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.

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

Whizzily underwhelming...

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.

0.5/4

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.

4/10

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.

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.

It's OK, about as good as the second film. This is a whole different cast. Still a fun car movie though.

Uhh yeah, this wasn’t even that bad. It was just good, nothing special. I think my rating is this high just because of how high the entertainment value was. I enjoyed this one a million times more than 2 Fast 2 Furious. And even though it doesn’t feel anywhere close to connected to the wider Fast and Furious universe, it was still a good time.

Couldn't stand this movie. Listening to the main characters terrible accent was worse than finger nails on a chalk board. The only saving grace was that this movie introduced Han to the franchise. Awesome character.
