“Gran Turismo” lacks originality and seems unfortunately reminiscent of films that came before it, but it is a film that picked itself up in the last half, can keep the audience’s attention and make viewers feel as if they were on the race track themselves. 

While walking along Route 65 out of Maumee and toward Toledo, a pick-up truck operated by a sleeping driver struck me head on. Unlike the unfortunate Peace Marcher in 1986, I can live to tell the tale.
