Bait Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረJanuary 31, 2026This movie surprised me and turned out to be pretty good. I left the room when they started to watch it but the bits and pieces I caught at the beginning were enough to reel me in. In Bait Jamie Foxx plays an ex-con being used without his knowledge as lure for a dangerous criminal. I thought Jamie Foxx was really funny. All throughout Bait I kept drawing parallels to Will Smith and Enemy of the State(one of the surveillance actors from Enemy of the State actually plays the same role in Bait). Foxx is definitely funnier than Will and that makes the movie as a whole really funny. I don't know how the movie was promoted, but I would actually describe it as a comedy before an action film.
