Umm It was good ***(Three Stars) |
|

This fast paced high intensity movie is all about fast cars
and Hot girls. We meet this young high school boy named
Shawn (Lucas
Black) who travels from town to town with his
single mother, but once he gets in trouble with the law (we
don't know why or for what he got in trouble) he has to
either go to jail or go visit/live with his father in
Japan. Once in Japan he has to deal with his distant father
and with feeling as an outsider in a foreign country with a
major language barrier, and there he meets up with the bad
crowd, or the Japanese mafia. |
|
He befriends Twinkie (Lil
Bow Wow) and Han (Sung
Kang) and together they help teach him how to
race and Drift. Its all about the Drift (Peeling out while
spinning sideways.) This is like the old chicken movies or
race off movies where winner takes all. Of course with the
drama of him being attracted to DK "Drift King" (Brian
Tee) who is the enemies girl Neela (Nathalie
Kelley.) I dont know why im really telling you
about the characters for there is really not much character
development in this film its mostly about the racing and the
very realistic car crashing action. However you do get a
glimpse into DK's frustration as he begins to sweat and
panic as he starts to loose a race.

The best thing about this movie other than the racing was
the exposure of the raw and uninhibited Japanese culture,
with the cramped shops and buildings. |
|
My favorite line is when Han (Sung
Kang) is Telling Shawn (Lucas
Black) why he decided to believe in him and he
said: "I have money but what I need around me now is
character. Who you choose to be around, truly shows who you
really are" |
|
I am afraid that this movie will encourage reckless driving
and people trying to drift in the parking lot or race and
weave in and out of traffic. However it is an enjoyable and
fun movie with fast cars, and will ensure a fun ride.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo
Drift
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Action/Adventure. Shaun Boswell (Lucas Black), who has
always been an outsider. A loner at school, his only
connection to the indifferent world around him is through
illegal street racing -- which has made him particularly
unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time,
Shaun is sent out of the country to live with his uncle in
the military, in 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, gravity-defying
automotive challenge ... drift racing, a deadly combination
of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of hairpin turns
and switchbacks. For his first unsuccessful foray in drift
racing, Shaun unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King,"
with ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The
only way he can pay off the debt of his loss is to venture
into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the
stakes are life and death. 104 minutes. MPAA Rating: PG-13
(for reckless and illegal behavior involving teens,
violence, language and sexual content).
