Torque Wrenching My Guts
20 October 2006
I would have given another star for the film's cinematography and attempted special effects. Those are the peaks. Now for the valleys,which are deep. The film just hacked me off too much to give it another star. Why? Just about everything else was too stupid, cliché, unrealistic, trendy and meaningless. After watching the first 15 minutes of this "turd with handlebars", I wanted punch every character in the face. I can't imagine real people acting so arrogant and pretentious and living to tell the tale. And as usual, Ice Cube puts on his patented "constant anger" face. And the comical one-liners put The Fast And The Furious to shame. Is this acting, or just another means to a Hollywood paycheck? Probably the latter. If this film is meant to parody the genre, then the parody part must have been used for toilet paper. If it is to be taken seriously, then it should be flushed down the toilet the producers sat on when they thought this one up. MTV would be proud of this attempt to further spread mindless, hypnotizing pop culture to the masses. Jaime Pressley is a hot one in her kinky attire, but I'd still rather sniff dog turds than sit through this crap. Terrible.
