A small town super-jock comes to terms with his suppressed sexuality in this tale of masculine love that lends credence to the old adage "never judge a book by its cover." In high school, Troy had it all. But high school is over now, and when Troy's unsuspecting girlfriend goes out of town, the manly jock spends his hours pining over his best friend Merrick. When a series of midnight massages with Merrick quickly evolve into heated sex sessions, Troy's sexual confusion forces him to choose between a life of denial and frustration, or a life in which he can express his true sexual identity. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In this action comedy, a crook trying to go straight finds himself lured back to crime by the police, without his even knowing it. When master criminals Jasper (Robert Pastorelli) and Bristol (Doug Hutchison) pull a heist that nets $40 million in gold but leaves behind several dead policemen, detective Edgar Clenteen (David Morse) pulls out all the stops to put the thief behind bars. Jasper is jailed and ends up sharing a cell with Alvin Sanders (Jamie Foxx), a habitual small-time criminal who was brought in after a bungled robbery of a seafood wholesaler. Jasper, who has a weak heart, suffers a heart attack in jail, and as he dies, he gives Alvin a message to pass along to his wife. Eager to track down Bristol, who still has the gold, Clenteen has Alvin secretly implanted with an experimental tracking device, and then lets him go free, while spreading the word on the street that Jasper told him where the gold was stashed shortly before his death. While Alvin makes an effort to start his life over and get a straight job, Clenteen and his staff are electronically following his every move, waiting for Bristol and his associates to track him down. Bait was directed by Antoine Fuqua, whose previous credit was the stylish crime thriller The Replacement Killers. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
