A family together with their grandpa go on a vacation, when their new car won't stop and it nearly escapes crashing into a hundred cars.
Full Speed (2016) is a French family comedy road movie with a fairly thin and predictable premise — a runaway car with failed brakes keeping a family in peril. The plot is formulaic and offers little surprise beyond its central gimmick, which itself isn't particularly fresh. Acting is serviceable but unremarkable for a family comedy of this type. Cinematography gets a slight edge as the kinetic car chase sequences provide some visual energy. Novelty is low given the recycled road-movie-in-peril concept with stock family dynamics. The ending resolves predictably with little payoff beyond expected relief.
