Gran Turismo

Based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough, Gran Turismo tells the story of how Jann went from a gamer in parents basement to earning a contract with Nissan to be a racecar driver and ended up coming in third at the Le Mans. Now in theory that sounds like a great underdog movie since it hits all of the points well. And I'm sure it probably did in real life, but man did they mess up the execution of this movie. The beginning of this movie and the plot setup is absolute garbage and honestly almost made me stop watching. The acting is terrible on almost all the characters either being boring or bad but especially on Orlando Bloom's character who was the business guy which I was surprised by. Really the only good performance in this movie and the only character I cared about was Jann’s mentor. He was the most interesting out of all of them and honestly, he would have made a better main character with how they did his character better than the execution of Janns. Ultimately in the end, this movie has a good premise but bad execution and bad acting really brought it down.
