Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) always feels like an outsider, but he defines himself through his victories as a street racer. His hobby makes him unpopular with the authorities, so he goes to live with his father in Japan. Once there and even more alienated, he learns about an exciting, but dangerous, new style of the sport. The stakes are high when Sean takes on the local champion and falls for the man's girlfriend.

Critics Consensus

Eye-popping driving sequences coupled with a limp story and flat performances make this Drift a disappointing follow-up to previous Fast and Furious installments.

Independent (UK)

This third outing made me almost nostalgic for the original movie starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Almost.

Whizzily underwhelming...

Times (UK)

The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift is another dismal chapter in a franchise that started promisingly enough with Rob Cohen's rebel-with-too-much-horse-power-but-lots-of-chicks.

Deep Focus Review

Racing scenes, the only reason people endure this franchise’s bad scripts and worse acting, are filmed unintelligibly fast and enhanced by generic computer effects.

Rated: 0.5/4

Gone With The Twins

Fully embracing car culture, yet without the over-the-top slang abused in the previous picture, this third chapter wisely dispenses with the undercover cop missions.

Rated: 4/10

This entry lacks due to Sean being the least interesting character in the film, but it also finds success by featuring some of the very best racing scenes of the entire franchise.

My favorite in the F&F franchise, Tokyo Drift. The music, the cars, Han (what a huge mistake it was to kill him in this movie), Neela and just the overall vibe of Tokyo. Is it silly? Absolutely. Is it fun? 100%

Tokyo Drift is a really cool movie. Cars used to be cool, remember? From the late 90s until around 2007, there was that era, where neon lights, custom paint jobs, rear wings and wide body kits were cool. And Tokyo Drift was the movie to mark the end of that era. Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift (2006) will make you want to buy a 350z, RX-7 or an EVO9 Fast and Furious X (2023) will make you stop watching in the middle of the movie. (true story, it happened to me, i just closed the window in the middle of the movie, it was unbearable)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
