It's absolutely absurd, but it's time to play pretend in the absolutely wild world of Tokyo drift that doesn't exist in our reality.Īll in all, the plot isn't anything new or groundbreaking the story always boils down to something basic with a side of romance and a happy resolution for our scrappy hero who gets the girl and drives off into the sunset. Oh, but he's a fast learner, which apparently means he immediately picks up both katakana and spoken Japanese magically by halfway through the film. At very least, Sean would be in school on base coming in halfway through the year like that and not speaking a word of Japanese. Okay, Bow Wow, we'll just pretend like two military brats are going to a local Japanese high school.

It's like they didn't care about the story and just wanted to do the most ridiculous car stunts with their embarrassingly large budget. Also, how is he just plopped in the middle of all this? I have so many questions, and this movie provides zero answers. The Rock.Īm I supposed to believe any of these people are in high school, especially Lucas Black? This is a guy who's 24 and looks 30…is playing a 17-year-old in high school? This casting is worse than Riverdale…though I suppose I should just be grateful, he's not inexplicably ripped and contractually obligated to appear shirtless every five minutes. But thankfully, once these insane two hours are behind us, it's back to the civilized world of heists and good ol' Vin vs. And yet, here I am, 7 films deep, still sitting through a cringe display of political incorrectness, alpha-male standoffs, and car races over women in ultra mini schoolgirl skirts.
