- 80Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA terrific action picture, fast-moving, studded with great stunts and smart enough not to take itself too seriously. Amid a plethora of high-minded, big-deal, year-end Oscar contenders, it offers a welcome contrast (and respite).
- 75Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe movie is a guzzle of yahoo-Mountain Dew empty-calorie satisfaction: A quick blood-sugar high, an eyeful of bikes and bosoms, and you're out of the theater in 80 minutes. And on a bleak winter's day, that can be meal enough.
- 75Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe movie is as adolescent as it sounds, but Kahn keeps your eyes popping with truly nonstop action and some of the most outlandishly inventive effects you've ever seen. And of course Cube is so supercool it's worth the price of admission just to watch him.
- 70L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonL.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonZippy, stylish fun.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe film occasionally pokes fun at itself, although not nearly as often as it should. I don't recommend it for anything more significant than a bottom-of-the-barrel rental or a desperation cable choice, but it delivers what it advertises, and I suppose that could be considered a virtue.
- 50USA TodayMike ClarkUSA TodayMike ClarkThe cycle thrills here are everything: flips, collisions, a chase across the top of a fast-moving train and even a zoom down the aisle of one of the train's cars as the passengers take it in stride.
- 50Seattle Post-IntelligencerEllen A. KimSeattle Post-IntelligencerEllen A. KimPurely an easy-to-digest testosterone flick anyway, with standard bikini babes, roaring engines and bikers who circle each other slowly in the dust before they rumble.
- 38Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonChicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIt may entertain you if you don't mind senseless stories and screaming soundtracks.
- 30Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanWith the exception of a few dazzling special effects and a digitally enhanced camera move or two... it's also a towering bore.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenWith the exception of a decent train-top chase, Torque is all vroom and no action.
