    Beautiful story of one who says they love and holds a friend true, but does not. One who says they cannot love but is devoted and does love. One who loves too quickly and will kill for a friend. All the male leads are beautiful in their own right. I really enjoyed this movie

    Not sure why this is classified as a gay movie. It isn't. Dont bother wasting your time. 'Full Speed' is laborious, confusing and makes no sense.

Feels more like a sketch for a movie than a completely formed narrative, with characters and situations that are too thin to bear the weight of the tale's ultimate tragic turns. Full Review
