Leave your thoughts about Biker Boyz.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekBasically a slow, lazy soap opera that just happens to be set in the world of California bike gangs...the intimate scenes plod mercilessly, shapeless and distended. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanA blatant re-spin of ''The Fast and the Furious'' that also happens to be a far better movie. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIf you want old-school cool, you go to Laurence Fishburne. |
| NY RockSpyder DarlingAdrenaline-enriched junk food for the soul. |
| Movie MomNell MinowThe plot tries to be epic and primal, but it is just derivitive and creaky. What works, though is the vibrant presence of some of today's most arresting actors. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanA surprisingly ambivalent entry in genre that's usually brain-dead. |
| TheWorldJournal.comFrank OchiengStill, this frenzied concoction of Yo! MTV Raps meets The Fast and the Furious in the mean streets of discontentment plays like a misguided melodrama running on an empty gas tank of worthy ideas. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerFor all the testosterone-driven soap opera, this entertainingly confused coming-of-age story is a seductive fantasy, a rare portrait of urban underworld machismo without the violence and the viciousness. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayIt will all look pretty ridiculous to grown-ups, but to 13-year-old boys (and adults with well-tended inner versions thereof), Biker Boyz will be the perfect testosterone-fueled, flash-edited, music-driven joy ride. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaThis startlingly lame tale about a young upstart challenging a veteran leader of the pack doesn't update the genre, it simply recasts it. |
