Audience Reviews for Torque

Nov 29, 2011

A short, stiff, egomaniacal, and hopelessly cliched piece of crap.

Cary Ford returns to Los Angeles after spending six months in Thailand, where he fled to avoid being framed as a drug dealer. It turns out that Ford was actually holding bikes for the real drug-dealer, Henry James (Matt Schulze), leader of a motorcycle gang, the Hellions who wants his bikes and his drugs back. Meanwhile, Cary has managed to get himself in a bit of a spat with the leader of a rival bike gang named the Reapers, led by Trey (Ice Cube), and when Henry James notices the friction, he decides to kill Trey's brother and frame Cary to attempt to flush him out. All the while, Cary is being tailed by two zealous DEA agents, Agent McPherson (Adam Scott) and Agent Henderson (Justina Machado) who are still convinced that Cary is a drug dealer. Will Ford run away again or to try and clear his name? This movie is a lot more fun than most of the previous reviewers have given it credit for. We have street bikes, sizzling hot babes in tight leather outfits and good looking young studs, a biker gang that resembles the Hell's Angels, cocky cops dressed in thousand dollar suits who ride around in expensive vehicles, throw in some outrageous stunts mix it all together with explosives and we have a fast paced movie we can call Torque", with unstoppable action and a feast for action lovers and video-games fans.
