Leofwine_draca The biggest problem with this movie is that it is mispackaged as an action-packed thriller when it is in fact much more of a drama involving human relationships, status and emotion, with little or no action to recommend it to the crowds. The bike racing sequences are a huge disappointment, involving ultra-cheesy "bike tunnel" POV shots from the riders and other exterior shots which make them look like they're riding really slowly. Stunts are limited to a CGI smash-up and a guy skidding off his wheels, big deal. At other times we're treated to fancy shots of guys riding their bikes in weird ways, such as on one wheel, which quickly becomes boring.Much more interesting is the human side of the story, which sees Kid, the young hero discovering that his nemesis is in fact his dad, and challenging him to a bike race to the finish. Before things get going on this front, however, there's forty-five minutes of mundane drama to endure. The lead, Derek Luke, isn't bad at all, quite surprising for a newcomer to the movies. Laurence Fishburne is as cool as ever but the supporting cast don't really make much of an impact. The best bits of the movie invariably involve Fishburne reflecting on his situation, but the action crowd will be well disappointed with a movie which promises plenty of thrills but provides only minimal excitement.
lcplthomasc its a different and better movie than Fast and Furious. People that compare the two are missing the essence of both movies. Also much better than Torque, and once a again, that was a different movie to begin with. Both bike movies, but different. As much as other viewers, racers, bike riders or whoever else disagrees, this movie sheds a light on a variation of bike culture that is very real here in the United States. it wont appeal to all bikers probably, but it should. the characters in this film and the people they represent in real life love their bikes just as much as any other corner carver, stunter, etc. They just manifest it in a different way. as a movie, it has its shortcomings, but they are expected considering that this is a for-profit movie. not everyone can have enclosed helmets when you are paying the wearer gazillions of dollars to be IN the movie. Not every bike visual is going to be real speed/real time because that would be visually boring to a lot of people that are not enthusiasts. and I dare any other critic to name a better biker movie, or for them to post up when their's is releasing. this film, IMO, is nowhere near as bad as most of the posters are making it seem.
tjs25 Not sure what movie the other person was watching, but i enjoyed this movie very much. I also am not sure if they've ever rode on a motorcycle before but some of the tricks are not as easy as they look. I had no problems following the storyline and it is definitely one of the better motorcycle movies that i have seen. i am, however, unaware that a movie about motorcycle drag racing and bike gangs needs to have explosions and fancy effects. This isn't one of those "fast and the furious" movies about trying to catch the bad guy with illegal racing intermingled simply to make the movie stand out and have appeal. I do agree though that some of the race scenes appeared to be at 30 mph. All in all its a good movie and if you're into motorcycles, its especially good.
paid-party I think this movie was good. It had a pretty good story line and the actors are fun! I would say watch it... it has potential, there should be a sequel. Laurence Fishburn is a great actor and it is nice that the boy is trying to be like his dad. This is definitely a movie for mature audiences only because you have to be mature enough to understand the plot and follow the story, it is not one of those "teen" movies.It is a great movie to watch if you are not afraid of bikes and death, but if you are and if you can't understand deep stories, this is not the movie for you! If you can handle it, sit back and enjoy this movie, and oh yeah, Kid Rock kicks butt!!!
