New York Daily News
If you want old-school cool, you go to Laurence Fishburne. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
A blatant re-spin of ''The Fast and the Furious'' that also happens to be a far better movie. - 70
Washington Post
It 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. - 40
Austin Chronicle
Neither the riveting boy band documentary nor the riveted gay porn its title seems to suggest, Biker Boyz is instead a late-model knockoff of 2001’s outlaw auto racing epic The Fast and the Furious, reconfigured with a predominantly black cast and a whole lotta two-wheeled saké. - 40
Los Angeles Times
There's more than a little Oedipal melodrama tossed into the mix. But the movie rarely gets as sappy or as contrived as one keeps expecting. - 38
USA Today
Though it's only 90 minutes, the film drags, making these not-so-easy riders pretty tough to watch. - 38
Baltimore Sun
However you pronounce Bythewood -- I assume it's by-the-wood -- his work here is strictly by the numbers. - 30
Washington Post
Has the stink of man-musk all over it.
