The only thing I don't regret about seeing Toque is that I didn't have to pay for it. If I did, I would go right now to Warner Brothers and ask them for at least a partial refund, or an explanation? How is there so much money put into a bad rip-off of any given bad biker exploitation drive-in flick from the 50's or 60's? The plot is near non-existent, mostly giving Ice Cube time to give him one-faced/voiced performance (which isn't that good considering the script, anyway), and for scenes of chases and violence and rage that have no conviction or thrilling moments whatsoever. I'm not even sure who would WANT to go see this movie, unless they're dragged to it by a movie-goer who doesn't know better.
Bottom line, I'd rather watch a Roger Corman type of biker film from the old days- they may have been cheap, shlocky entertainment, but at least they knew it and had fun with it. Torque is one of those action-movie nightmares where you can sense all the actors and extras and stunt-people just wanting the movie to end so they can go on with their lives. Neal H. Moritz needs to re-think his strategies as a producer after this (then again, this IS a January release film, so it could not have come out at a better time). F
