Here he has a run in with DK, the best racer and nephew of a local Yakuza, who isn't happy about Sean talking to his girlfriend. His father forbids him from having anything to do with cars but it isn't long before a classmate introduces him to the local 'drift racing' scene. Instead of being centred on undercover cop Brian O'Conner it follows teenager Sean Boswell who is sent to live with his father in Tokyo after destroying his car in a street race. This film may be part of the 'Fast and the Furious' series but, apart from a brief cameo, it features an entirely different cast. Reviewed by Tweekums 7 / 10 A new cast in a new city Superior stunts, adrenalin-laced races, and a sympathetic protagonist make this "Fast and Furious" installment a breath of fresh air.
Brian Tee makes a first-class villain as TK, while Sung Kang is appropriately laid-back and cool as a glacier. Lucas Black is terrific as the fish-out-of-water hero. Of course, the Chris Morgan screenplay is shallow, but he fills the action with interesting characters. On the basis of its stunt driving, ""The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" ranks as a good movie. The drifting here, particularly during a town race, is breathtaking stuff. Lin does a terrific job orchestrating some complicated action, especially the scenes where drivers drift. Inevitably, our hero clashes with the nephew of a Yakuza boss played by the legendary martial arts superstar Sonny Chiba.
As Sean Boswell, he winds up in Tokyo and has to prove himself in an entirely different culture. Lucas Black plays a high school kid who is attracted to trouble, but he isn't a professional thief or a public servant. Although the hero is a misunderstood misfit, he isn't anything like the major characters in the previous films. Second, until the ending, we don't see anybody familiar. First, the action takes place in Asia instead of Los Angeles.
"Better Luck Tomorrow" director Justin Lin's "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" qualifies as a departure from the norm for a franchise. Reviewed by zardoz-13 8 / 10 "Tokyo Drift" Charts A Change of Pace
