Torque (2004)

I have a personal hall of fame for turkeys. This is the leader. Who could possibly be the target audience for this mind numbing clunker?

This movie is one giant commercial for Pepsi and Mountain Dew. With unrealistic fight and chase scene. Two woman fighting on top of bikes, hot right. But they do it right in front of two posters in perfect condition of Pepsi and Dew in an broken down alie. Or two guys racing along the streets over 200 mph threw traffic without helmets, and one walking away from the crash without a scratch but huge explosion. Story sucks, chacters suck, only one thing about this movie are the cool bikes.

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.

WOW! It's the Fast & the Furious on motorcycles! Torque is a ridiculous film from the producers of the Fast & the Furious, and it's basically the same movie except for a few key points. First they didn't have the budget of the Fast & the Furious which is evident by the stunts, which at times actually looked like a video game. I'm all for stunt men doing impossible things, and I don't mind good computer generated action either, however the CGI in Torque is just ridiculously bad, it is however nowhere near as bad as the acting. Instead of Vin Diesel and the dashing Paul Walker, the producers of this film settled for Ice Cube and some guy no one has ever heard of and trust me, the inexperience shows. This film is just as bad as all the other reviews say it is. Some poorly written, badly acted films, can be entertaining...Torque is not!
