A two-wheel remake of 2001 hit The Fast And The Furious isn't the worst idea Hollywood has ever had but, for all its full-throttle premise, Biker Boyz has too much sugar in its tank to get anyone's motor running.
What should have been a Cormanesque celebration of crotch-rocket adrenalin, set in the world of illegal LA street racing, is actually a dull soap with a baffling paucity of thrills. Fishburne's ageing speed-king, under siege from newcomer Luke, is a standard ploy, but essential conflict is sabotaged by a worthless plot twist and the fact that both of them are so motherflipping nice. This would be by the by if the action was up to snuff, which it isn't.
