V.A. Musetto New York Post Jan 3, 2006
1/4
The racing scenes are well done; unfortunately, they're too often interrupted by a clich-filled story about one-note characters. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Jan 3, 2006
2/5
Based on a popular Japanese comic-book series, Initial D is a slick but silly affair unlikely to appeal to anyone over the age of 15. Go to Full Review
R. Emmet Sweeney Village Voice Dec 28, 2005
Alas, the story keeps interrupting with gobs of expectorated exposition, paving the way for the inevitable sequels to come. Go to Full Review

Harry W Nov 12, 2018 A poor attempt to expand on one of the best anime of the 90's, with bland characters, no true plot, corny filler scenes and lack of Eurobeat. A letdown, especially to the reigning king of Tokyo Drift. At least the racing scenes aren't half-bad. See more
Poe W Jul 15, 2017 Sleepy dude learns freakish driving skills by delivering tofu on the other side of the mountain at ungodly hours. Smooth is fast. Had to drop a half star for his old man being the abusive type rather than the hidden lesson type. See more
George M Aug 22, 2007 Nope. Fast & Furious wannabe. With all this talent, and this is the result? Huge failure unless as a cashgrab possibly.
