Fast n Furious - Tokyo Drift

To u all speed lovers, its a must-watch movie!
I didnt watch the Fast n Furious 1st, n also 2nd. I saw d 1st on TV few weeks ago, never made it to see d 2nd. But was so attracted to d 1st (was thinking, damn..what d hell was i thinking few years back when i decided not to watch d film just becoz im not a fan of Vin Diesel, other than his good looking…?)
back to the point…coz after seeing d 1st one, then i saw d 3rd one’s trailer when i was in cinema about to watch other film, i was interested. Made appointment wit a friend, last saturday when it was released a few days, we went to see it.
D story itself was not really special (well, i admit that d story was not even major point of interest dat i wanted to see). But d cars…well well well…i gotta say though im a big fan of fancy cars, high speed car, luxurious cars, im blind about types of cars…in d film i could only manage to recognize 1 car, the orange 2 doors Ferrari (Ferrari has always been my fave…). Another one was also very beautiful, dont know its type, its black, used by the character Takashi a.k.a DK (Drift King). Its dark (black, or deep blue? or even dark grey…not sure), its slim, its stylish shape, its fast!! It reminds me a lot of Bat Mobile…
As usual, racing n speed is always d theme of Fast n Furious (duh…d title?). This time, its about a college boy who got sent to Tokyo coz of some racing end bad. Where he found that, Tokyo has d thing he craves for, the underground racing. With faster, sexier cars, crazier laps, dangerous bets. Soon, he faced that this is not d usual playground he had been in the States. Learned to race in a different style, he soon caught the "feel" of this new racing type. But, as usual, things dont run smoothly. Problems happened. But eventually, all solved by, so cliche, a race. The end.
Like i said, the story itself is not so special. Not to mention, d main character (damn…i forgot d name…) seems a bit too old for a not even 18 year old college badboy…though he’s cute…But, the racing scenes, the tyre screeches, the cars bumping and crashing, n of course, Tokyo fashion styles, all together mix this a not bad to watch. I bet all d youngsters n teenagers love this film (as i witnessed, most of the ppl when i watched this, were teenagers or college youngsters). Plus d cool n ear-catching soundtracks (featuring mostly from clubbing songs, hip hop, n Japanese hip hop / rock / disco songs). I gotta say, all d songs are very interesting n very ear-catching. Would like to have the MP3s if available…
Overall, this is a cool movie to see…Guaranteed u wont be disappointed, for 2 hours u’ll be entertained with colorful cool sexy cars, sexy Japanese young girls with their coolest fashion styles (ur not gonna see styles like those in Jakarta pulled off successfully), and some cool view of night time Tokyo.
Aren’t those enuf, u all speed racing lover people?
Go n buy ur tickets, right now!
Oh, and one more thing, get ready for a very cool surprise, at the end of d movie…Just stay til the last scene, or u’ll be biting ur fingers coz ur gonna miss d surprising ending…
Brrrmmmm….
