Synopsis
Biker Cary Ford (MARTIN HENDERSON) has returned to his hometown to reunite with his girlfriend Shane (MONET MAZUR) and take care of a little unfinished business. When he skipped town months ago, Ford was in possession of several motorcycles belonging to Henry (MATT SCHULZE), a ruthless drug dealer and leader of the Hellions biker gang. Now Henry's putting the squeeze on Ford in an attempt to retrieve the bikes, which have something a little more valuable than gas in their tanks. When Ford is less than willing to cooperate, Henry frames him for the murder of Junior, younger brother of Trey (ICE CUBE), the fearsome leader of the Reapers motorcycle gang.
With the help of his loyal buddies Dalton (JAY HERNANDEZ) and Val (WILL YUN LEE), Ford must outrun an FBI agent (ADAM SCOTT) who's hot on his trail while eluding both the misinformed Trey, hell-bent on revenge, and the callous Henry, who's dead-set on getting back what is rightfully his.
Racing across the desert in a perilous attempt to prove his innocence and convince Shane that he's worth a second chance, Ford must outrace his enemies if he wants to clear his name and live to ride another day.
Critics' reviews
- "A terrific action picture, fast-moving, studded with great stunts and smart enough not to take itself too seriously."
- "The first three minutes convince us we're are looking at a commercial before the feature begins. Then we realize the whole movie will look like this."
- "Invites you not simply to identify with its low IQ but to cheer it on."
- "It may entertain you if you don't mind senseless stories and screaming soundtracks"
- "'Torque' has a sense of humor about itself, but the laughs stick in the throat."
- "With the exception of a few dazzling special effects and a digitally enhanced camera move or two... it's also a towering bore"
