherwise, keep fishing and cut Bait.
January 01, 2000
Fuqua draws from so many disparate genres to energize the film that fusion gives way to confusion.
