    HK cinema takes on manga. Oh dear. Take a cool story about street racers, add brake-burning car stunts, then add a Japanese lead and dub her into Cantonese. This is what you get. It's not totally lame, but it isn't good either. Best to watch it with your brain safely detached fro...( read more)m your body.

    I rented this because Anthony Wong was in it, He plays the leading star's (Jay Chau) drunken washed up racer father, And he does a great job. But the movie is kind of on the basis?s of Fast and Furious, some young High School Teens are racing their cars down mountains, they call ...( read more)it drift racing, don't think they have it here in the Southern US, any Chou is using his Dad's old outdated car to whip the tar out of whoever comes alone. Also contains storylines not seen in most US movies, i.e.: Dad beats son with stick, Teen Girl's Uncle is supporting Girl and her Mom, because her father has died, but old Unc is getting his moneys worth in other ways. All and all its a good movie, Like the fact that Anthony Wong plays his part to the T. I had to listen to Chinese Audio with English subtitles cause the English dubbed voices were so stupid. But if you like the fast and furious type movies, or teen action flix you will like this, and I am sure the young teens will like Jay Chou, sure there is many posters on the walls of young girls bedrooms in the far West. 3 1/2 stars best I can do.

    I'm a big fan of the anime, and when i saw this i really enjoyed it. There were a few problems though. The acting was bad, the story kinda ruined the original anime and it wasn't a really solid film. But, the car scenes were fantastic. I could almost say they were better than som...( read more)e of the scenes in The Fast and the Furious movies. They were filmed so well. I also liked the soundtrack.

    Here's one grand example of a movie that is style over substance. A wasted ensemble cast with an unpolished script. I highly doubt that hollywood will be rushing to remake this silly movie. I hope not anyway.

    but overall it's entertaining..
    to compare, you can watch The fast and the furious: Tokyo Drift....

    Super fun! Especially for those who enjoy cars. Not much of a plot going on though. But not bad overall.
