Based on a true story about a PlayStation gamer who went on to become an actual race car driver, "Gran Turismo" will satisfy gamers and race car fans alike. Admittedly, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano do not fit into either demographic category. in this podcast episode, they acknowledge what will appeal to the fan base while also noting that the film is too long and, ironically, does not have a fast enough pace. Marie and Mike also discuss "The Equalizer 3," which stars Denzel Washington and equally striking Italian scenery. That may not be enough, alas, to overcome a vigilante-oriented story that predictably and violently lets you know the bad guys don't stand a chance.
