The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

The opening half-hour may prove to be a disreputable classic of pedal-to-the-metal filmmaking.

It'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 and features Japanese characters who can barely speak Japanese? The cars are the stars here. Everything else is lost in translation.

This third installment of the popular series about fast cars and the posturing boys who love them is best viewed as an energetic cartoon, an unintentionally amusing, head-shaking guilty pleasure that will divert those not in the mood for anything more profound than gleaming metal and preening women.

For all its crashes and flash, this is a movie that drifts away as we watch it. Muscle cars and all, it's often a waste of gas.

The problem with contemporary Hollywood isn't that so many of the movies it's churning out are based on formula; it's that so many directors take perfectly good formulas and wreck them with bad filmmaking.

It's all about eye candy and the quick tease. It's not over fast enough.

Lucas Black, who looks as much like a high school kid as George Bernard Shaw, speaks in a thick Southern accent that hasn't been heard on any leading man since the second act of "Our American Cousin."

Unquestioning the best part of this series. This movie deeply transformed the pop culture at it's time.

因为电影的背景设定在日本，所以很多亚洲的演员都参与到了电影的制作中来。不过即便是日本的观众也很难认出他们来，因为他们很多人都是从日本移民到美国的亚裔。其中大多数人都不会说日语，因此制作组特地让他们在短时间内“突击”学习日语

A good film from my childhood, especially because I love Japan and its culture.

İlk izlediğimde de beğenmemiştim son izlediğimde de. Oyuncu kadrosunu yabancıladığım için olabilir.
