Movie review (jdmasia):
To start, the movie is unashamedly a tribute of sorts to FATF: Tokyo Drift, and it’s not just my opinion, even the director of the movie has been quoted as saying that himself. It was a wholly-locally produced event with a budget of RM2,000,000 (about $630,000 USD), which is quite high-end for a local production.
I’ve got to say, as far as a lot of the driving scenes are concerned, I do respect them for what they did in this movie simply because there was not one bit of CG trickery like a lot of the scenes in Tokyo Drift. Although I doubt they’ll win any stunt-driving awards, they definitely deserve credit for that. Two scenes in the movie were a blatant ripoff of the scene in Tokyo Drift where Han circles the R33 with the two females inside, so it was a bit disappointing when it comes to originality. <jdmasia>
Synopsis:
The movie tells the story of Zack and Sham, close friends who share a passion for drift racing. Though the sport is popular with men, Zack’s girlfriend (played by Fasha Sandha) took up the sport and became competitive in it. Zack is an elite racer who runs a workshop while Sham is more down to earth and always has problems with his racing car. Zack is unhappy with drug pushers selling on his racing patch, but Fasha (who is a former user) is friendly with some of them which leads to a confrontation between her and Zack. The pushers are sent to their boss Joe (played by Aaron Aziz) ,also a drift racer who uses race meets to sell his product.
A rift continues to grow between Zack and Fasha. Sham (played by Farid Kamil) becomes a middleman between the two but ends up also having feelings for her. Zack wins a challenge against Joe but falls out with Sham despite the latter’s numerous apologies and attempts to distance himself from Fasha. Zack and Fasha also confront each other but solve nothing, with Fasha conflicted over her dwindling feelings for Zack and her growing attraction to Sham. <Wiki>
