Review of Torque (2004) by Justin O — 29 Sep 2012

Here's the thing. On the surface this is the kind of movie I hate. Cartoonish characters, cartoonish and unrealistic action, and laughable plot and dialogue.

But what TORQUE does (brilliantly I think) is it takes all those elements of badness and dials them up to 11, turning it into some kind of self parody of the mindless action flick genre. I found this flick hilarious and loved the unbelievability of it all.

I hated the first two FAST AND FURIOUS movies, dislike most of Michael Bay's flicks (exceptions to THE ROCK, the first TRANSFORMERS, and maybe THE ISLAND), but TORQUE I think is something special. Or I could just be high as fu...
