""Sean Boswell" (Lucas Black) is a troubled teen with a long record that consist of numerous tickets -- one of which he admits getting the day he got his license. After another arrest following a drag race with a high school football player (Zachery Ty Bryant) over the football player's pretty girlfriend (Nikki Grifin) where "Boswell" wrecks his car, his mother (Lynda Boyd) ships him off to his father (Brian Goodman), a United States Marine who lives in Tokyo, Japan. He is instantly a fish out of water, but instantly bonds with Army Brat "Twinkee" (rapper Bow Wow). He also meets an absolutely beautiful classmate named "Neela" (the beautiful Nathalie Kelley), who is checking him out when he finally arrives to class after getting on the wrong train. Once getting to know "Twinkee", they discover that they have a common interest in souped-up cars.

"Though the third Fast and the Furious installment, Tokyo Drift, wasn’t a huge box office disappointment with its $63 million domestic gross, it was significantly less successful than its predecessors, The Fast and the Furious ($145 million) and 2 Fast 2 Furious ($127 million).

"Considering how bad this movie could have been it actually turns out to be a bit of a throw away good time. Mostly this is a function of three things...1.) a slick new look, Tokyo techno green meets middle American muscle car 2.) terrific racing scenes with "drifting" being the concept du jour, a sideways skidding-emergency brake slamming-spinout 3.) Lucas Black, who I have liked over the years though he isn't the strongest actor, he does possess a perceived authenticity, a realness of character that makes the film feel far more plausible than it deserves to be.Director Justin Lin does a good job, mostly with the visual style and the pulsing soundtrack. The plot is terrible though and the script is dumb with tons of ridiculous moments. You just gotta throw away your common sense here. Either you like it or you don't. This one isn't going to win any Writers Guild awards but it does know how to use its assets to the fullest. "
