Advantages: Action packed Disadvantages: no proper story line
Torque does not have a solid story-line but it is about a biker, Cary Ford (Martin Henderson) who was under suspision for dealing drugs so he left the country. Now 6 months later he returns for the one thing he left behind, Shane (Monet Mazur). Upon his return he is greeted by a gang of bikers and is already being watched. He gets framed for murder of Junior, Trey's (Ice Cube) brother, who are a member of a motercycle gang. Ford has to find a way ... ...or other bikers. He is being framed by Henry (Matt Schulze) who is trying to get his drugs back from Ford.
The movie is actioned packed and will keep you entertained with the car and bike chases. Watch as they ride their bikes on a train and in and out of cars. It is deffinitely an adreniline pumping movie. There are a number of different bike tricks performed, so prepare to be amazed, I sure was.
There is real chemistry between Ford and Shane ...

Advantages: I didn't waste good money at the cinema seeing it Disadvantages: Read the review
The smell of burning rubber hangs in my nostrils. I thought this movie would be good. I'd already seen Fast n Furious 1 & 2 and XxX. Sadly it's got more cheese than Mickey Mouse. Ford returns to patch things up with his ex girlfriend and gets framed for a murder he didn't commit. He has to unframe himself and clear his name for a bike theft. Plenty of scantily clad women for the blokes that watch this and for the girls well there's muscle bound, ... ...chrome, rubber burning bikes there's plenty of them! You thought XxX was noisy well get your earplugs ready for this one. Forget cotton buds or Audiwax for clearing out your lugholes, just sit and watch this for 1hr 20mins! Starring Martin Henderson, Monet Mazur, Matt Schulze, Ice Cube and Jay Hernandez. Directed by Joseph Kahn who didn't make anymore movies after this one suprise suprise!

Advantages: Fast Bikes, Fast women Disadvantages: Could have been better
Forget what the other reviewers have said about this film (except the ones saying that it's good or OK). They are probably not even bikers!! (ie: car driving bike-haters that are slatting a film off about bikes). Don't get me wrong, my review isn't all "technical", but read it and see what the DVD is REALLY like.
I am a biker and can tell you that this film ROCKS!! Yes I know that the story line isn't perfect, some of the stunts are ridiculously ... ...are? (OK, Armageddon) All films have their downfalls if you want to pick at them.
This film is a "pop-corn" flick, as the director describes on his commentary version. With no real story line or meaning to it - just a film to be enjoyed for the sake of it.
I will say that the commentary version with the actors is the most entertaining, funny and interesting commentary version of ANY film I've EVER watched (and I'm not exaggerating). They all have ...

Advantages: Best bike film ive seen in a while Disadvantages: Biker boyz meets Die Hard
I must say this is one of the best bike films ive ever seen and really is worth buying. It follows the story off rival american bike gangs, some bent police/FBI and some hot chicks. Its made by the producers off Fast and Furious, XXX and Swat so you can tell its going te be action packed but a great film. Basically it follows a guy called Ford who has been set up for murder and is wanted by the police and a guy who has lost all his drugs. A bike ... ...have to team up to get the true vilan. The bikes on this are great and so are the stunts. At one point two bikes are riding across the roof of a train and another Ford climbs out a moving pro race car onto a bike to chase down his girl. You really ought to see this film if your into cars/bikes/action. ...
