The acting is OK - far from turgid, which I expected it to be in the first place. This is shown by one piece of dialogue where some guy asks Sean: "You know what DK stands for?" and Sean replies "Donkey Kong". The dialogue, as I stated, can be funny - because of its stupidity.
I will admit that no-one looks for a good plot in a Fast and the Furious movie, but still, the less said, the better. To go on, except to state that Sean ends up making friends with a guy named Han, is pointless. Sounds stupid? Well, it is, the casual viewer can detect a plothole or two from even reading those two lines. Sean, a 'dude' who loves to race at high speeds for no apparent reason, is sent to Tokyo to live with his military dad and ends up being drawn to the racing circuit again, witnessing a new style of race called 'drift' (as seen in Need For Speed Underground, to those that don't know). Maybe my view of The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift is heightened by the fact that I cracked a few jokes during the movie. I kept my eyes on the movie the whole time, mainly because of the souped cars, but the fact that I went through the movie without flinching (a lot, except at some of the bad dialogue that was prevalent), says quite a lot. These misgivings, or at least the worst ones, such as the movie being unbearable to even look at, were fortunately unfounded. So when I went to see it with some friends, I had obvious misgivings. Of course, I expected it to be a pile of steaming garbage, particularly with the formula of increasingly dodgy sequels. I was quite surprised by The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift.
