Waste of a good cast. For a movie about bike racing, it never gets up to speed.

Not without moments of excitement, romance and rubber-burning redemption.

When the filmmakers aren't busy accommodating cameo models and comedians, they seem to be dozing off at the handlebars.

The training-wheels version of The Fast And The Furious.

At times entertaining, but never boring. It sure could have been a lot worse.

A surprisingly ambivalent entry in genre that's usually brain-dead.

The widescreen presentation is first-rate, action-packed and loud. It's a guilty pleasure B-movie, a fun way to wile away a Friday or Saturday night.

Essentially, Biker Boyz is a soap opera wrapped up in the trashy-but-flashy packaging of The Fast and the Furious.

Feeble rip-off of The Fast And The Furious with motorbikes. It's true that TFATF was also dim-witted, contrived and loaded with cliches, but at least it did it with visual flair. This is just a waste of time.
