a5c7b9f00b Biker Cary Ford is framed by an old rival and biker gang leader for the murder of another gang member who happens to be the brother of Trey (Ice Cube), leader of the most feared biker gang in the country. Ford is now on the run trying to clear his name from the murder with Trey and his gang looking for his blood. It&#39;s actually worth the price of the rental, but not much more. The movie is identical to Fast and the Furious in every way. Same lame lines, same terrible plot, same cartoonish action. This one does feature a cat fight on bikes though, which was absolutely hysterical! Made me laugh my head off. The ending is also right out of Tron with a bike that can go 50 billion miles an hour down a crowded city street without hitting a single thing. They tried much too hard during the last big chase, and it looked more like a video game than a movie. The train scene was also hilarious, reminiscent of such dogsCharlie&#39;s Angels 2 - Full Throttle.<br/><br/>Ah well, at least they have a host of great-looking chicks in tight leather outfits, lots of action and tough-guy talk, and a bunch of great stunts. I wasn&#39;t looking for Gone with the Wind when I rented it, but you would think if they were going to blow 100 mil on stunts, they would have at least paid more than 50 cents for the script. &quot;You messed with the wrong chick!&quot; &quot;Looks like you did b1tch!&quot; HAHAHAHHA! Oh man is that B-movie dialogue! Terrible, just terrible….<br/><br/>But still, a great movie to laugh at. Makes it worth the 4 bucks in rental fees…. I wanted some mindless entertainment where the plot does not interfere with the movie itself, with young attractive people, fast bikes, and big explosions. So I saw &quot;Torque&quot;. I got what I was asking for, and nothing more. You&#39;ve got to hand it to a movie when it&#39;s marquee star is actor, Ice Cube. With all due respect to Mr. Cube, this is not a great movie. Really.<br/><br/>The only other recognizable name is Jaime Pressly, who was recently featured in &quot;Playboy&quot;– promoting the movie no less. However, director Joseph Kahn does have his flashes of brilliance: provides a great-looking cast, and moves so quickly we almost don&#39;t notice the lack of story. In Matt Johnson&#39;s embryonic script, hunk Martin Henderson plays biker outlaw, Ford, who returns from Thailand exile to recover 2 motorcycles– I seem to recall. Anyway, the real reason for his return is getting back with his old flame, Shane, played by the very hot Monet Mazur. Honestly, Henderson, Monet, and Ice Cube do their best with card board character representations.<br/><br/>Kahn keeps our interest with CGI effects, and radical motorcycle stunts. And his cinematic highlight is a romantic scene with Henderson and Monet on a playground merry-go-round with Monet&#39;s thong straps hiked up above her jeans. Now that is genius. Who really needs special effects to tell a story? &quot;Torque&quot; smartly never takes itself seriously. This works, because no one will. The cycle thrills here are everything: flips, collisions, a chase across the top of a fast-moving train and even a zoom down the aisle of one of the train's carsthe passengers take it in stride.
