Why they cast the guy they did as the main person? That’s lame as fuck they picked some bi-racial guy. SMH

I think he got names mixed up because the pic I posted is of Jann Mardenborough (the racer who the movie is based on)

The price of a brick goin up…
So this is more about the guy who played the game and then made a career racing
I looked at his record so I may have just spoiled the movie for myself lol
I didn’t get the names mixed up. He looked darker in the pic in Wikipedia but meh. Still don’t seem like something I’d base a feature film around.
I won’t fault the movie being made
A Tetris movie just came out that
Difference is, that didn’t come out in theaters

GRAND GRAN !!
PRAISE : I remember being obsessed with 3 car racing video games back in the day. Pole Position, Out Run and Hard Drivin and they took a lot of my hard earned quarters. So I could definitely relate to Jann's (Archie Madekwe) obsession with Gran Turismo in the movie who may have a chance to actually be a part of professional racing . I last saw Madekwe in Midsommar and he is excellent in this turning in a laser focused performance.
Also turning in an extremely believable performance is Djimon Hounsou as his concerned but loving father Steve. They both display a lot of raw emotion in some great scenes together.
Equally excellent is David Harbour as Jack Salter a veteran race car driver and mentor to Jann.
There is a great father,son and mentor dynamic throughout the movie which when is coupled with some very impressive SFX and camera work made this a very involving experience. I liked the game in the minds eye moments in the movie.
I thought they were going to go down an oily path with one character but fortunately they didn't.
PROBLEMS: I know people are going to complain about the tons of product placement in this movie but it didn't bother me.....well not much.
I wish a handful of characters had been developed more so when certain things played out it would have been far more effective. There was some head to head predictableness.
Not a bad movie to end the Summer with.
Scale of 1 to 10 an 8½
