Critic Reviews

Baltimore Sun - Michael Sragow

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

L.A. Weekly - Scott Foundas

Manna from gearhead heaven, the third and most guiltily pleasurable Furious emits the crude thrills of a 1950s drag-racing cheapie, only with souped-up Toyotas and Nissans in place of gas-guzzling hot rods, and slinky Asian temptresses substituted for poodle-skirted teenyboppers. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan

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. Read full review

Premiere - Ethan Alter

The problems with Tokyo Drift start with its ostensible hero; during the course of this movie, Sean makes so many dumb decisions it's a wonder that anyone wants to be associated with him. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Brian Clark

Racing junkies would be better off browsing the myriad of online drifting videos where the camera doesn't cut and the people don't speak. Read full review

USA Today - Claudia Puig

Has plenty of fast cars and revving engines. But unless you're a fan of that sort of thing, its stultifying plot and wooden acting is likely to make you drift - off to sleep. Read full review

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers

The F&F franchise ran out of gas half way into the 2001 original. Read full review

This movie is hilarious - the most I've laughed in the past six months. It starts out completely ridiculous and only gets more so, approaching the level of sheer one-dimensional unbelievability within the first two minutes. Hundreds of busty girls, Japanese who don't speak a drop This movie is hilarious - the most I've laughed in the past six months. It starts out completely ridiculous and only gets more so, approaching the level of sheer one-dimensional unbelievability within the first two minutes. Hundreds of busty girls, Japanese who don't speak a drop of Japanese, evil mobsters, and hundreds of Maaad Driiifts - this is what makes American cinema great. Every conventional gauge of a good movie fails, but that;s where it suceeds - its so goddarn awful that its incredibly perfect. No joke, Tokyo Drift exceeded every expectation I had, and they were all pretty high.… Expand

I haven't had this much fun at a movie since seeing The Transporter 2. From the opening scene, in which you see the high school football team destroying a Native American piñata, you know you're in for some action-packed and politically incorrect fun. I have never seen such I haven't had this much fun at a movie since seeing The Transporter 2. From the opening scene, in which you see the high school football team destroying a Native American piñata, you know you're in for some action-packed and politically incorrect fun. I have never seen such undeveloped female characters. All they did was objectify themselves. But in the end, who cares? The music is great, the visuals are stunning, and Han is just so damn cool! Here's hoping that they set the fourth installment in an equally exotic location.… Expand

Drifting is NOT my thing. I like road racing, but I decided to see the movie when it came on cable, simply because it was a FATF movie. My favorite part was the very first race with the Viper, everything else was just barely enjoyable.

Though it's considered the worst in the franchise, Tokyo Drift has more heart to the story,despite the bad acting and is the only one in the franchise that has unique car chases made really well.

It's just the same mindless car chases that we have already seen in the two previous installments. The plot is messy, the film is noisy, and it has nowhere new to go.

Just like the last 2 movies, this movie has no plot and unless you are 16, it cannot be enjoyed!
