Manage episode 387445308 series 3360131
Ben & Rob complete their lap of every Neil Blomkamp movie ever with his 2023 film 'Gran Turismo', starring Archie Madekwe, David Harbour, Orlando Bloom and Djimon Hounsou. When veteran Playstation gamer Jann Mardenborough wins the chance of a lifetime to compete in professional races, will his lack of real-world experience be an obstacle to him winning the race, the girl, and the love of two fathers? Or did Sony hope that by bringing together Legolas and the Hellboy no-one wanted they might shift some Playstations?
But most importantly of all, has Neil Blomkamp's got any bankable reputation left after the hellishly awful ordeal of Demonic was unleashed on audiences? Perhaps Gran Turismo is the final nail in the coffin of a once promising director who gave us the sci-fi perfection of District Nine. Or maybe, just maybe, its the roaring comeback we know this director deserves. CONSUUUME to find out all of this and much, much more!
