While more entertaining than last year's "Biker Boyz," "Torque" ultimately is little more than a showcase for its stylish leatherwear and supercharged hogs

Reviews for Torque
One percent dumb plot, 74 percent stunts, and 25 percent attitude, or, rather Hollywood's idea of what passes for attitude.

There is so much testosterone in this film that any woman who watches it will come out of it with a hairy chest and a favorite football team.

A video game on steroids.

If you could just watch Torque, you'd think it's great looking. But if you listen to it, you'll think it's one of the dumbest movies ever made.

Welcome to the last frontier in computer-generated effects -- where you're not even supposed to believe that what you're seeing is possible, just cool.

As long as you consume it as fast as it moves, you won't get indigestion.

Amazingly enough, this two-wheeled spinoff of The Fast and the Furious has dumbed down the franchise.

Torque is a terrific action picture, fast-moving, studded with great stunts and smart enough not to take itself too seriously.

Top CriticZippy, stylish fun.

A movie made by people who seem to have chuckled up their sleeves as they shot the picture and expect to laugh all the way to the bank afterwards.

As for the title, 'torque' basically means 'rotating force,' although it should be noted that it emerges from the same Latin root as 'torture.'

There is so much style, complete with irritatingly constant ultra-close-ups, and so little substance, that it’s hard to imagine even 16-year-olds coming away satisfied.

If you're looking for laughs and have already seen `Bad Santa,' this is your best bet.

As a movie, it makes a great video game.

What’s worse are the repeatedly guffaw-inducing product placements, including a battle of “PEPSI” vs. “MOUNTAIN DEW”

As dumb as January at the movies but fun as well.

It's difficult to tell which is worse -- the acting or the writing.

A guzzle of yahoo-Mountain Dew empty-calorie satisfaction.

It would need to move up several rungs on the evolutionary ladder to be classified as garbage...you come out feeling as though you've just been run over by a semi.
