Szybcy i wściekli: Tokio Drift

It's hard to be mad at a movie that's about racing flashy cars driven by the golden youth (unsympathetic dickhead included). The sports cars are shiny, the girls in miniskirts are hot, and everything is so endlessly demented that it's hard not to fall for it. There’s no doubt that someone here likes "Need for Speed." Prodigy - "You'll be Under My Wheels" is in my tracklist. For such superficial kitsch, the director should be either castrated or blessed. (05.09.2009)

Both stars go to the two action scenes, the urban chase and the final race, which make it worth watching the extremely unappealing lead and his dull story about nothing. Justin Lin is a good director, but unless he has a script that's worth something and good actors (see Star Trek Beyond), there’s only so much he can do. Vin Diesel, in a ten-second or so role, showed that he doesn't necessarily have to be an Oscar-winning actor to be more interesting than all the Tokyo Drift characters combined without so much as blinking – all he needs is his charisma.

Underrated ride without major obstacles and boring parts, where not even a predictable story and not-so-amazing actors bother at all. The screenplay takes some details from the original, including a surprising cameo by you-know-who, and even though it logically can't reach it, I will gladly slightly raise the embarrassingly low rating with a drifting detour.

We have the third installment here, with "Fast and Furious" returning in better quality. Additionally, Paul Walker is missing in this one, which cleverly earned him bonus points. That's why I really like him. Not so much for returning in the fourth installment. If I had to compare the movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" to another film, it would definitely be "Karate Kid". The story is set in a very similar way. Troubled boy (youth) Sean goes to Japan to make things right. But he gets involved with cars. In the first race, he shows that he simply can't compete with the local fighters and that he will have to settle for the role of an outsider, at least when it comes to racing. But then his mentor comes along, who is not as far apart in age as Mr. Miyagi was to a little Daniel. This mentor has money and cars in which he lets Sean drive. At first, just to destroy them, later with the intention that he will actually learn something. The film clearly leads to a big finale, which is a karate tournament. Actually, no, I got a little carried away. The film leads to a final confrontation, in which Sean must of course win. It's a simple plot that differs from the previous two "Fast and Furious" films. But in its simplicity lies its strength, and the series got a new boost. Although it returns to the beaten path in the next installment, Justin Lin has shown that the series suits him. Mainly because he excels in action, and the races in his interpretation are simply excellent. Definitely a difference compared to the exhausted second installment. If you give it a chance, you'll also tolerate the fourth film to wait for the best fifth. Or should I say the best so far?

Is this supposed to be a joke? I don’t even know what was worse, the story or a Lucas Black’s dumb smile. The screenplay must have been thrown together by some idiot whose idea of fun was to totally destroy the entire series. For God’s sake, even Vin Diesel’s cameo (It’s hell with dubbing) was a letdown. The action scenes aren’t bad, but having to witness a drifting Mustang is the height of a bad taste. (15.10.2011)
