The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift plot
"On the streets of Tokyo, speed needs no translation."
Shaun Boswell has always been an outcast. His only connection to the outside world is illegal street racing. To avoid jail time, he has to go to his father in Tokyo who is in the army there. Japan is now just the country where street racing was invented... On his first failed attempt, he takes on the "Drift King" associated with the Japanese mafia, Yakuza. He is forced to enter the underworld of Tokyo in a game of life and death.

Fast and furious without fast and furious.
All this part has to offer is some fun speeding around Tokyo in brightly colored cars. The story and characters are almost caricatured, but if you don't pay too much attention to that, it's still an entertaining movie. But apart from parts as fun as the first part, too much of a real hero is missing in the whole.

“Fifty percent of something is better than a hundred percent of nothing.”
An odd man out but an entertaining Fast and the Furious adventure. The franchise is moving street racing to Tokyo, which is refreshing. At times Tokyo is really beautifully portrayed and is almost a character in itself. Just like the beautiful cars that are allowed to race over the Japanese roads again.
The acting wasn't too good, but luckily it wasn't disturbing. The film takes itself and the characters a little too seriously and more humor and perspective would have been welcome. A bit like the most interesting character Han (Sung Kang does act well). The racing scenes looked nice but I missed a nice heist. Racing against each other gets boring at some point. But this Tokyo Drift has become an entertaining film.

Same third part.
The drifting is a nice variation on street racing, Japan is a suitable setting (although they could have done a little better with Hong Kong, cinema wise they also had a racing fascination in the 80s/90s) and the action gets pretty spectacular (especially when they drift over the famous Shibuya crossing).
But it is not yet clear to me from which rock they fished Lucas Black. Looks 10 years older than his role dictates, speaks with a terribly silly accent and acts really ridiculously bad. Compared to him, Walker deserves another Oscar. The rest of the cast isn't that much either (and some mixed up Asians who have to pass for Japanese) but aren't really annoying either.
The course is also quite transparent, besides the racing you don't have to expect much interesting things, but the playing time is not excessive and before you realize it it is all well and good again. Somehow I am surprised that this series has lasted so long, but it is certainly not a disaster.
2.5*
