This movie is seriously different from the previous ones. Tokyo Drift takes place outside the U.S. and brings a complete new cast. Since it’s not to be considered a sequel (except from a small cameo role) this movie could have been named totally different. As usual, the cars are slick, look way cool and obviously the “booth babes” that come with them are sexy. Unlike it’s predecessors, this movie has little substance; there is no plot! I mean it’s so slim compared to what we could experience before. The themes of treason, love and honor are barely touched. The movie is really light and is not to be taken seriously. I did notice that they did not use a lot of CG elements and there was not as much focus on the cars themselves. I felt alienated by the soundtrack; where is the theme song?! I guess the first movie had such and impact on me."

However, this review is about the movie “Firewall” in which, a security specialist (starring Harrison Ford) is forced into robbing the bank that he is protecting, as a bid to pay off his family's ransom. Now I clearly remember being interested by the initial trailer but was quickly reminded that there are tons of movies of this genre out there in which families are held hostage in exchange for some kind of ransom. So I kind of dismissed it as another pseudo-thriller that follows the typical script."

They’re not the best quality, the plots are very predictable--- oh wait, the plots! --- They are extremely predictable; as a matter of fact I have a bone to pick with the men who are writing these plots. Yes I said men, how could they not be men? All you have to do is take a day off and watch "Le Cap A La Une or La Peur D'aimais, or La Femme De Mon Ami Est Mon Ami, Pour Lamour De Susie or Infidelite". Should I go on? Actually I couldn't, my interest was abruptly cut off after watching these movies. I am no feminist but anyone with common sense would see the backwardness of societal relationships between men and women in Haitian culture just by watching these movies. You would notice that the movie is always revolved around a man. This man always happens to have everything, money, cars etc... He is committed to someone whether it's a fiancée or a serious girlfriend or his wife. The guy is persuaded by his friends to go on a vacation or whatever can take him away from the person he is involved with at the time. While he is away he finds another woman and of course "falls in love" with her. The internal conflict of deciding what the right thing to do serves as a climax for us the audience. Of course the wife, girlfriend or fiancée finds out and of course is portrayed as a witch when she confronts the mistress or whatever you want to call the "other" woman. He chooses the other woman and they live happily ever after, blah, blah, blah. "
