| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend
ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees
and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like.
If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are
normally found at Amazon.

Torque
Movie Rating: Wonderfully Stupid |
|
Biker Cary Ford (Martin Henderson), in a ridiculous red leather get-up that he never
takes off, gets framed for murder by evil, drug-dealing rival bikers. To clear his
name, Ford does a lot of dangerous bike stunts and outruns the bad guys, the FBI,
and yet another rival biker gang, led by the snarling Trey (Ice Cube). Meanwhile,
Ford's tough, mechanic ex-girlfriend Shane (Monet Mazur) gets enlisted to help out
and flip her hair around.
You get roaring bikes, ass-kicking violence, impossible stunts, explosions, and
hot, sweating, pouty young actors who spit out their lines in a way that suggests
that someone just out of the camera's range is constantly poking them with a
cattle prod. As a screaming piece of junk-culture product, it's wildly successful,
deliriously stupid, and nearly perfect.
