Review of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) by Cpal4554 — 30 Dec 2018

Short review: it’s bad. Long review: in a movie in which they act like everything is about drift-racing (which any racer knows is, although stylish, never the fastest way from a to b). Women are constantly portrayed as willing sex objects with little substance, while the main sex object comes with a sob story in the box.

It’s an American action movie, so ofcourse there have to be some fights no matter how meaningless. Honestly I think the soundtrack is okay and the colorful carselection is entertaining, although the ever so typical “an American car wins in the end” is laughable, even with a Japanese base which would never fit it’s a rather obvious sign that this is the American wannabe version of Initial D(rift) which lacked all the Hollywood “spectacle” and American bs, making it the better movie.

Not to mention the over the top southern accent of the main character which grew stale really quickly. The main character is a moron who’s pseudo charisma only seems to exist because everybody around him is even worse, the supposed lifelessons in the movie are nonsense, the typical western-teenagers “only my little world matters “attitude is almost upsetting and I frankly believe the movie was the first of the terrible Fast & Furious movies.

Don’t get me wrong, the first two weren’t exactly Oscar matterial or whatever, but those were just bad, this one is a complete waste of time and resources and should’ve been smothered in it’s infancy.
