“Gran Turismo” (**1/2 out of four) was an inspirational true story based on the PlayStation videogame series about determined race-car driver Jann Mardenborough (Archie Madekwe) who teamed up with a failed former driver (David Harbour) and an idealistic motorsport executive (Orlando Bloom) to compete in the world-class title event and shocked the world by becoming underdog champions! Film is reverently done and overall well-told and well-acted but somehow is never as fiery or exciting as it should be. Film also pales somewhat in comparison to 2013’s “Rush” which it sometimes resembles in scope and style. The real Jann Mardenborough is a stunt double here in the film.
