About This Movie

Bait (2018) brings together a gritty action-thriller vibe that pulls you in with its suspenseful pacing. FBI Agent Lily LeCroix, portrayed by Michelle Felice Hartley, is a dedicated, relentless figure hunting down a serial killer who’s not your typical villain. The performances are solid, particularly with Wadiah Brown and Mark Resnik adding layers to the story. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that grounds the film, giving it an authenticity that’s sometimes missing in bigger productions. The atmosphere oscillates between tension and urgency, making every chase feel palpable. It’s a film that’s not just about the hunt; it dives into the psychological strains of being in the line of duty, which adds depth to the usual chase narrative.
