Summary: mindless fun!
Review: Torque is a great movie if you don't think about it too much.The bike chases are great, except for the last one. It looks like they ran out of money for the CGI or were just in a hurry to finish the scene.Monet Mazur and Jamie Presley are hot! Their bike fight was fun and there was product placement a plenty.The DVD has an excellent 5.1 soundtrack that will give your surround sound system a work out.The 16x9 widescreen picture is excellent.This is a great DVD and a must buy.

Summary: Zoom, zoom...
Review: Torque isn't a movie. It's a music video, except it's 1 hour and 20 minutes long. And it's really quite fun.I don't even know why I rented this movie. I'll be the first to tell you that beyond BT's work with the soundtrack, I found little redeeming in The Fast And The Furious. I didn't even bother to see 2 Fast 2 Furious. I sat through 5 minutes of Biker Boyz and laughed the whole time at it before deciding it wasn't worth watching. But for some reason, when I started watching Torque, I started smirking. Before I knew it, I was grinning like an idiot and enjoying this completely and utterly absurd guilty pleasure. The plot? Not that it matters in a movie like this, but the basic concept is this guy Ford (Martin Henderson) comes home after spending some months in Thailand to take care of some things that have been hanging over his head. See, it seems he skipped town when some stuff regarding motorcycles, drugs and his hot babe went awry. So he's back to try and fix things, but of course, things get way worse when the little brother of Ice Cube's biker gang gets offed in a dirty bathroom, and Ford gets set up to take the fall. It's predictable, it's derivative, and it's merely a tool to link the racing / fighting / fighting-while-racing scenes together. Director Joseph Kahn, a veteran of, surprise, music videos, bestows his big-screen debut with an insane amount of polish and gloss. To his credit, Kahn does have a good eye for the action, and as a result the completely impossible stunt pieces look great. Kahn actually has a sense of timing with his effects and slow-motion shots, giving some method to this total madness. The action figures...er, actors? They stand, zoom (zoom) around, pose, look pretty, drop groan-worthy one-liners left and right, and generally have a good time. It's about as much as one can expect from a flick like this. So what sets Torque apart from its equally moronic brethren? The fact that it doesn't take itself seriously. Kahn and his cast know they're not making "real" movie, or at least seem to. Everything is played up for a sight gag, and even the script, as dumb as it is, has enough sense to poke fun at itself. "I live my life a quarter-mile at a time," Ford says at one point in the film, to which his cuter-than-Christmas co-star Monet Mazur responds, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." YES!!! So grab yourself a brew, a big bowl of popcorn, or nachos, or pizza, or whatever, and kick your brain's kick-stop down. Then turn up the volume, sit back, and enjoy 80 minutes of CGI-enhanced stuntwork, slow-motion effets, zoom (zoom... Yeah, I've seen those Mazda commercials too many times...) zooming cameras, gorgeous women, macho men, and enough comedy, more intentional than not, to please even the most jaded critic. Like John Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China, Torque does everything with its tongue firmly planted in its cheek, and thanks to that, is more fun than it has any right to be.

Summary: Torque- Formulaic but Entertaining All the More
Review: Torque, the new action flick from producer Neal H. Moritz, who produced other smash hits including The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, S.W.A.T. and XXX is actually good. Don't get me wrong the plot is disposable, infact there barely is a serviceable plot but somehow this movie entertains especially when the action gets going.
Martin Henderson plays Ford, a biker who gets in some trouble with rival bike gang. Ice Cube plays a leader of a gang called the Reapers who are after Ford since Cube's character thinks he killed his brother. The Hellions are another group who are manipulating the Reapers into think that he killed his brother when it was indeed them, (the leader of the Hellions gang, played by surprisingly Matt Schluze). Director Joseph Kahn makes his directorial debut and makes a fine one. Though his film makes little sense with an ill-conceived and nonsensical plot it still is worthy just for its groundbreaking and spectacular bike stunts. Some might see them as fake, especially in the finale which is CGI. But overall it's mainly good fun. Surprisingly this movie felt a little long for being an astoundingly short 81 minutes. But you'll like it trust me, at least for the action.
Torque is rated PG-13 for Violence, Sexuality, Language and Some Drug References. The violence includes gunplay, head-banging fights and explosions. The sexuality isn't explicit mainly innuendo along with suggestive dancing. Language is moderate while not being overly strong. All in all, it's a fine ride, especially if you enjoyed The Fast and the Furious movies, XXX and S.W.A.T. See Torque, now playing in theatres everywhere.

Summary: A nice & pleasant surprise
Review: Usually, with this type of movie, the plot takes a back seat to the action & special effects. Surprisingly, though, that wasn't the case with Torque. Of course, the critics (Surprise!! Surprise!!) didn't like the movie at all, taking EVERY opportunity to run this movie through the mud, which made me think that they just might be wrong ;-) Boy!! Were they EVER wrong!! THIS MOVIE KICKS ASS, MAN!! Who would've ever thought that Ice Cube would be credible as a biker dude? The plot is sound, the acting is great, and the special effects add just the right touch (I like how it doesn't overwhelm the movie) After you watch this movie, you won't feel like you wasted your time doing so.

Summary: Should have been called "Needs Worque"
Review: Yes, let's just admit it finally, Torque is the first and probably will have the distinction of being the absolute worst film of 2004. The only movie that will rival Torque for that honor will be Cody Banks 2. Torque is basically about 3 rival biker factions with really bad attitudes and even lower IQ levels. It's also about how much special... excuse me, "Not-so-special" effects can be crammed into a film before the budget is totally blown. There is obnoxious viewpoints through the engines, carbeurators and pistons of various vehicles, none of which you should find fascinating unless you have a weird fetish for that sort of thing. And apparantly the "Hero" of this film played less than aptly by Martin Henderson has to have a straight up BAMF attitude as well. Since the 3 rival gangs have the same attitude, as well as the same rock bottom SAT scores, the only solution they have is to kill each other and or implicate the others in murder investigations. Torque is really bad, don't get me wrong. It might remind you of the Cannonball Run parts I or II, the scary thing is Cannonball Run parts I and II are EASILY superior to the piece of trash that is Torque. This movie is chock full of the scummiest, most horrible human beings imaginable, I cannot imagine you or anyone else wanting to hang out with them unless you are rock stupid and need an example of how to just be "Stupid". Please, avoid at ALL costs!
