Critic Reviews

Michael Sragow

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

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

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

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

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

Peter Travers

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

Why is this movie so great? Well 4 reasons:

1. Tokyo is a city built for racing, at night; ho **** fking ****
2. Cars...dayum
3. Girls, yum yumm. Naughty anime girls ;)
4. Han is a fking champ. He's a boss. All star right there.

"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.Life's simple, you make choices and you don't look back." - Han

I think this movie is the best of "The Fast And The Furious" trilogy. It was a great idea to get a main actor with a texan language accent, for example. I also think it's great the way this movie crushes some "movie clichés". The cast is great, having the gorgeous Keiko Kitagawa I think this movie is the best of "The Fast And The Furious" trilogy.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift wasn't the best Fast and Furious movie, but it was the fourth good one, after 1. Fast & Furious 6 2. Fast Five and 3. The Fast and the Furious (2001).

Tokyo Drift is by far more enjoyable than previous Fast and the Furious films. This is still lame and stupid but there's something really fun and entertaining in this one.

A strange departure from the previous F & F films and the subsequent F & F films in that it didn't feature Vin Diesel or Paul Walker or Michelle Rodriguez. In other words it was kind of a dud.

In other words it was kind of a dud. It was also a step down from the other F & F films in terms of the story line surrounded a High School senior who liked to street race. The other F & F films are about adults who are part of the street racing world as a way of life-not folk trying to balance their relationship with their parents & school & street racing. It just isn't the same thing. There was an element of the adult world in the presence of a Yakuza gangster in Tokyo Drift but it wasn't comparable to anything else in the rest of the F & F franchise. As a stand alone project it is also hit miss-claiming that drift driving originated in Japan-when rally racers in Europe had been doing it long before DVD's ever existed. So, what can I say that good about it-its a good portrayal of spoiled western teens living in Tokyo with possessions that include custom cars. There isn't much good I can say about basically because it basically isn't a good movie.… Expand

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