The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift (Non-Spoiler Review)

Genre: Action/Thriller
Sean Boswell, who has always been an outsider. A loner at school, his only connection to the indifferent world around him is through illegal street racing -- which has made him particularly unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent out of the country to live with his uncle in the military, in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo. In the land that gave birth to the majority of modified racers on the road, the simple street race has been replaced by the ultimate pedal-to-the-metal, gravity-defying automotive challenge ... drift racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of hairpin turns and switchbacks. For his first unsuccessful foray in drift racing, Shean unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," with ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The only way he can pay off the debt of his loss is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the stakes are life and death.
Summary written by Press Release


Ahh... fast cars & hot chics! What more would guys want? I have to admit, i'm not really a car enthusiast, i felt kinda embarrased when i kept asking my friends in the cinema "hey wut's that car model/name, blah blah...". But who cares?! I think i'm still filled with testerone, cause the sound of Blow Offs and engines RAVing just turns me on baby! Plus having a hot chic in a hot car? I'll go speechless...

K k... better cool down a lil, my adrenaline is running wild now =p. Now this is gonna be my first review, gettin a lil nervous fer no apparent reason, hehe. Now i'll try to be as neutral as possible by not being to bias. Bust most importantly... SPOILER FREE! I will review this movie by using feedbacks from both guys and guys that i went and watch movies with.

THE CAST

Everyone likes Paul Walker who plays O'Connor in the first 2 installments, no doubt he's one cool dude. However i think Lucas Black who plays the main character in the movie as Sean Boswell, does a pretty good job in the movie. Haha.. i just have to add, seeing an American in School uniform is really funny.

Special notes about the Japs in the movie, their slang is hard... i mean hard to understand! xp
SO make sure u pay special attention to what they say!



THE CARS

MmMMm... CARS! Director Justin Lin had done a good job in this area. Cars that look good, sound good and at some point... 'feels good'.

Sadly though, is that i dun get to see much of the speed of the car as this movie focus more drifting. Still, the director manage to put in good mixes of elements, drifting, drag racing and sprinting.

Guys: Drooling...

THE er... CHICS?

"Reedie... Seto...GO!" Whoa b4 i get all excited. Ahem* Yes, boys... this movie is really meant for you... the Jap chics in the movie are yummy!

Gosh, i really have to learn the trick from Han, now that's a brilliant way to pick up gurls! ngek ngek*


Guys: They just couldn't stop drooling...

TRACKS

The tracks in the movie are superb and really fits the events and enviroment. The track that i'm currently hooked at the moment is by the TERIYAKI BOYS: Tokyo Drift (Fast & Furious).

Tracks played during races and car chases really pumped up the scence too.

Sadly though, was the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD i bought, it does not include all the cool tracks that featured in the movie. Maybe they'll be included in the "Inspired" album.

Conclusion

Overall, i think is a movie that is really good for the guy audience. Gurls will still enjoy it, unless they expected the movie to be filled with hunks and pretty boys in pretty cars :p.

Is a movie that really suprised me from the low expectation i had bout the movie. Plot and story is straight forward, but who cares, i just want more races! The ending really was an extra suprise too :D... watch it and u'll know.

I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

but but... it would be superb if they featured at least a HONDA in it!
