"Bait" doesn't work as an action flick or a comedy or a drama. However, as an action/comedy/drama is makes for a somewhat enjoyable watch. Starring Jamie Foxx in the title role (the bait), the flick is shot like an action film, acted like a drama, with the comedy coming from Foxx who does what he does best playing a fast talking, street wise, bungling hero of sorts. A total no brainer for the younger audiences.
