The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Why is everyone so down on this movie? The lead actor, Martin Henderson, is solid. Adam Scott is funny in a supporting role. The storyline is basically a motorcycle race--no false-advertising there. A lot of action, good villains... I don't know why the public came down on this so hard (critics and audiences alike).I like his film. I have watched it twice now.I like good movies. For example: Escape From New York, The Thing, Pulp Fiction, Last Days of Disco, Red State, Clerks II. Torque does not quite reach the level of these, but it's worth watching. It's better than, for example, any of the Fast and the Furious movies.I think Torque must have come out at a bad time. That's the only explanation I can think of.The worst moment in the movie is the blatant advertising in the female biker showdown, but if that scene were cut, this would get an extra half-star from me.A solid effort by the director. I hope he didn't change his style because of the reaction to this movie, because he hit the mark he was aiming for, in my opinion.Sheesh. Lighten up, people. This is a perfect Saturday afternoon movie.

Where to start? The weird insane stunts that have no basis whatsoever in reality? The bike that knocks the clothes off women for being so fast? The tough-cookie women that don't flinch at killing off a score of people but can't bear to let anyone see their flapjacks? Or the racist black guys that dismiss dead white people as part of the fun? This movie was a crapfest from start 'til finish with a bad plot used as a thinly veiled excuse to unleash crazy motorbike stunts that are gtaIV in quality. I'm not even going into the dialogue, because that just annoys me, it isn't even "so bad that it's good" it's gone beyond that all the way back to bad again. Avoid or watch while intoxicated on some illicit substances, although I doubt that will fully cushion you from the god awfulness of this movie. I actually threw up afterwards to purge my system, but I couldn't purge my brain. What has been seen, cannot be unseen. And please dear God, can someone stop Ice Tea from acting in movies, ever again, thanks.

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 :)
