Reviews

Variety -
Super-slick street-racing pic, based on a Nipponese manga series and set in Japan, is aimed squarely at the East Asian market, which it has conquered in spades since late June release.
|
|
Film Threat -
As a matter of fact, Initial D is an anti-car racing film. It's not about thrills; it's about how to perfect the art of drifting, philosophy, and how to transcend the human condition.
|
|
Village Voice -
Another oil-slick ode to man-on-auto lust, Initial D offers enough full-speed money shots to eke out a victory over its barrage of clichés.

Chicago Reader -
Slick though featherweight adolescent melodrama.
|
|
The New York Times -
A slick but silly affair unlikely to appeal to anyone over the age of 15.
