Thankfully, Torque knows what it wants to be ... and flashes a jocular self-awareness about its genre affiliation.

Produces little in the way of rotation, torsion or anything else that could be roughly diagrammed as excitement.

The loudest, trashiest, stupidest, cheesiest celebration of ritualized male aggression of 2004.

Even the more attention-grabbing scenes are too obviously faked to build suspense, and too confusingly cut to sustain continuity.

Silly and violent, mostly comprised of stunts.

If you want to see Matrix on bikes, Torque is the stuff. Just as long as you don't want any of that... what do they call it? Acting or something?

...brainless, dull, nonstop action, flashing lights, loud noises, and raucous music for the sake of keeping our mind off the fact that nothing is actually happening.

Torque is so awful it would have embarrassed Roger Corman forty years ago.

Well, a lot action in a movie can be good, but sometimes if you put it too much, it can be a weaker point too, just like this movie.... The action scene with the motor racing thing was great, knowing that motor is more difficult to be filmed than car... The story just okay, but one thing that I don't like from this
