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 wasn’t that bad.

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.
