Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Paul Andrews Torque starts as hardcore lifestyle biker Cary Ford (Martin Henderson) arrives back in Los Angeles after six months way in Thailand, Cary heads straight for his ex-girlfriend Shane (Monet Mazur) & tries to explain why he hasn't been around for half a year. Hoping to rekindle their relationship Cary starts to win Shane over, however old rivalries are renewed when drug dealing biker Henry James (Matt Schulze) finds out Cary's back in town, six months ago Cary discovered over a million dollars worth of crystal meth stashed in bikes stored at Shane's garage & hid them before taking off to take the heat of Shane & stop the deadly drug reaching the street but Henry wants his meth back & murders Junior Wallace (Fredro Starr) & frames Cary for it, now wanted by the FBI for murder & by Junior's brother Trey (Ice Cube) who happens to rule the Reapers the most feared biker gang in Los Angeles both Cary & Shane go on the run in an attempt to clear their names...This Australian US co-production was directed by Joseph Kahn & Torque is about as big & dumb as they come but at the same time is strangely watchable in a brainless sort of way, there's lots of adrenalin fuelled masculine based action featuring high powered motorbikes & lots of good looking people. The plot isn't that great, even though it only lasts for 80 odd minutes & has a terrific pace Torque is just a really dumb & silly film that will have most shaking their heads in disbelief at times. From riding motorbikes on the tops of speeding trains to turbulence from speeding bikes making the ground tremble to a last ten minutes that I simply cannot explain, as if Torque wasn't video game enough then the last ten minutes looks & feels just like one. The script seems to take itself quite seriously with little in the way of (intentional) humour apart from a yuppie couple in a yellow sports car, there are numerous heated confrontations between various character's that are meant to be tense but come across as silly posturing, the fight between Shane & China on motorbikes at the end in particular. Nothing in Torque has any rational reason, I mean what if Cary is caught by the FBI? Henry wouldn't get his meth back then would he? With Cary in the clear then surely Henry himself would have become a suspect? Couldn't Henry come up with a better plan for finding out where his drugs were than framing Cary for murder? Does that even make any sense to anyone? Why did Henry need Trey's permission to sell his drugs? Why not sell them elsewhere? Why try to set the deal up when Henry didn't even have the drugs anyway? There are plenty of questions, the one main plot twist at the end is so abrupt & seemingly thrown in there for no reason that you wonder why they bothered. Jaime Pressly steals the entire film as evil female biker who looks really sexy & slutty in tight leather.It comes as no surprise that first time feature film director Joseph Kahn background lies in music videos & Torque is a typical soulless substance over style where every shot tries to be cool, every action gets an extravagant 'swoosh' sound effect. Torque looks pretty slick & there are plenty of visually cool moments, great looking motorbikes & cars, an attractive cast & some decent action scenes including a ludicrous train roof scene, a freeway chase, lots of jumps, skids, inhuman speeds, fights, & even a few explosions as well. Everything about Torque is designed to get as many people chasing Cary & Shane as possible & nothing else matters. There are some CGI computer effects which looks alright, there is also some seriously obvious & frankly shameless product placement. Producer Neal H. Moritz previously produced The Fast and the Furious (2001) & xXx (2002) which says exactly what sort of loud, over produced under scripted film Torque is.With a supposed budget of about $40,000,000 this didn't do much business at the box-office, the whole film is glossy & slick & narrative plot is sacrificed at every opportunity over a flashy piece of CGI, a cool looking motorbike or some sort of macho confrontation. The cast doesn't really feature any A-listers & I certainly don't count Ice Cube as an A-lister, as I already said Jaime Pressly is totally hot as the bad leather clad biker chick.Torque is a bad film, a really bad film, it's a video game that goes for flashy graphics & cool moments rather than anything resembling a plot, I did quite like it for it's mindless action & colourful visuals (& Jaime Pressly in leather, OK I won't mention her again...). Loud music, garish visuals, a ridiculous plot & lots of fast motorbikes is about what you get here.

Ben Sisson Where do I start??? Let's start with the story. Been there done that, but it's with bikes and there are not a lot of biker movies (compared to the amount of street-racing car-movies). Therefore, the movie makers had an opportunity. Did they use it? No way!!! The actors are terrible. My favorite terrible actor would be Ice Cube. This guy is grumpy in all his movies but it doesn't add up to his acting skills. Hilarious to watch. His brother in this movie (Fredro Starr) is really annoying. His dumb facial expression when he is knocked off his bike by the slipstream of fords biker gang in the beginning of the movies says it all. I hate this guy, and therefore it's a plus point his character gets killed off pretty soon through the movie. Monet Mazur: Beautiful actress, really!!! But she really can't act. "looks like you did b****" Hear this quote at the end of the movie and cry. Matt Schulze is good as the villain. He was cast perfectly for this movie. Next stop, the action. It was terrible. These sequences are so bad, you would be better off enjoying James Bond making mistakes during filming. A Hummer that makes a bad jump and spirals through the air. It would spiral-crash back on the road or where ever, right? WRONG!!! They could of saved a part of the Porsche if physics where not miss-used in this movie. I won't even go on about the impossible climax chase between henry and ford at the end. Batman couldn't of done that stunt even if he was on steroids. Overall, a pretty terrible movie. **** out of 10* ---> killing junior in this movie (too bad he didn't receive a razzy) * ---> Casting Matt Schulze * ---> Trying something different other then car movies * ---> Hearing Nickleback at the end of the movieMy advice? Watch Wild Hogs :)

morkulv_athferion The whole setup of this movie is to make cash. From the beginning the movie just looks overproduced. When I tuned in I even thought it was some kind of commercial, and I was right because this whole movie is basically a advertisement for motorbikes. The way a sign at the start reads "cars suck", the comments throughout the film "thats why I hate 4 wheels!". Its pretty obvious, even though you can't really take stuff like that serious.There are a lot of errors in this film as well, but what I didn't like about this film is that it focuses too much on the bikes and vehicles. Believe me when I say that this has nothing else to offer then people racing against each other with a very thin plot about a guy who gets framed for a murder he didn't commit. Thats basically the entire premise of this movie, so if you are not into bikes and cars (yes those people exist) then you can scratch this movie from your list now.One aspect that was not that bad was the use of CGI to create a kind of hyperdrive-feeling during some of the driving/chase scenes. But again, this feels like a bike-commercial quickly. Hell, they could paste a Yamaha-logo at the end of a driving-sequence in Torque and there you go; a perfect TV-commercial.The characters also are nothing different from the typical Hollywood-stuff, and they are just as thin as the plot they are representing. The acting could be worse, but the dialog is the most awful and laughable tripe you will ever hear. If bikes are your life and you always wanted something like Fast and the Furious but with bikes then give this a try, if you want a good movie then just avoid this.
