Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) always feels like an outsider, but he defines himself through his victories as a street racer. His hobby makes him unpopular with the authorities, so he goes to live with his father in Japan. Once there and even more alienated, he learns about an exciting, but dangerous, new style of the sport. The stakes are high when Sean takes on the local champion and falls for the man's girlfriend.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Eye-popping driving sequences coupled with a limp story and flat performances make this Drift a disappointing follow-up to previous Fast and Furious installments.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) This third outing made me almost nostalgic for the original movie starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Almost. Mar 31, 2019 Full Review The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Whizzily underwhelming... Mar 31, 2019 Full Review The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift | Rotten Tomatoes (3) James Christopher Times (UK) The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift is another dismal chapter in a franchise that started promisingly enough with Rob Cohen's rebel-with-too-much-horse-power-but-lots-of-chicks. Mar 29, 2019 Full Review The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Racing scenes, the only reason people endure this franchise’s bad scripts and worse acting, are filmed unintelligibly fast and enhanced by generic computer effects. Rated: 0.5/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Fully embracing car culture, yet without the over-the-top slang abused in the previous picture, this third chapter wisely dispenses with the undercover cop missions. Rated: 4/10 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Brett Doze InSession Film This entry lacks due to Sean being the least interesting character in the film, but it also finds success by featuring some of the very best racing scenes of the entire franchise.

David W Phobe. It’s just boring, but that Hulk bingo car could be in CT5 vehicles. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Wes C Probably a better FnF, except they always bring back people that are dead in previous movies. I guess their audience don’t care Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Dave B So the main protagonist is not seen again until Fast7--three movies later?? None of the original cast is in this move---except the very end----but what in the world was Dom doing in Tokyo and how in the world did he happen to hear about Lucas? Yet, seeing Dom show up at the end seemed to make more sense than any other part of this movie that strung together car scenes without any logical path. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Lucas t Not as good as the previous 2, but still decent. 6.6/10. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Nougat J Because of this movie my house burned down and my wife was brutally r*ped and my son was molested.👍👍👍 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Quentin K I only rated it high because I like cars a lot, if you don't skip this for sure. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
