Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Ultimately, it's Foxx's insistence on filling any dead air with wisecracks that spoils Bait.
– John Monaghan,

rotten:
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.

rotten:
If the movies that make 'best lists' are filet mignon, the culinary comparison here probably is bait.

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

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