With a bad story, laughable dialogue and cartoonish action sequences, Torque--brought to you by The Fast and the Furious producer Neal H. Moritz--looks more like an 81-minute commercial for its cross-promotional 3D motorcycle racing game "Maximum Torque"than a movie. 

The monotonously macho action-adventure ''Torque,'' wears testosterone as if it were a new fragrance from Mennen.

--Elvis Mitchell (The New York Times)

Torque is not a good movie. But it's watchable and even a little enjoyable, in a perverse sort of way. If you're male and 13 years old (or older and drunk), you won't hate yourself for having bought a ticket. 

--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)

---

Ice Cube rides a rad motorbike, but there's little excitement to be found in this torpid knockoff of "The Fast and the Furious."

--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)

---

The movie is nothing if not kinetic, and it is capable of winking at its own idiocy.

--Ron Weiskind (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

While watching the film, a question continually ran through my mind, why should I care? And as a screenwriter, you better damn well make sure there is no reason to ask this question. 3/10

--Julian Boyance (Movie-Vault.com)

...a ridiculous yarn about biker gangs in California’s high desert, bears all the absurd CGI-enhanced action, groaner dialogue, and gash-ridden plots of Neal H. Moritz’s aforementioned prior productions, but for the first hour at least, it almost works. 

--Eric Meyerson (FilmCritic.com)

---

Torque is a film about bikers, designed for bikers, in order to rub their combined egos to levels where their heads become as overblown as the film itself. 

--Carl Lazarevic (MovieWeb)

---

Joseph Kahn's popcorn flick is blessed with a tongue-in-cheek script, plenty of burning-rubber chases, and a sense of its own ridiculousness. Slick and shameless, it's the most guilt-wrapped pleasure of the year. 

--Jamie Russell (BBC Films)

---

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. 39/100

--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)

---

Another ‘new wave’ exploitation flick from the producer of The Fast and The Furious, Torque is as fast-paced and loud as it is dumb. 

--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)

---

Gassed up with dumb-assed, diesel-fueled delirium, 'Torque' is a true guilty pleasure. 6/10

--Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)

When films get this bad, something like "Torque" can be laughed at for its stupidity. There's no point slamming it because it knows its so bad & doesn't care - yet its not the crap classic it wants to be - its stuck well in neutral...  --Garth Franklin (DarkHorizons) The film is better than it might have been, and better than it had to be. Take it on its own terms, and you might find it interesting.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times) "Torque" is a motorcycle picture, like one of those old Jack Nicholson grungy-biker flicks but retooled for the MTV generation. There are races, fights, explosions, knuckleheaded cops, rival gangs and more dumb motorcycle stunts than in the last "Charlie's Angels" picture. --Walter Addiego (San Francisco Chronicle) "Torque" apparently aims to do for action movies what "Scream" did for horror flicks.  --Christy Lemire (San Francisco Examiner)
