Summary: Another Rip Off
Review: It's the same as The Fast and the Furious, Biker Boyz, etc. But on top of that, this one is full of cheese. They stopped making those types of movies over 10 years ago. It is almost embarassing to watch it. One of the worst movies out there. Hollywood cannot diliver good action anymore. This is a complete waste of money.

Summary: Possibly the most boring movie with wheels ever made
Review: Not even as entertaining as Biker Boyz, which was a pretty lame movie in itself. It shows the speedometer's of various riders going very high, but you rarely see any shots where they're actually driving fast. Okey plot, but very stupid dialogue and exaggerated villains and stereotypes.
Rent or buy "Drive" with Marc Damascas for a good "high-octane" movie.

Summary: A LOAD OF TOSH
Review: This is the worst film ever made. Rubbish acting and a rubbish storyline. Ice Cube should take acting lessons. The producers of the movie should be lined up and stoned to death. How in the name of all that is holy can a script that bad can be made into a movie i don't know. I really hated it. AND THEN SOME! I had to give this movie a one star to get my review in, but it's not worth any stars whatsoever.

Summary: What's not to love?
Review: This movie has it all: insane, completely over-the-top action scenes (which, granted, occasionally leave you shaking your head), great bikes, a little T&A, incredible and well-placed soundtrack, self-depricating humor, and multiple references to old movies (and, well, other movies by the same director). I loved it, as a guilty pleasure, and frankly, as a sportbike rider. So stylized it will give you cavities, it features a healthy dose of all things Hollywood, and not in the bad way. I especially loved how they poked fun at Fast and Furious and themselves and their stunts ("I just jumped my bike onto a moving train"), and the absolutely rockin' strains of Jane's Addiction in the opening canyon run (slow-mo, Perry Ferrell screaming, see also: S.W.A.T. for this same scenario). If you were looking for some Oscar-Nominated bike-movie, then pull your head out of your butt and go rent a French film with Cantonese subtitles to fulfill your lust for all things sophisticated. If you want a good, solid, healthy dose of Hollywood junk food that doesnt leave you feeling like you wasted your money (or that they completely pandered to the PG13 crowd), then this is your film. A pleather-clad, pierced Jamie Prestley fighting another girl on a sportbike...LOL...now that's entertainment.

Summary: don't be fooled
Review: This movie sucked. Yes pretty shiny bikes, pretty people. Pretty things don't make the torture of sitting through this stupid, boring drivel worth it. It is so dumb it is painful. You will feel stupider for having watched it. Everyone involved in the creation of this crapfest should be ashamed!

Summary: The Best Worst Movie EVER
Review: This was absolutely the WORST movie I've EVER seen in my whole life- and it was hilarious. The movie is just so incredibly bad, that it's good. The plot, characters, dialogue, -basically everything was recycled from other movies. It was terribly, terribly unoriginal. In fact, it recycles ideas from so many movies that, except for the Fast and the Furious, I can't begin to state the ones used. Ice Cube is the quintessential actor in this movie- I can't believe someone can scowl for that long that hard. It was oddly fascinating so see how long he could hold one (uncomfortable) facial position. The characters are all paper thin and blatantly fake. The word that sums up this movie is: cliché. I love this movie and plan on buying it asap. If you like really, really, really implausible, stupid movies (Zoolander, Monty Python- although those are original), this is a great one for you. Seriously. Torque's sheer awfulness made it fantastically funny- I cackled through all 81 minutes of it.
Best worst movie I've ever seen.

Summary: I knew it was pretty bad before I ever saw it
Review: To paraphrase the one line in the movie that sums this thing up, uttered by Monster Magnet's Dave Wyndorf in the club fight scene-"I'd like to thank the cast and crew for f***in' up another gig...I'm outta here". Okay, first up, here's the premise: A frame-up plot designed around fight scenes, mostly involving motorcycles, except the club fight scene, which involves only a part of a motorcycle. The gangs are basically rap and techno guys on japanese motorcycles, which might pass as yakuza in Tokyo, but it just ain't happening out in the deserts of the USA. Not even the Motorhead t-shirts and painted-on tribal tattoos can save these guys from looking like posers. Add on top of it cliche'ed badass attitude and dialogue (standing in front of doors to club, three guys-one asks, "Are you all right, man?" and another responds, "No-I'm NOT all right", then BOOM through rusty doors like he was cued "Okay, enter like a bad ass"). There's also the usual crap like extended discussions that just make you want to claw your eyes out as hero and girlfriend talk and pose about a pool and strange outdoor lights with beer.... I gave it TWO stars only because SOMEONE had the good sense to stick Monster Magnet in this...

