JaJ on Tokyo Drift!

So finally JaJ gets in Old shoes again..I saw the first movie in Japan..I hope I will continue it ..The Fast and Furious..Tokyo Drifting by Lin, 33, USA.

This is the film by a Youngster for Youngsters..its about Speed and Craze. Wherever is youth, there is Craze..and specially when it is backed by Money it gets magnified to unimaginable. DK the Drifting King on Tokyo Streets has been enjoying the Mafia empire “Yakuza” run by his Uncle Kamata (Sonny Chiba)..Owns many Dance clubs, Drug Picking networks and Beauty Queen, girlfriend Neela. All of sudden Sean got to make his way to Schools on Tokyo streets..because of Devastation he made on construction site in America, during a Illegal Race..This Race has been the opening Scene of the movie..prompting what is waiting for you ahead.

Its worth watching Sean getting in class for first time..he don’t understand Japanese..and he is going to learn in Japanese..but Neela (Nathalie Kelley) seating on first bench..with flirting eyes..makes him comfortable by a Smile (believe me her smile is killing. Kelley is going to replace Sushmita Sen from my Desktop).

On first day itself, this Gaijin (Foreigner), gets the rhythm as he gets Introduced to Mafia Empire by a friend Twinkie..DK gets him competing to him..but this is Drifting..furious combination of Accelrating and Braking..it calls the SKILL and GUTS..Sean don’t have the skills but got the GUTS..takes the challenge and ends up with wrecked Car, which was loaned to him by Mafia`s partner Han.

Sean got to repay for devastation, so lands up in Mafia chain in Japan. Han helps him in getting Drifting Skills, and nourishing Racing Craze..Hillside Drifting Stunts were just too Furious. Everything happening in Erotic and Bubbling Night Life in Japan and Busy streets of Tokyo..making the film too realistic to me in Japan.

Sean keeps learning and Flirting with Neela, which gets him in Hit list for DK. DK chases to Sean and Han for killings..this Death Chase is Unbelivable…taking the movie to the apex. OHH my god..it was mind blowing example of Cinematography and Great Stuntman ship.

So come the end..with the Toppings..another race for getting Neela…Sean cant loose it, but DK wont let him win..another race…more cruel..more furious..SO COMES MY VERDICT…MSO->MUST SEE ONCE..its such a height is achieved in this part of film..
I need not tell who wins?? And that gets curtains down.

Lucas Black featuring as Sean, who have been starrer in X files, Deepwater..exhibits perfect Mighty American in Sean Boswell..Expression, timings and Body Language is just too good..as if Racing and drifting is in his blood..such a Natural performance it was.

Nathalie Kelley as Neela was catching eyes, whenever she was on screen. Neela narrated a Schoolgirl..her Smile was as killing as her Drifting skills…It seems to be first film of this Peru girl who used to be Salsa dancers in early days…Thanks to Director Lin for introducing a fresh face.

Brian Tee who plays Villain here..was perfect for his role…Director makes image of DK(Drifting King) darker by adding strong background Music, and short skirted girls around, whenever he is on silver screen. Well Done Tee.

The most admirable part of the film is Background Music..this is movie of Youngsters.. background tracks keeps them with the tempo of movie..and makes Drifting Scenes a fabulous experience. A perfect 10 for Brain Tylor.

Script is good. Perfectly captured from School days…Han says, “Once you make choices, you never look back”. Nice to see Sean fumbling to say “Okaaneee” (which means Money in Japanese).

Cinematography is Just Amazing..it has been always Strong side for Hollywood silver screens, as compared to Bollywood.

Director is successful in keeping the pace of the movie…It has tag line “Fast and Furious”..and believe me he is almost successful in maintaining that..Salute to his Observant eyes which has captured the Japanese Life Style to minute details.
I repeat the verdict
Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift…MSO..Must See Once!
