I am very, VERY late but at last, I finally got to see Gran Turismo - a movie that's been on my radar ever since the trailer and premise came out. I thought it was so interesting g that they decided to base this film on a story that the video game IP inspired; it's certainly a different approach to a 'video game movie.' I am by no means a player of Gran Turismo but I've been hearing good things for 3 WHOLE weeks now... but anyways, here we are now. Enjoy my review of Gran Turismo and hear out why I think it's one of the biggest surprises of the year!
