Gran Turismo isn't a typical racing film. It's based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough, a teenager with exceptional virtual racing skills discovered through Gran Turismo video games. 

He gets whisked away by a prestigious motorsport exec who sees his potential. Together, they form an unlikely team, challenging the elite world of professional racing.

While critics praised the film's heart-warming underdog story and impressive racing sequences, some found the plot predictable and the characters archetypal. 

However, many agreed that the film's visual spectacle and realistic racing portrayal kept the audience engaged. The movie was not a major box office hit, but it found its niche among racing fans and video game enthusiasts, resonating with its message of defying limitations and believing in dreams.

The Quentin Tarantino slasher film was initially released in theatres as part of Grindhouse, a double feature that combined Death Proof with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror.

As Grindhouse did not perform as expected later the changes were made. Kurt Russell elevated the movie's performance to the next level as well.

The movie happens in two sequences with very contrasting events of what is done and what is being done to them.

The brutal murders, including the really good cars and the chases involved, make this a brutally engaging movie to watch.

2011 was an iconic year for Audi as the rivalry between Audi and Peugeot was brewing and that the same year was chosen for documenting the  24 Hours of Le Mans was also an interesting watch.

The documentary film is nothing like the usual documentaries and by the end of it you all will end up connecting to it from the heart.

It’s an epic story that looks so unreal making it all the while a worthy watch.

"Duel" (1971) is one of Steven Spielberg’s early films, and it quickly captured audience attention thanks to its intense storytelling and direction, rather than Spielberg’s future fame.

The film exists in two versions: an original made-for-TV cut and a slightly extended version released theatrically in Europe, both of which showcase the suspenseful cat-and-mouse chase that defines the movie.

The story follows a businessman driving through remote Western highways when he becomes the target of a menacing, relentless truck driver. What starts as a simple journey turns into a harrowing fight for survival.

With each terrifying encounter, the protagonist is pushed to his limits, forced to outwit a faceless and nearly unstoppable adversary. If you enjoy high-stakes thrillers, "Duel" is a gripping masterpiece you won’t want to miss.

The first Borning movie did give a fair indication of a second movie in the sequence.

Our hero Roy is just released from prison following the events of the first movie.

As he tries to set a good example for his daughter and decides on no more street racing, he realizes that his daughter and her boyfriend are about to land themselves in big trouble, and by all means, he has to stop them.

Once again, the beautiful visuals of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Murmansk become a real treat to watch.

The fifth and final installment in the taxi series didn’t receive the kind of acceptance from the previous ones.

Sami Nacery and Frederic Diefenthal were not in the cast which disappointed many but Frank Gastambide, Malik Bentalha, and the rest of the cast didn’t disappoint either.

Sylvain Maro, a highly ambitious policeman ends up in the Marseille division. He is informed of a gang of Italians who uses powerful Ferraris to commit crimes.

And now he has to stop the robbery of a diamond "Cassiopeia". And for that, the taxi needs some modifications and some extraordinary stunt skills.
