あらすじ

バイカーケアリーフォードは故郷に戻り、ガールフレンドのシェーンと会い、未完のビジネスの世話をします。 2か月前に彼が町を離れたとき、フォードは、冷酷な麻薬の売人であり、バイカーギャング "The Hellions"のリーダーであるヘンリーに属するいくつかのバイクを持っていました。現在、ヘンリーは、タンクにガソリンよりも少し価値のある自転車を回収しようとして、フォードを絞っています。

作品考察・見どころ

ジョセフ・カーン監督によるミュージックビデオ由来の過剰な演出が、物理法則を凌駕した快楽的な映像体験を生み出しています。リアリティよりも色彩の鮮やかさとスピードの興奮を優先したその姿勢は、まさにハイパー・アクションの極致。一瞬の油断も許さない怒涛のカット割りと、重力を無視したバイクスタントの連続が、観る者のアドレナリンを極限まで呼び覚まします。キャスト陣が放つ、ギラついた野性味とスタイリッシュな佇まいも大きな魅力です。アイス・キューブの威圧感とマーティン・ヘンダーソンのクールな魅力がぶつかり合い、画面から熱気が溢れ出しています。本作の本質は、論理ではなく感性に訴えかける「走ることへの渇望」の具現化にあり、映像表現の限界に挑んだ野心的な一作として今なお異彩を放っています。

This eighty three minute live action cartoon is brought to you by Pepsi. Yes, Pepsi, the choice of a new generation. Also, Mountain Dew. Do the Dew! And finally, Doritos...I can't remember what the Doritos tagline was, but they were delicious! Motorcycle enthusiast and all-around annoying gearhead Ford (Martin Henderson) is fresh back from tooling around Thailand, where he spent six months finding himself and hiding out from the law, who want him on drug charges. He looks up his old girlfriend Shane (Monet Mazur), who was harassed by FBI agents McPherson (Adam Scott) and Henderson (Justina Machado) looking for Ford. Villainous Henry (Matt Schulze) is also looking for Ford, trying to get some motorcycles back. Trey (Ice Cube) and his motorcycle gang have just turned down Henry's drug deal, brokered by Trey's ne'er-do-well brother Junior (Fredro Starr), who is promptly killed by Henry. Henry's scary Goth girlfriend China (Jamie Pressly) pins the murder on Ford. Ford, his two bland sidekicks whose names I didn't catch, and his equally bland girlfriend are soon on a desert run to Los Angeles, with the cops and Trey's gang hot on their trails. If you can ignore your pounding headache and make it through this thing, there are some good points. Martin Henderson plays a nice leading man who is not perfect, I was reminded of Kurt Russell in "Big Trouble in Little China." Ice Cube has the best terminal scowl in the business- when he's unhappy, you believe it. Pressly is good as China in a too-small supporting role. Adam Scott is a riot as the unorthodox McPherson. But- some of the action scenes here must be seen to be believed. Other action scenes are beyond belief, even after being seen. The entire film is like one long video game, where all logic is tossed in favor of tons of impossible stunt work and a simplistic story my seven year old son could have dreamed up. It may have helped if I thought the cast and crew were in on a big joke, winking at the audience but there are too many wasted chances, and too many earnest performances, to make me think we are supposed to take all of this lightly. The idiotic product placement could have been played with a la "Wayne's World 2," yet it also seems serious. In the end, "Torque" is just as loud and annoying as the motorcycles themselves. I found a few diamonds in the rough here and there, but the headache medication hasn't kicked in yet for me to recommend it.
