Fleeing troubles at home, a sensitive American rebel finds himself caught up in the exciting world of underground drift racing in Tokyo. The third in the wildly popular FAST IN THE...
more...FURIOUS series--a hybrid of fast cars, hot teens, and fetishized technology--gets a new jolt of energy and style courtesy of young hotshot director Justin Lin, who won raves at Sundance in 2002 for his look at Asian-American teens in BETTER LUCK TOMORROW. Leading man in training Lucas Black stars as sensitive rebel Sean Boswell, who, despite hailing from the poor section of town, vamps up his used car to drag race against the best of them. After numerous racing challenges won--including one against his high school's popular, wealthy quarterback--Boswell gets in trouble with the law one too many times. To escape confinement to a juvenile detention center, Boswell's military father ships him all the way across the world, to that most futuristic, tech-savvy of cities, Tokyo. There, he meets his match in the powerful, cruel D.K. (Brian Tee), who is not only the car racing star of the Japanese underground, but also related to several dangerous Yakuzas (gangsters). Complicating matters is Sean's undeniable (and mutual) attraction to D.K.'s gorgeous girlfriend Neela (Nathalie Kelly). The racing style, he soon learns, is very different in this strange land--a practice known as "drifting" that is more elegant and virtuostic than American-style demolition. Yet if anyone can take on D.K. and his band of Yakuza yeomen, it's this racecar rebel. All the pieces of the action movie puzzle, including sexy stars, nonstop action, and heart-stopping thrills, combine with a stylish aesthetic and energetic soundtrack to make another fine addition to a fantastic franchise and director Lin is adept at rendering Tokyo a full-dimensional, culturally rich location, rather than a video game backdrop.

This is the third instalment of ‘The Fast & The Furious’ films. If you liked the other two, you’ll love this. If you like drifting, you’ll love this too. It is definitely faster paced than the other two!

It starts with a boy (Sean Boswell) who is always getting into trouble and his Mum has to keep moving towns with him but this time she decides he’s gone too far and has to move to Tokyo to live with his Dad. Bad move…Tokyo is the centre of the underground racing team owned by a group of Japanese people (that don’t happen to take a liking to Sean) that want to kill him. So that he can stay alive and not move town again he has to out drift the master. When he arrives he has no drifting experience and is frankly quite tragic at it but he gradually learns with the help of his friends and becomes a pro, eventually at the end of the film the master and Sean have to drift down a mountain it looks like (it has roads but is quite narrow). To stay in town Sean has to win this race and surprise surprise he does! He wins! He gets to stay in town and get the girl, which is a good conclusion o the film.

I thought this film was amazing, the skill it takes to drift is astonishing and it was acted so well, I was never bored, in fact I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. I would definitely recommend it.

You can get it in most places that sell DVD’s etc (E.g., WHSmith, Woolworths)

The price will vary because in some places it has been brought down due to the fact it was released on the 30th October 2006.
