Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: It's too long and self-consciously progressive to be entertaining, but it's too well-intentioned to be dismissed altogether. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: There's a good story in here somewhere, but it's been dumbed down for Biker Boyz. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Biker Boyz is just a silly film. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: As films go, it's as bad as an Elvis movie some of the time and better than an Elvis movie, but not by much, the rest of the time. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: With its choppy pacing and tentative acting, the movie often feels like a montage of film clips hastily pasted together to tell a story. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Though the bikes are fast, the drama idles, with corny characters taking themselves more seriously than heads of state negotiating arms treaties. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: A blatant re-spin of The Fast and the Furious that also happens to be a far better movie. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Even if you don't know much about motorcycles going in, by the end of Biker Boyz, the words 'manifold exhaust' may suddenly seem clear to you. Read more
Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News: Like most of the Westerns it was patterned after, Boyz is disposable entertainment. Read more
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly: After Dancing in September, his droll examination of race and representation in Hollywood, Bythewood now hawks contrived escapism in lieu of provoking thought. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Biker Boyz is the kind of movie Howard Hawks would have made if he'd lived long enough to feel the heat of hip-hop's impact on the culture at large. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Biker Boyz has an idea, but not an approach. Read more
Jeff Stark, Salon.com: Biker Boyz is about fast motorcycles and the tough dudes -- and even tougher chicks -- who soup them up in illegal street races. Unfortunately, it's about more than that. Read more
C.W. Nevius, San Francisco Chronicle: It takes some work to make 100-mph motorcycle races boring, but they've managed to pull it off here. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The training-wheels version of The Fast And The Furious. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Timid about pushing the action pic envelope and an uncertain of tone, Biker Boyz never really busts out of second gear. Read more
Nat Johnson, Village Voice: When the filmmakers aren't busy accommodating cameo models and comedians, they seem to be dozing off at the handlebars. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: The perfect testosterone-fueled, flash-edited, music-driven joy ride. Read more
