It's another slick-and-quick muscle car of a movie, racing along for a couple of hours, taking you nowhere as fast as it can.

It may be a dismal comedy thriller, but Antoine Fuqua's Bait has one piece of bait that's definitely appealing: Jamie Foxx.

But what little humor there is in the movie becomes subservient to the grisly violence, gratuitous cruelty and ugly car chases.
