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

...a really good 80-minute action movie trapped inside an overblown two-hour suckfest.

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.

The cliched story makes precious little sense.

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.

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

Fuqua draws from so many disparate genres to energize the film that fusion gives way to confusion.

It piles one ludicrous plot twist atop another and bothers not a whit with logic.
