After Disappointing Debut, Video Game Adaptation 'Gran Turismo' Struggles to Find Traction

The Sony Pictures film follows the true story of a gamer turned race car driver through a Nissan competition.
While visually capturing the video game aesthetic, the movie relies on predictable plot points and superficial character motivations.
'Gran Turismo' aims to celebrate gaming culture but sometimes veers into cringeworthy gamer fantasy territory.
Reviews criticize the erratic editing and directing choices that diminish the thrill of the racing sequences.
Despite standout performances, the film largely fails to resonate beyond its niche appeal to gamers and racing fans.
