Movie review - "Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" (2006) *** (re-watching)

 Poor Lucas Black. Had the lead in this and has kind of been forgotten by the franchise. He's not bad. Could've fixed his teeth.

It's very well directed. Looks fantastic - Tokyo locations, shops, bright colours. These films are actually quite coy about sex for all the butts on display.

The script can't quite get the crime element right - I was confused by what Han was doing. But the relationship with Han is great - Sung Kang is good. Brian Tee and leonardo Lam are great villains and Nathalie Kelly was sweet.

Love the Vin Diesel cameo at the end... it shows though that he had the charisma which Black doesn't have (or to be fair Paul Walker).
