The Bait is a 2010 Canadian crime comedy film, directed by Yves Simoneau. The film stars Guy A. Lepage as Prudent Poirier, a bumbling Montreal police officer who witnesses the death of mafia boss Carboni, and Rachid Badouri as Mohammed Choukroune, a French secret service agent who is sent to Montreal to pose as "Ventura", a new police recruit who is paired with Prudent in an attempt to recover information about Carboni's death. As the mission goes awry, however, the two are forced to uncover a wider conspiracy that implicates their own bosses as well.
