An MTV inspired thrill ride, a ride fitted with stock chrome and kitted out with campy vibes and an inane concept. The uncreative twist only bolsters the negativity abound. Saving graces are present however, Ice Cube turns in an aggressive performance but remains throughout the entire film as the only believable character. Martin Henderson is irritating, at one point slamming down the same phone he probably used to phone in his performance. In conclusion, stuffing a film with soapy,scantily clad females bent over washing cars and loud pipes will always entertain, but it will never be capable of anything in the realm of brainpower.

Seriously, this movie is so incredibly bad it's hilarious. When a guy without a helmet crashes a motorcycle at 80 to 100 mph hits the ground, rolls a few times and jumps up and starts fighting someone ... that's friggin' funny! It seems any time anyone crashes a motorcycle there is always someone to fight the minute you stop rolling. The biggest laughs are when they're riding super-bikes 100+ mph zig-zagging through traffic as if that weren't enough they're also having a gunfight and the guy in front is looking backward most of the time! Why not an meteorite fight?As far as I can tell this is supposed to be The Matrix meets On Any Sunday meets any gangster movie meets any teen romance movie but misses the mark by so far you can't begin to believe it. BTW what the hell were the dancing horses/motorcycles all about?! I'm giving it 2 stars because I don't know when I've ever laughed that hard ...

Where to start? The weird insane stunts that have no basis whatsoever in reality? The bike that knocks the clothes off women for being so fast? The tough-cookie women that don't flinch at killing off a score of people but can't bear to let anyone see their flapjacks? Or the racist black guys that dismiss dead white people as part of the fun? This movie was a crapfest from start 'til finish with a bad plot used as a thinly veiled excuse to unleash crazy motorbike stunts that are gtaIV in quality. I'm not even going into the dialogue, because that just annoys me, it isn't even "so bad that it's good" it's gone beyond that all the way back to bad again. Avoid or watch while intoxicated on some illicit substances, although I doubt that will fully cushion you from the god awfulness of this movie. I actually threw up afterwards to purge my system, but I couldn't purge my brain. What has been seen, cannot be unseen. And please dear God, can someone stop Ice Tea from acting in movies, ever again, thanks.

I'm probably not the first to say it but, this is the kind of material that belongs in a video game not a movie. Lots of action, flashy visuals, and no story. Torque fails, not so much because it is gimmicky but because the viewer never gets to be a part of it. From the very first minute, the movie shifts into overdrive and moves so recklessly that it becomes incoherent, unengaging and consequently dull. After returning from Tailand to his home in Inglewood California, renowned biker Cary Ford is framed by an old rival for the murder of Junior whose brother Trey is head of the dirtiest bike gang around. While on the run, Ford along with his buddies and girlfriend, are in a race of time to get the evidence needed to prove innocence. and bring down the criminals behind the real murder.Like so many filmmakers before him, director Joseph Kahn relies on style and adrenaline alone to make his film debut compelling. About ninety percent of Torque is either fighting or chase scenes. It literally zips by so fast that at times it looses track of time, space and dimension. More importantly however, Torque moves so fast that it looses the viewers, making it hard to watch let alone watch and enjoy. I'm sure there are some people out there who would be satisfied with Torque just the way it is, but I say it needs to slow down big time. I don't recommend it.
