THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT
Featuring: Lucas Black, Bow Wow, Brian Tee
Brief Synopsis: Young American man gets kicked to Japan after illegally racing. Guess what he does over there...
Comments: If you are male, the likelihood is that you will enjoy this film. Expensive, modified racing cars with exciting race/chase sequences and girls with very short skirts makes this a teenage boys' dream. It's never going to win an Oscar nomination but you know that it's not that sort of film so go, watch and enjoy.
It was a good move to show the young man learning how to drift - if only to deter the average Malaysian wannabe boy racer from wrecking his car and tyres! This wasn't the only educational part of the film - seeing Japan from the American point of view was also interesting (the fact that the leading man was thrown into a whole new culture alone) and something I could discuss with one of my (Japanese) language students.
Things to learn from this film: If you wear a very short skirt, you will get noticed even if you are damned ugly (thanks to my other half for that!).
Rating: 7/10
