The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is an uninspired, unoriginal entry in what was already an unoriginal franchise. It's fun to look at, but its narcissistic message is unappealing in the extreme.
Considered the red headed stepchild of the 'Fast and Furious' franchise, but beyond the obvious missteps, it's a very fun outing that truly doesn't deserve its bad rap.
The whole thing is preposterous. The acting is so awful, some of the worst performances I've seen in a long, long time.
