BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Scott LeBrun "Go" worked well enough for this viewer due to a quick pace, an engaging cast, a fair amount of chuckles, and a decent amount of entertainment value overall. It might not work for others due to the fact that there's nobody here to really root for. Too many of the characters are senseless or sordid. It also might have worked better if it weren't so obviously influenced by the Quentin Tarantino filmography. But it does an okay job of telling three connected stories, and tying them all together at the end. Director Doug Liman creates flashy visuals in the attempt to make this a hip and stylish affair.Four people get their stories told. Ronna (Sarah Polley) is a supermarket cashier in desperate need of cash to prevent her own eviction. So she gets in over her head trying to make a drug deal. Simon (Desmond Askew) is one of her co-workers who wants to have a wild weekend with his buddies in Las Vegas, and is willing to pay Ronna to work his shift. Finally, we see what happens to gay couple Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) - both of them actors - when they get in trouble with the law and agree to help quirky cop Burke (William Fichtner) with a sting operation.Some of these actors make this more watchable than it may have been otherwise. Fichtner is particularly funny (and for those interested, he bares his backside), Askew is amusing although his character is a dolt, and Timothy Olyphant does well as a drug dealer. Katie Holmes, Nathan Bexton, Taye Diggs, Breckin Meyer, James Duval, Tane McClure, Jimmy Shubert, J.E. Freeman, Jay Paulson, and Jane Krakowski round out this cast. Future star Melissa McCarthy can be seen in a bit.There is some fun to be had as the screenwriter, John August, and Liman, go about their business of assembling all of these separate episodes into a whole. The movie as a whole is nothing special, but it does provide a reasonable diversion for 102 minutes.Seven out of 10.

joecasanovax When I first found out about this film, I was intrigued by the concept and was interested to see how the plot would work. When the end credits started rolling, I felt immensely satisfied with the film.Go is reminiscent of Pulp Fiction with the plot being split into acts shown in the wrong order, but is still very unique and difficult to compare with many other films. The plot is simple and easy to follow, and the screenplay is very well-written with sharp, witty dialogue and a fitting soundtrack. Not a second is wasted with its fast-pace but it consistently remains well-paced at all times.At one point, Go was #229 on the IMDb Top 250. I very much believe it still deserves a place. It's not a masterpiece, however I didn't notice any flaws worth noting. Overall, Go is a very worthwhile film that is a lot better than it seems.

Chris Smith (RockPortReview) Three years after directing the cult hit "Swingers" Doug Liman struck gold again with the hip young ensemble comedy "Go". Uniquely structured over the course of one crazy night in the lives of a bunch of young people in the city of angels.The story follows four main characters Ronna (Sarah Polley), a supermarket cashier, who needs $300 to avoid being evicted from her apartment. Simon (Desmond Askew), Ronna's British co-worker who's is going to Las Vegas for the weekend with a few friends. Then there are Adam and Zack (Scott Wolf and Jay Mohr) a couple of gay soap opera actors who are cutting a deal with the police to help then arrest Simon who is friends with Tod (Timothy Olyphant) a local drug dealer.The movie has a very 90s feel to it when watched today. Pagers were still big with teenagers. Raves were still cool and mysterious. This movies is like a time capsule of a time that really doesn't seem too long ago. Remember the good ole days of 1999, at the height of Y2K paranoia, and people still doing the Macarena what a time to be alive. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic if it isn't obvious). Okay so needing money in a hurry Ronna takes Simon's shift so he can go to Vegas. When Adam and Zack look to score some ecstasy from her in a sting operation she agrees. She goes to Tod to buy the stuff hoping to turn a profit when she resells it, not knowing that Adam and Zack are narcs. Although Tod needs some assurance that Ronna will pay him back, so she leaves her friend Claire (Katie Holmes) as collateral. Needless to say the deal goes bad and Ronna is now totally screwed.Then the movie sort of starts over again but this time from Simon's point of view and his wild adventures in Vegas. Simon and friends get into some pretty crazy sh** and end up on the run from some low level strip club mobsters when Simon shots one of them in the arm. This story will cross path with Tod and Claire near the end.Lastly we've go to the point of view of Adam and Zack and their relationship with officer Burke (William Fichtner) who is overseeing their plea bargain to get and arrest that will lead him to Tod. They will also run into Ronna again at a very inopportune time. Everything in each story in connected in one way or another and makes it joy to watch. The characters are interesting, quirky, and funny, and the story is tightly packed with out a second to spare. It's a pretty fun experience even if it is a little dated. So if your feeling a little nostalgic for the 90s I suggest you "Go".

davidsawyer-me I have no clue why horrible 90s movies get such high ratings. It was the worst decade from movies ever. Actually this film was from 1999 but it looked more like it was filmed in 1991. It was sort of like the 90s trying desperately to cling onto it's worn out style. Anyway the plot acting characters script was all simply terrible cheesy and didn't even have camp value. No wonder our local CW station plays it for week end filler. Usually on Saturdays they will play old movies that are terrible. I guess they realize that moves people are out doing stuff. But once in a while I have the misfortune of being stuck home on a Saturday afternoon and having to watch such dreadful garbage. Not all movies from the 90s were bad but most of them seemed like they were overly focused on the grunge style as a total and utter crutch to support it. With a total lack of real script, premise, and plot these horrible films were just cranked out of Hollywood one after the other. It was like a decade in which they weren't even trying at all. Even a lot of cheesy stuff from the 80s seemed like Hollywood was actually still trying back then, but by the 1990s it's like Hollywood gave up. Id have to say though that after 2000 movies started getting better and better. But back in the 90s most of it was nothing but trash. And even if 'trash' was the point it wasn't even good trash. ha ha I think this movie was out of place too for 1999 because by then styles were starting to change and yet this movie has a total 1991 feel to it. So not only was it typical 90s garbage but it was out of style even for it's time.
