SummarySet over a 24-hour period in L.A. and Las Vegas, this unconventionally structured comedy is told from the decidedly off-center perspectives of three parties involved in the outrageous events that surround a botched drug deal. (Columbia TriStar)

Offers breathtaking comic-action fantasy….Exhilarating and sharp, it never stops for a second. [9 April 1999, Calendar, p.F-6]

Go has great acting, comedy and action. The movie was made in a non-linear way and I love non-linear movies like Go and Memento. The movie is amazing from start to finish. The music in the movie is also a character in the movie. The movie has one of the best soundtracks for a movie, every song adds to the quality of the movie.

Go is unlike any film you have ever seen and I loved every second of it! This unique comedy, from Swingers director, Doug Liman, follows a bunch of people who connect in a supermarket and follow them on their craziest weekend ever. The story is told in four parts, and follow these inevitably connected people from four different angles. As each of their stories are told, the story gets clearer and even more hilarious. This movie was a first for many TV stars on the big screen like Katie Holmes, Scott Wolf, and Jay Mohr, but it's the newcomers like Sarah Polley and Desmond Askew that make this film work. Honestly, this film has everything. It's a great story, action-packed, and hilarious, I can't recommend it enough!

Here is a picture that has wit, a hairpin-turn narrative, high pizazz and ensemble star quality. Ready, set, Go.

An entertaining, clever black comedy that takes place entirely in Tarantino-land.
70
A showy exercise in nervous grit, Go never strays too far from a sense of itself as stunt.
67
Bounces along magnetically even when the storytelling goes a bit flat.
40
Escapism of the worst sort, a manipulative exercise in style that preys on the passivity of its characters and its audience. In the end, Go offers little more than the sour, impermanent rush of a pixie stick.

"Go" is one of the most entertaining movies about nothing. Director Doug Liman (Swingers) does a great job directing this fast paced adventure. Check out my full review on iMDB. Sorry for no links.

Surprisingly fresh feeling ensemble cast deliver memorable performances. There's a unique energy to the film which feels invigorating in 2024. Definitely worth a watch if you like coming of age dramedys.

It was an interesting concept and good movie overall, even though not that memorable when I look back at it now and I think it could have been a bit more interesting in some ways. 6.5 basically from me, but not 7, so putting 6

Simplemente una película para pasar la ****. Muy parecida a hangover. Las historias muy predecibles y sin mucha intensidad. Para verla cuando estés aburrido y solo.

Pour un film signé Doug Liman (!), ce n’est pas si mal, car ô surprise, c’est plutôt filmé à peu près normalement… il faut dire qu’il s’agit d’un petit budget à la limite d’un film indé et que -sans doute- le Doug n’était pas aussi bourré que dans les autres « oeuvres » qu’il a démoulées par la suite -ou alors la coke était trop chère. En tout cas, cette histoire qui retrace les points de vue de plusieurs protagonistes qui finissent par se rejoindre dans le dernier acte, est plutôt bien écrite. Les actions des uns, des unes et des autres se télescopent comme au billard et l’ensemble tient étonnamment bien la route. Le problème reste l’approche tarantineuse (en version édulcorée, c’est pour les djeunzs quand même) éminemment désagréable : tous les personnages sont des caricatures qui ne font pas rire (à moins d’avoir fumé 3 **** ?) et la provocation gratuite est de mise ainsi que le mauvais goût à tous les étages, sans parler de la vulgarité et du côté scabreux de bien des situations. On a tout de même la mignonne Kathy Holmes et la très jolie poupée Sarah Polley pour faire passer la pillule de cette pantalonnade certes bien orchestrée mais qui manque décidément d’intelligence pour exploiter correctement son filon scénaristique.
