Best movie ever!

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Blistering performances.

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.

Torque (2004): Dir: Joseph Kahn / Cast: Martin Henderson, Ice Cube, Monet Mazur, Jay Hernandez, Adam Scott: There is not a single character in this stupid film that has the maturity level above a fourth grader. Everybody wants to fight and when they're done fighting they like to ride their bikes until they can find reason to fight again. Title symbolizes an emotional rush or energy but the screenplay has all the energy of a third avenue drunk. Director Joseph Kahn films it as if he was making a commercial for motorcycles. Martin Henderson returns home after a long absence but trouble strikes when old enemies make demands. Ice Cube plays a gang leader whose brother is murdered by another gang but he is led to believe that Henderson did it. They will clash back and forth until viewers want to bury their faces in their hands and cry. Monet Mazur plays a previous girlfriend of Henderson's. She is basically there to bang him and make the enemies really mad. The rest of the cast is about as lively as a flat tire in a monster truck stunt. Action scenes look terrific but to what avail? Without a good screenplay to back them up, it is just a bunch of racing and crashing and fighting. For all the ambition that went into this crap, the film should be placed on the road so that every one of the bikes featured in screen can run over it until it becomes a permanent part of the road. Score: 2 / 10

I liked this movie. The bike ride with it jumping on to a train was a little ridiculous, but still was a entertaining movie. I am giving it a 10, because this should not be rated as low as it is. Every time I come to this site, the movies are rated the wrong way. Dumb movies get rated higher, and great movies are expected perfect acting, but rated lower saying they are bad acting.I mean come on people. I swear the people on this site are on drugs. They need to get help. I do agree CGI is a little overdone, but that is not what the movie is about. It is about fast racing with motorcycles and cars. Action paced movie. It was great for a PG-13. It is no Fast and the Furious, but it is great to me. I think you people that rated this so low is just nuts.I still see stupid people not even putting a vote for the rating either. That is so dumb this site does not make it mandatory vote. Come on IMDb, get that brain of yours working and developers for the site, and make it mandatory. These ratings are pathetic. I mean I could figure out how to make it mandatory. I know web developing, and I can't get a job, but the people actually working, can't even do it right.Shows why the economy is so bad. The dumb ones get the job and the smarts ones are not even looked at.Back to the movie. I would not have rated this so low. It is at least a 6. Oh well, I guess coming to this site to get the best information on what others think about the movies is not the right site. Now a days teenagers are so much on drugs. That is probably why some of these ratings are the way they are, plus the developers of the site. I guess these reviews are just going to keep sucking so bad as the people typing these reviews.I guess I can't get back to the movie. It is so annoying of dumb people now a days. I recommend this movie, and I would get it on Blu-Ray if it was available.

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.
