The racing scenes are well done; unfortunately, they're too often interrupted by a cliche-filled story about one-note characters.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
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.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
Alas, the story keeps interrupting with gobs of expectorated exposition, paving the way for the inevitable sequels to come.

For a different ride, Initial D drives a sleek and smooth line.
