Reviews

Variety - Derek Elley
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.
60
Film Threat - Stina Chyn
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.
60
Village Voice - Unnamed
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.
50
Chicago Reader - Unnamed
Slick though featherweight adolescent melodrama.
50
The New York Times - Unnamed
A slick but silly affair unlikely to appeal to anyone over the age of 15.
