Slick Will, the mechanic for a legendary motorcycle racer named Smoke (Laurence Fishburne), is struck dead during an off-the-grid race. Following the funeral, and in opposition to his mother's protests, Slick Will's son, Kid (Derek Luke), starts racing in the same fringe circuit -- but, despite Kid's skill and showmanship, Smoke refuses to race him. Spurned by the man he looked up to, Kid starts a rival motorcycle gang called the Biker Boyz, and a showdown between them is inevitable.

Critics Consensus

Waste of a good cast. For a movie about bike racing, it never gets up to speed.

Alexander Walker

London Evening Standard

The dialogue is almost as loud as the exhausts; and the bits of detail aren't enough in a movie that teens may find delivers an unpalatable message -- daddy knows best.

A dull soap with a baffling paucity of thrills.

This underdeveloped outline of a movie concerns motorcycle hustlers striving to become the “King of Cali” for reasons we can never know.

Rated: 1.5/5

The List

Basically this is a cheap rip-off of The Fast and the Furious, with fewer thrills, fewer spills, and two fewer wheels.

Not bad at all, just not super cool either. I'm not sure what else there is to say about it. Kindof like a mashup of a bunch of other movies, is the feel this gives. Maybe worth watching, go see "Torque" instead.

Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, o filme trata de grupos de pessoas com motocicleta de vários tipos Choppets,ducatis, e outras mais, a história do filme é mais ou menos, não tem uma cena que melhora o filme é praticamente corridas de motos, o elenco é bacana, com o lawrence fishburn como protagonista mas isso não faz o filme ser realmente e bom.

Absolutely LOVE this movie. The star power, quality narrative, the different relationship dynamics at play, the extreme emotional context and the overall sense of freedom. It all resonated with me and I absolutely loved the soundtrack. This is one of my top ten movies of all time and if you want to watch a feel good movie with some angst, a lot of heart and some laughter this is that one. Powerful! 🏍️💨🏍️💨🏍️💨

Because of the fabulous cast I was hoping it was going to be a great film but it was sadly a huge disappointment! It did have part's that were believable but unfortunately most of the movie was lack lustre.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

This movie was star studded. I gave it 5 stars for the cast, story line, and the ending which reminded me of my father. He passed away last June and now I have to pick up the torch. The ending was emotional for me and I have the torch now.
