Distributed by Warner Bros. Malaysia, ‘Alive Drift’ is the latest racing action flick to hit local theatres starting this month. Fortunately, CariCarz.com were treated with passes to attend its special preview screening last night (Aug 9) at TGV Sunway Pyramid thanks to Recaro Automotive Malaysia (FB: Recaro Malaysia Official).


Here’s our spoiler-free initial impressions of this high-octane feature film that’s poised to thrill all audiences, and not just car enthusiasts.

Directed by Ten Shimoyama, Alive Drift sees Shuhei Nomura, Ai Yoshikawa, Sho Aoyagi, and Shodai Fukuyama forming its cast bill. It tells the compelling story of e-sport champion Koichi Oba (played by Nomura) making a shift to real-world drift racing after being recruited by a struggling drift racing team in dire need of race wins.


Throughout its two-hour runtime, there was indeed much to marvel at with Alive Drift, especially with its presentation of the drifting sport’s real-world racing cars, its personalities, and its legendary locales. This is the telling result of the production’s inclusion of world renowned drift racing legend Keiichi Tsuchiya as the film’s ‘technical advisor’.


What kept us on the edge of our seats was the brilliantly refreshing way Alive Drift presented all its racing action using real-world practical effects and not CGI – a very refreshing and seriously rare feat amongst car and racing movies as such.


Overall, the CariCarz.com team have collectively agreed to score Alive Drift with a solid rating of 8.0/10. This is one car racing flick that will thrill all audiences not just for its high-octane drift racing action, but also through its compelling zero-to-hero story arc that sees a light dash of humour infused to it too.

Keen to catch Alive Drift for yourselves? Well, worry not as this Japanese-language automotive cinematic treat races itself onto silver screens nationwide starting this month from Aug 11.
