The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift has all the elements that spelled success for its predecessors: Speed, sex, and minimal dialogue. The plot doesn't need explication; it's a nonsensical series of confrontations and standoffs that serve to get us from one race to another. Tokyo Drift can most accurately be described as a visual poem about screeching tires, crunching fiberglass, and sleek female skin, set to a killer soundtrack of Japanese pop and hip-hop. The actors are only needed for tight close-ups of narrowed eyes or sweaty hands tightly gripping gearshifts, though Sung Kang, Better Luck Tomorrow, stands out as a vaguely philosophical hoodlum with deadpan charisma. The curved bodies of the cars and the luscious flesh of the women are both shot with a fetishistic hunger. The "drift" style of racing--in which the cars are allowed to slide in order to take sharp turns at high speeds--grabs your eyes; there's a strange, spectral beauty to rows of cars sliding sideways down a mountain road at night. Also starring Lucas Black (Friday Night Lights) as our wheel-happy hero; Bow Wow (Roll Bounce) as the scam-artist comic relief; and martial arts legend Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill) as a yakuza big shot. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
Third film in the action series. Brooding loner Shaun Boswell (Lucas Black) has always been an outsider, his only connection to the indifferent world through illegal street racing. To avoid jail time, Shaun is sent out of the country to live with his uncle, sharing a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo. In the land that gave birth to the majority of modified racers on the road, the simple street race has been replaced by the ultimate pedal-to-the-metal challenge ... drift racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses. When Shaun unknowingly takes on a Yakuza gangster in his first race, he finds that the only way he can pay off the debt is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the stakes are life and death.

The fast and the furious trilogy has delighted in its stunts, story lines and the use of top of the range cars in all of its 3 films.
Tokyo drift is no exception but where as the first film focused mainly on the cars, the racing and the crime, tokyo drift focuses on the life, the girls and the crew! Like the title of this review suggests the transition between the cars and soft porn is more evident in this film but still what do you expect in a predominantly lads film!
Saying that the film stil amazes, the drift scenes are spectacular and require some major guts to pull off in such a small confined area such as the car park. The choice of actors and the use of some spectacular scenery draws the attention away from a rather adequate story line but who cares, you dont watch a fast and furious film to marvel at its use of plot thrillers more the cars, the girls and the stunts!
Great for a lads night in with a good curry and some cards after but id steer clear of a night in with the misses if this is your film choice for the evening... unless shes a petrol head!
Well worth a watch if not just to see the amazing stunts!

Abit like my school report this film is: "could do better". Its not bad but not as good as the original two. It doesn't have the same character as the first two films but has more cars and better special effects. The film also has more computer generated effects which adds to the superb special effects. Although an exciting story line its fairly predictable.
Its a film that you wouldn't mind watching on a rainy afternoon with nothing better to do. The film is not about track or street rqacing its about drifting(sliding) round corners in carparks and mountains.
Overall its worth a watch because of the great special effects, cars and excitement, but in my opinion its not as good as the original two.

Tokyo Drift takes the Fast and The Furious deries back to the slightly grittier first film. The Paul Walker character being absent, and replaced by a troubled young man in need of a fresh start. And the move to Tokyo ensues; the atmosphere of the big city and the Japanese love of souping up the cars is primary. Some excellent car race/ chase sequences follow, as our 'hero' learns the art of 'drifting'
On face value what you see is what you get... if you enjoyed the other movies in the series you will not be dissapointed; if anything this is a fresher take on the genre. The plot at times is questionable, but does not affect the enjoyment of a fast paced and well acted movie.

Tokyo makes the perfect setting for this visually stunning feature.
The third installments of The Fast & The Furious franchise is, as the name might suggest, set in Tokyo and focuses on the driving 'art' of drifting. Read more
