The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Third the high-octane action franchise with an all new cast (aside from a brief Vin Diesel cameo), about a convicted street racer who attempts to start a new life in Tokyo but finds himself on a collision coars with the Japanese underworld. While Tokyo Drift is the third in the Fast and the Furious series, it would appear last chronologically.
Having found a home in illegal street racing, outcast Shaun Boswell (Lucas Black) finds himself in trouble with authorities and to avoid jail time, he is sent to live with his father in Tokyo. There he discovers drift racing (the way in which high-speed racers take corners on hair-pin heavy tracks). In a match-up against dangerous legend 'Drift King' Takashi (Brian Tee) he loses and winds up owing a big-ass debt. To pay it off, he must venture in the dark underbelly of Tokyo street racing.

Reviews & comments
It was good. . . . Too good
Ok, first off the whole plot was indeed and real turn off from the prior movies. A new character was the best change BUT potentaly fatal , I heard fast and the furious 4 will be screened next year and if they dont add in sean boswell people will raise eyebrows and wonder what happend to him . This movie IS the best car racing movie . . . .ever . Cant wait...

The movie was awesome. I wished that they showed what happend to Toretto after the first movie. Fill us up what happen to his team. Overall kick ass movie. PLEASE, I'm dying to know what is the name of the Opening Credit song to Tokyo Drift. Somebody email it to me please at aphy125@excite.com.

Loved the film, race/chase scenes were some of the best that I have seen! Black's acting was impeccable he showed depth in playing his character, a cheeky so'thern boy in a foreign land that just loved his cars. Bow-wow was just od for his part, eye-candy and out of the way.
The plot was a little weak but the twist in the end on how it ties in...

pressAs in the previous two installments of the Fast and Furious franchise, this largely consists of macho tantrums, vying for the girl, intense vehicular mayhem and high-octane homoeroticism.

pressIt's not much of a movie, but a hell of a ride. So what if the movie dumbs down Japanese culture to a bad yakuza movie? The cars are the stars here. Everything else is lost in translation.
