The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift (DVD)

After the moderate success of the first 2 movies it seemed almost inevitable that The Fast and The Furious franchise would make a third and hopefully final outing. The first film seemed to have something different, it was a decent concept, with a couple of decent actors and the whole concept worked. The second was no where near as good but at least held a throw back to the first film with the retention of one of the lead characters. From the moment I heard about Tokyo Drift I thought it would be a stage too far, but would I be proved right? Having been turfed out of a number of schools Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) is shipped off to Tokyo to live with his father. ...  Read the complete review

Written by Chris Morgan and directed by Justin Lin Tokyo Drift was the third film released under the "Fast and Furious" name back in June 2006. This review is based on a television showing a couple of weeks ago and not the DVD, therefore I cannot comment on the additional or bonus features, whether it is a single or double DVD, what the cover of the DVD looks like, who is credited on the cover of the DVD or anything else that the DVD contains. I am not bothered about the actual DVD and will watch the feature length only, therefore this is a review of the film only. ****Plot**** Sean Boswell ("Lucas Black") is an ...  Read the complete review

FILM REVIEW ONLY I enjoyed the first movie in this series "The Fast and the Furious" (2001) and hated the sequel "2 Fast 2 Furious" (2003) so wasn't too sure what to expect from the third helping "Fast and Furious - Tokyo Drift" released in 2006.

Black plays Sean Boswell, a young American who is sent to Japan to live with his expatriate father as an alternative to going to prison for racing a fellow speed ...  Read the complete review

When Vin Diesel and Paul Walker took The Fast and the Furious to the big screen and came back with a big tick next to it, all seemed well. Then 2 Fast 2 Furious saw Diesel effectively replaced with Tyrese Gibson in the bad boy role, albeit a different character. It didn't meet with great reception and was definitely a disappointing sequel. The third film, Tokyo Drift, has all the appearances of a disaster, so I wasn't too worried about putting it on last night as more of a background film as opposed to through something to do. I couldn't have been more wrong. There is a lot of focus in the news at the moment about the dangers of excessive speed and dangerous ...  Read the complete review
