Burn rubber, not your soul
As an avid biker, I mainly rented this film for the bikes. What I was expecting was Fast And Furious, but with bikes. Not good. What I got wasnt that bad. It was reasonably acted, half decent plot, some awesome stunts and very nice bikes. That said, have you ever tried riding a bike over 60mph without any eye protection?

Boyz in the hood - on bikes
I viewed this in the same evening as Torque - what a mistake, this film had everything going for it but burned out practically b4 the first race. For all of Torque's mistakes they didn't forget the one thing that counts - the bikes, why did you watch 2f2f?? the storyline! nope -the cars! - why make a film where the central characters spend more time off the bikes than on them - it trys too hard to be 'boyz in the hood' it hurts - avoid this like you would a speed trap - this is a turkey
