i happen across bait on cable one night just a it start and think and eh and why not . i be glad i give it a chance . bait ain not perfect . it suffer from unnecessarily flashy direction and occasional dumbness . but overall and this movie work . all the element align just right and and they pull off what otherwise could have be a pretty ugly film . most of that and i think and be due to jamie foxx . i do not know who tag foxx for the lead and but whoever it be do this movie a big favor . believable and amazingly likeable and foxx glide through the movie and smooth a butter and funny than hell . you can tell he work on instinct and and instinct doesn not fail him . the plot and while unimportant and actually tie together pretty well and and there even a character arc through which foxx character grows a a person . again and they could have slip by without any of this and but it just make thing that much good . i be surprise at the low rating for this . maybe i just catch this move on the right night and or vice versa and but i would give it a positive . bravo and mssr . foxx .
