Drift 7 R

Drift 7 R / ドリフト7-R-

I think this trailer says it all really, if i had seen this before I might not have bothered to watch the whole thing! I did, however, and to be honest felt like a bit of a waste of 73minutes.
Watch it if you enjoy:

• Long, drawn out racing scenes done in a very shakey camera style
• Multiple reused footage of shifting the gear stick back and forth, and pedal footwork, each clip shown about every 30seconds in each race
• Lots of zooming in on the characters eyes, then a quick jump to the the car, then the above mentioned footage then back to characters eyes
• The same overtaking manouver shown from 3 slightly different angles one after another with added "vrooom!" sound effects

Don't watch if you are looking for:

• Deep & meaningful storyline
• Good camera work and SFX
• Exciting car chases

I would say the only good parts about the film are the slight twist in the end;it really does not end how you'd expect, and it's quite a humerous scenario, and that the main protagonist, played by 杉浦太陽 is pretty cute;in my opinion anyway.

More information about the film in English and in Japanese.

N.B it seems to be known as Drift GTR in some places and DRIFT7R in others, in the opening credits of the movie the splash calls it DRIFT7R so I presumed this to be it's official name.

While looking for info on this film I came across another dorifuto movie that I have seen. I saw it while on the plane either to or from Japan, and don't remember much other than it was pretty silly and fun, click on the image for more info!
