Better Luck Tomorrow director Justin Lin picks up where John Singleton left off to offer a high-octane look at the world of underground Japanese drift-racing in the latest installment of the super-charged Fast and the Furious film series. A frustrated teen from a broken home, Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) is an outsider looking to make a name for himself on the illegal street racing circuit. When Sean is busted by the police for his high-speed exploits and given the option of either spending time behind bars or moving overseas to live with his no-nonsense, military man father who's currently stationed in Tokyo, the young rebel packs his bags and sets his sights on Nippon. Though at first reluctant to adapt to the unfamiliar customs and foreign code of honor of his new home, Sean soon strikes up a friendship with American speed freak Twinkie (Bow Wow), a like-minded race fan who schools the inexperienced newcomer in the pulse-pounding world of drift-racing. Inadvertently challenging local champion and yakuza associate D.K. (The Drift King) his first time on the road, Sean is subsequently forced to work under expatriate Han (Sung Kang) to pay off his debt after failing to cross the finish line first. Taking note of the young American's affinity for racing as he warmly welcomes him into his merry band of misfit drift-fanatics, Han slowly introduces Sean to the key principles of the popular new racing style. When Sean makes the potentially deadly mistake of falling for D.K.'s girlfriend Neela (Nathalie Kelley), he'll need all the help he can get to face his most challenging race to date and take on the most notorious driver on the Tokyo drift scene in a hair-raising, hairpin-turn race where the winner truly takes all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I kind of liked the first one and hated the second and w/ that did not expect much from this...but...this was a great movie. Luved the racing in it (big drift racing fan, thought I thought the movie would not get it right), good story (though you knew what to expect) and the acting was not bad. Luved Nathalie Kelley in this, she was hott. Now...you know you luved the movie if you going around telling your friends to watch it. This was a good one. Liked the Vin Diesl cameo in the end.

    i didn't like this one so much. perhaps it was b/c our staple actors, Paul Walker & Vin Diesel, made no appearance in the film. I wasn't impressed at all w/Lucas Black as the lead character. he was actually kind of boring. the whole story line was thin. Perhaps they got 'stock car' mixed up with 'stock script.' having said that, the technique of drifting was actually pretty cool. Overall, just a so-so movie.
