Gran Turismo Review

Reviewed by A.A. Dowd. Narrated by Max Scoville.

District 9 director Neill Blomkamp brings an appealing speed and cornball enthusiasm to his first video game adaptation, based on both the popular PlayStation racing series and the true story of a fan who traded the virtual steering wheel for a real one. The film is pure sports-movie hokum, done with just enough conviction (much of it courtesy of David Harbour, who’s typically excellent in the stock role of a racing veteran-turned-mentor) to help you ignore how relentlessly Gran Turismo advertises the games themselves.
