Blomkamp might have directed the best 90-minute sports movie of the decade ? it's just a shame that Gran Turismo is nearly two and a half hours.
Read - 7.0 VarietyOwen Gleiberman
There's an innocence to this one, and a surprise authenticity. It's like a "Fast and Furious" movie made without cynicism, and it gets to you.
Read - 4.0 EmpireJohn Nugent
Despite some warm performances, it's very hard to ignore the feeling that this is largely just two hours of product placement.
