Part 3 of ONE LAST RIDE
Woah. What was I thinking a few years back when I first saw this one? I used to hate this movie and I was completely dreading to rewatch this one, but color me surprised. No, VERY surprised. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is easily the best film so far in the franchise, blowing the first two out of the water. There's an actual plot with understandable motives, a much better sense of pacing, some sick car races and a somewhat memorable villain.
However, I still had some issues with it. Lucas Black might possibly be the worst actor to grace the big screen in quite some time. His acting always garners some…
The "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" of the Fast/Furious franchise, Justin Lin's "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" bears little connection to its predecessors beyond fast cars and a certain cameo. Those fast cars create energy and color, however, making the quick-paced, sometimes exhilarating experience an enjoyable, light-weight romp.
Following a teen troublemaker as he relocates from the US to Japan for one last chance living a life free of incarceration, "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" finds the good-hearted youngster picking fights and racing cars down Tokyo's streets. A rebel without a cause who can rarely avoid trouble no matter his best intentions, the young man finds redemption behind the wheel as his own path tangles…
The third instalment in The Fast and the Furious franchise, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift takes its street-racing thrills to a whole different continent, brings a new freshness into the series by discarding the original cast of its predecessors while adding a few new styles, but this new vibe fizzles out soon as the plot is marred by numerous shortcomings.
Set many years after the events of the first two movies when series chronology is taken into account, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift tells the story of a high-school teenager with a penchant for car racing who's sent to Tokyo to avoid prison time in America for his illegal street racing activities but soon discovers an…
someone pay me to write about the fast and the furious franchise, i'll make it poetic and beautiful like these movies deserve. oh yeah this is a total masterpiece, like just so good in every conceivable way, even the discount paul walker feels perfect especially in the overarching nature of the franchise. it's the only film that doesn't neatly fit into the series but it represents the truth at the heart of fast and furious, that cars are phenomenal but what matters is who's driving them.

Part 3 of One Last Ride
Music for your reading pleasure
"You’re like the Justin Timberlake of Japan, right?"
Damn.
When I originally saw Tokyo Drift a few years ago, Ihated it because it didn't include any of the original cast (except for…) and I also didn't dig the transition from America to Japan.
Younger me is a fucking idiot.
Not only is Tokyo Drift my favorite out of the first three installments, but it is also super cool and super entertaining.
Lucas Black is Sean “Doesn't Give a Fuck” Boswell this time around, replacing Paul Walker’s O’Conner as the lead (white) dude. The one big thing I remembered about this character, from the first time…
"I have money, it's trust and character I need around me. You know, who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are. One car in exchange for knowing what a man's made of? That's a price I can live with."
Drifting seems like the perfect metaphor for this movie. Drifting is a silly maneuver with no real racing applications that is used (mostly in movies) merely to look cool, but it just works. It's fun and it looks awesome. Likewise, the film itself is apparently more concerned with aesthetics than anything else, but it just works. Where 2 Fast got bogged down in bland crime thriller plotting, Tokyo Drift stays focused on character, rooting its narrative…
Es regular en general, no es aburrida, pero el personaje que se lleva la película es Han. Solo por eso se gana el corazoncito.
(Old impressions, not based on a recent viewing)
An angsty entry to the series with a new hero who is more or less on par with side secondary side characters, which makes it all the more confusing why he's the lead in this one. Oh well, at least the racing was fun.
se eu visse o homem principal desse filme na rua eu ia pensar mas um bagaceiro desse bem que podia estar MORTO e nunca ia imaginar q esse bagaceiro ia ficar com a gostosa do filme. no caso apenas estou usando essa palavra pra descrever a moça principal pq é apenas isso que ela e todas as personagens femininas da merda dessa série tem de personalidade. enfim. carros bonitos e é isso.
