Wheels--this film may be the new benchmark of feverish chopper action. Martin Henderson plays Cary, a speed king and relatively civilised outlaw with a knack for annoying everyone, including drug smugglers, the FBI, an ex-girlfriend, and, worst of all, biker gang leader Trey (Ice Cube), who thinks Cary killed his brother. On the run from everyone, Cary survives by playing all sides against one another. But the story is less important than the frantic, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek action surrounding it.The Fast and the Furiousproducer Neal H Moritz is responsible for this crazy, violent, yet appealingly sardonic cowboys-on-wheels piece. --Tom Keogh

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 as you will see. As the movie goes on, they get closer, and the feelings they had for each other return to them quickly.
I am not a biker myself and do not generally enjoy biker movies. I have seen a few other biker movies before, but didn't find them very interesting or worth while to watch, however I did enjoy this one. It is action packed and will have you wanted to see more.
The movie is not for everyone, but those who enjoy action movies will enjoy this one. It has had mixed reviews, some people enjoyed it, and others didn't. The movie done what it wanted to, perform action packed stunts and scenes, and it has done this really well.
It is from the directors of 'The Fast and The Furious' and 'XXX', so if you enjoyed them, you will deffinitely enjoy this movie.
The songs featured throughout the movie are a great backing for the scenes. Artists featured are Nickelback, N.E.R.D, and Kid Rock, just to list a few. The soundtrack itself is great to listen to, play them loud!
Quotes from the movie: Cary Ford: I live my life a quarter-mile at a time. Shane: That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard!
Shane: What is it with you, Ford? Everywhere you go, everything turns to hell. Cary Ford: Yeah, it's a talent I have.
The movie did get 4 nominations for: Best Overall Stunt by a Stunt Man Jason Britton Mark Chadwick Two motorcyclists fight and crash into each other. One motorcycle slides out and causes the other stunt man to flip off his motorcycle.
Best Overall Stunt by a Stunt Man Troy Gilbert A Humvee jumps over a freeway divider. The vehicle flips, spins in the air and lands on top of a stopped car.
Best Overall Stunt by a Stunt Man Jalil Jay Lynch Mike McCoy Tim Gilbert Two motorcyclists fight while racing down a road. As a semi truck approaches, one motorcyclist slides into the dirt to avoid a head-on crash.
Best Specialty Stunt Jimmy N. Roberts Jalil Jay Lynch Two motorcycles jump over freeway dividers and land in oncoming traffic.
so it can't be all bad, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten any nominations.
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. ...

Advantages: A break from the norm done well Disadvantages: featurettes leaving you with little information.
A long long time ago, myself and a friend had travelled to the cinema with the express wish of going to see 'Butterfly Effect' - it wasn't my choice, but as the last time we'd gone I'd got to see School of Rock I had to go with it, we never did get to see it and instead ended up watching Torque - which was a waste of time. Some 2 years later and I've finally managed to pick the DVD up cheap in my local shop, and was it worth the wait? Short answer - Kinda.
Synopsis - the whole movie centres around Evan (played by Ashton Kuchter), a youngster who's had an eventful childhood to say the least, his father's been institutionalised, his girlfriend is secretly being abused by her father, his best friend has an un-nerving leaning towards at times downright psychotic tendencies, and Evan himself is prone to blacking out and forgetting whole ...
The saga of Ford (played by Martin Henderson), a motorcycle-riding outlaw out who wants to clear his name of drug and murder charges. The cops are after him, as are rival cycle gangs caught up in a war over turf rights. Ice Cube stars as the leader of the Reapers, an African-American motorcycle gang who thinks that Ford killed one of their members.

DVD Description
The producer of THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS (2001) and XXX (2002) delivers another amped-up road-racing action spectacle in TORQUE. It's the saga of Ford (Martin Henderson) a motorcycle-riding outlaw who wants to clear his name of drug and murder charges. The cops are after him, as are rival cycle gangs caught up in a war over turf rights. Everyone in the film is tough, cool, and has lightning-fast reflexes. Ice Cube lends some heavier-than-a-Mack-truck screen presence as the leader of the Reapers, an African-American motorcycle gang who thinks Ford killed one of their members. Sexy Monet Mazur is great as Slade, the rough-and-tumble girl Ford left behind when he had to flee the country, and whose love he's now come back to reclaim. The thumping soundtrack includes offerings by Jane's Addiction, Nickelback, Kid Rock, and Hoobastank. There's nonstop trick camera work, fantastic stunts and action set pieces--like one motorcycle chase that takes place on top of, in front of, and inside a train. Slade even gets to have a motorcycle cat fight with the bad guy's girlfriend. Acclaimed music video director Joseph Kahn pours creative energy into every yard of this no-nonsense popcorn movie, his first feature film. It acknowledges its junky exploitation roots proudly, and at times seems to achieve some sort of twisted new level of pop art with its well-paced, colourful, giddy, gritty forward momentum.
