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

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.

This Fast and Furious film was fun but not as good as the others. It had some good action but not as exciting as the previous films. It still has some fun parts

Fast cars, drifting, Tokyo mixed in with some cliche and bland characters. There are some good points in the form of unintentional humor and a cameo by Vin Diesel to tie the film together but its definitely not brilliant, by any means but what exactly about these movies are?

The Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift is dull and can honestly be skipped. The film spends way too much on time on cardboard characters and a story that is formulaic and predictable rather than focus on the fun action. This action when focused on doesn’t feel fun and exciting like it kind of didThe Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift is dull and can honestly be skipped. The film spends way too much on time on cardboard characters and a story that is formulaic and predictable rather than focus on the fun action. This action when focused on doesn’t feel fun and exciting like it kind of did in the first one or like it did in the second but is boring. Some of the visuals are cool and one race is decent but I don’t care. The lack of substance or interesting characters has always been an issue in the franchise buts its especially prominent here when there is no one to attach to and the excessive time we spend with them. The ending to the film will bring in some smiles for reasons if you’ve seen it you know but over that than that there is no point. Hopefully that ending is a promise to do better next time because this film didn’t have a point to being watched. It could work as a spinoff but the franchise hasn’t reached the level where it could earn the right to do a spinoff and even then this wasn’t a decent spinoff. Hopefully next time the franchise gets its act together.… Expand

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