Bait

In the action-comedy movie 'Bait', Alvin Sanders, played by Jamie Foxx, becomes an unwitting pawn in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse when he unknowingly picks up a bag loaded with stolen loot. With both the FBI and criminal masterminds on his tail, Alvin must use his wit and resourcefulness to survive the dangerous situation he finds himself in. As the tension escalates, Alvin's unexpected heroism and quick thinking bring unexpected twists and turns into this adrenaline-pumping thriller filled with comedy, action, and suspense.

Despite its promising premise and Jamie Foxx's charismatic performance, 'Bait' falls short of expectations. The film struggles to balance its comedic and action elements, with some critics feeling that it veers into cliched territory at times. Rotten Tomatoes' critics consensus states, 'While Jamie Foxx brings energy to the screen, 'Bait' ultimately fails to deliver a truly satisfying heist comedy.' Metacritic's score of 39/100 reflects the mixed critical reception, with some praising the film's entertainment value, while others find it lacking in originality and coherence. IMDb's rating of 5.7/10 signifies a lukewarm response from viewers, who appreciate the film's moments of humor but criticize its uneven pacing and predictable plot twists.
