Boswell is supposed to be a teenager who gets sent away to live with his father in Tokyo after getting into trouble one too many times back home in Arizona. This installment takes the series abroad, as we watch Sean Boswell played by Lucas Black, get brought back into the dangerous game of street racing and become acquainted with the technique of drifting. In fact, Tokyo Drift is the second worst of the series, just in front of its predecessor, 2 Fast 2 Furious. I had never sat through the entire runtime until now, and just as I thought, it's definitely not one of the better ones. It's been well documented how the F&F franchise was pretty much garbage before The Rock came on to the series, and Tokyo Drift is more of the same. It goes all in on the drift stunts, it's in the damn name. I will never not refer to sliding down a ramp as Tokyo Drifting simply because of this movie.

That's not to be dismissive of the movie, it's a fun time, it's just a movie of a very specific type and you see it really for one reason only: the stunts. In other movies it's karate or street fighting, in this movie it's cars. Most of the characters are teens, or at least young people of vaguely teenage range, and it's all the reckless partying, sexuality, high school drama, caught up with the wrong crowd but maybe things will turn around crap that you see in teen movies of this type. It's best to think of it kind of like Fast & Furious does a teen movie. But as an entry that exists on its own, it's not bad. Besides Han who would become a fan favorite, plus that cameo at the end, it sort of exists on its own. Surprisingly this was the first of the Fast movies I saw way back when, which isn't the worst introduction as it's not a bad entry and mostly separate from the rest of the franchise.
