Review of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 09 May 2009
Lin takes an established franchise and makes it surprisingly fresh and intriguing. The movie is not exactly "Shogun" when it comes to the subject of an American in Japan (nor, on the other hand, is it "Lost in Translation").
But it's more observant than we expect, and uses its Japanese locations to make the story about something more than fast cars.