Summary: Torque fast bikes and hot action are name of the game.
Review: Torque 2004 by Joseph Kahn starring unknown actor Martin Henderson as Cary Ford, in a somewhat entertaining tale involving rival bikers led by Ford and Trey (Ice Cube) and the chaos they unleash to each other when Trey's brother is murdered supposedly by the Ford himself. Despite my gripes I decided to stick around for the duration of this movie and I have to say it's not bad. I definitely enjoyed "Torque" more than I enjoyed the previous movie I reviewed (28 Days Later). It's not pure rubbish like "28 Days Later" but it's still not great either, however "Torque" definitely has an energy and smoothness to it that it's hard to not recommend it (which I do). When I first thought about Torque I thought previous motorcycle flicks "Biker Boys", "Harley Davidson and Marlboro Man", "Road Dogs" and of course going way way back in the Mr. Peabody Time Machine "Easy Rider" from 1969. However Torque is nowhere near the cult status that "Rider" it is though in the same class as the other films mentioned. Lot's of violence, crazy stunts, and some likeable and unlikable characters are what Torque is all about. Yes that's one what expects nowadays, so if your want those elements mixed with a film about bikers then "Torque" will be for you. The plot is sort of believable although I've heard a million times in biker films. Henderson, as mentioned plays Cary Ford, a biker of a gang who is blamed by a rival bike leader Trey (Ice Cube) for the murder of his brother. LOL When you have Ice Cube as the lead in your movie, you know your deep trouble. I don't know what the hell Joseph Kahn was thinking. No rappers I've seen have any great acting talent: IceTee, Eminem all suck as actors. Eminem himself the gay bashing, rapper is a joke as a rapper much less an actor.. The problem is these jokers are playing their spoiled rapper persona onscreen and why the bloody hell would I pay to see this! Anyhow eventually as mentioned, the biker gangs spend the duration of the film trying to eliminate each other thus I got some enjoyment watching these idiots beat the heck out of each other. When I again thought about these gang fights in biker films, I am reminded of the Hells Angels and those biker dudes who go into Sturgess ever year for the annual Bike festival.
Now the stunts and action are pretty good, if you know what a "wipeout" is, you'll be getting plenty in Torque including the first scenes. The stunts range from average
bike tricks to awesome bike tricks including one where Ford tries the familiar "I am gonna race against a train" stunt that is still pretty cool to watch. Also "Torque" is the newer biker movies to now use CGI and special computer effects for stunts. Obviously this does take away a little for realism in the movie such as a high speed chase but from what I can tell the effects crew used
digital effects only marginally in the film. The bikes in the movie are also the attraction; I don't what type of bikes they used (maybe on the DVD they'll spill out this) but I imagined it's a mix of Harleys mixed
with the latest sport bikes like they use at those Motorcross events. The dialogue is cheesy however, I found to be so funny that I think it elevated the film somewhat giving the movie an easy going feeling: "Fast bike huh"- Boy Carl Ford "Yeah sometimes". LOL Brilliant. "Stop acting silly and crazy and I got your back for life !!"- Trey "If you got my back show it"-Black biker!!! LOL Correct me if I wrong but isn't that the appeal of the biker lifestyle that they act silly and crazy? LOL I think the script was written during the directors weekend when he had a couple of Tequila shots because as you can see the logic in the script seems to contradict itself but then again it's this cheesy script to a corny bike movie that had me laughing and happy in end. Now the cons: Well first con is the movie is at times a no brainer action flick, meaning guys get themselves into situations where the normal man would be killed in yet comes away unscathed in a "movie". Henderson as Ford in the early scenes of the movie beats the hell out of two guys one whom has a crowbar in hand, yet Ford miracously disarms this big baboon and tears them both up? In the movie it happens but obviously this is exaggerated.
Cary Ford is absolutely the most pompous arrogant biker put on screen, it's no wonder he has so many enemies. The cops want him dead and this rival gang led by Trey wants him dead too. It's sometimes hard to root him for him as he
fights Trey's gang but eventually he does win you over. The acting well I already mentioned Ice Cube and Henderson. None of these guys are going to win Academy Awards in the near future, and the acting here is average. Since these are stereotypical characters based on testosterone there is no way I can say the acting was good. It's good enough to watch is best way to comment on acting. Mr. Kahn's intension was to make "Torque" a completely over the top film so audiences would love it, well not many did, but I liked it and for the most part he succeeds at doing that.
