The first time I saw a preview for this movie it was called "Road Torque" and the first thing out of my mouth is, "Ummmmm the road doesn't have any torque... the machine does". So yeah I knew this movie was going to be horrible from the start, and when they changed the name to just "Torque" it didn't change the fact that it was going to be a bad movie.
The action scenes do not require suspense of disbelief, but suspense of all rational thought. Why cant the movie industry realize that all bikers are not Gun totin,Drug dealin, murdering gang members? The stunts are silly. Stoppies into trees, Fighting on bikes at over 120 mph, jumping onto a train? There is a scene where the bikers are on a train jumping from one trainwagon to another without their front or rear wheels getting caught, going from 100mph to zero and dropping in between two wagons, and then racing through the train and opening doors that actually open TOWARDS you by ramming them with their front wheel. They continue racing through construction sites, taking out the wooden barriers with their unhelmeted heads. Ok, for anyone who has ever ridden a motorcycle this is just beyond ridiculous. This kind of action gets boring because it loses all sense of suspense or surprise, it's just arbitrary.
This one was worse than biker boyz and I hated Biker Boyz.
