Checking over the reviews of Torque it seems to have an interesting cult following among folks who apparently just like mindless action films. I like them too, but when you write one at least give it a coherent story and some interesting characters you might care about.Torque is the biker movie dream, if he were alive Steve McQueen might want to do stunts incognito. The story as it is concerns Martin Henderson who has to find some crystal meth people say he's holding, avoid Ice Cube who leads a black motorcycle gang who says Henderson killed his brother and bring the real killer to justice. And also avoid some crooked cops.So for almost 90 minutes we are treated to an endless amount of stunts involving two wheel and four wheel vehicles with a few words of dialog to tell us how Henderson is progressing with his goals. If you like this stuff Torque is the movie you've had wet fantasies about all your life.But for me, just a tad bit of a coherent story and a tale told competently acted.

Here is this movie. This movie, as opposed to all other movies in history is about machines that are not as good as cars, motorcycles. Some people, for whatever misguided reason, believe that motorcycles are fun and sexy. I'm very certain this movie is about a secret agent who has to launch a missile at the moon. WE GOTTA BLOW UP THE MOON! That's what all the characters shout through-out the entire movie, we gotta blow up that f*cking piece of sh*t moon! Human mortality cannot be overcome but motorcycles can be customized so the American flag is painted on the gas tank,America bitches! If you want to masturbate do it in private cause if you do it it public they will arrest you.

Story/Plot - Torque is a bikers version of The Fast & Furious but is a very poor version at that. The idea is good but the story line and screen play is no where near that of FF.The story is as follows, a biker named Carey Ford played by Martin Henderson is in a spot of bother when he is left with a few drug filled bikes and needs to save face. He makes the decision to put the bikes under lock and key and leave his girlfriend and home behind.For some reason he decides to return in a bid to clear his name but finds himself being framed for the murder of the brother of feared head honcho of a bike gang. The leaders name is Trey played by Ice Cube. As well as being chased down by Trey he is also being hunted by the FBI.My verdict - I have only watched this once and do not plan on it again unless forced to.

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.
