One of the best

Loved Pulp Fiction? Then you will most likely enjoy a fun-ride called GO, directed by Doug Liman who also did Swingers and is currently attached to direct Bourne Identity with Matt Damon. I went into this movie expecting a typical teen comedy but I walked with my jaw dropped. I could not remember the last time I have seen a movie that was this much fun. This flick is pure example of how much fun a story can be. An intelligent, balls-out entertainment for everyone who enjoys fun movies. Most people tend to praise movies with a 'message', Go has no 'real' message but it does show how much fun something can be. Most people will try to live this story out on their own because it's just that good. Everyone, in some weird way, would love to experience what these bunch of people experienced in this movie. Comedy, sex, guns.. I can go and on.. but who can forget this fun cast who made the movie oh-so-memorable.

Here we have three separate stories that take place the same day/night. It's one of those things that shows you that everyone you meet has a story to their name, and what fun stories do these character have! First up we have Ronna Martin (Sarah Polley) who goes a bit too far and tries to screw a local drug dealer over, we all know how those stories end up but you'll never guess what turn this one takes. Ronna is a work related friend to Simon Baines (Demons Askew), a (...) British dude who just so happens to be friends with the drug dealer who is out to find Ronna. Simon decides to take some vacation time to Vegas with his buddies Marscus (Taye Diggs), Singh (James Duval) and Tiny (Breckin Mayer). Next up we have the third story that just barely fits into the loop. A story of Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr), two guys who have been busted by a cop named Burke (William Fichtner) for a drug possession. Adam and Zack just so happen' to be friends with Simon, who use to hook them up with the right stuff thru the drug dealer Todd (Timothy Olaphant) who just so happens to be out to find Ronna who screwed him over. See how much fun this sounds like? Well, it is. I have seen this movie over thirty times and I am yet to get bored with it, every time I watch it, I get more and more entertained. It is just that much fun!

Go reminded me why I love movies so much, the fact that I can sit down and watch this movie over and over and not get bored. We rarely find movies such as this and it would be shame for any movie fan not to see it because it is a real treat. Older folks will not be drawn to this movie one bit because this movie will simply give them fuel for their fire. An excuse to rip the younger generations apart, so to say. However I will go as far as to say that if this movie was ever brought back to the big screen, I would definitely go back and see it again.

"Go" is a must for any movie enthusiast

This movie has everything you're looking for in a good action/drama movie. Sex, drugs, gunfights, and a lot of laughs. If you have ever seen or heard about the movie "Magnolia", you will realize that the theme is somewhat the same. The way the movie is aligned, it shows that everyone's lives are interrelated, and for one crazy night, this movie shows you how. This movie takes you everywhere from the everyday supermarket to underground rave parties, casinos, to stripclubs. I highly suggest that if this sounds remotely interesting to you, at least rent it.

Defines "Hip And Intelligent"

Aaahh, if only this movie came out before Pulp Fiction. It would've been hailed as one of the greatest movies of all time. But although it borrows heavily from Pulp Fiction the way the story is told, the similarity stops there. This movie is amazing in so many ways, I never tire from watching it.

First, a short account of the story. It has basically 3 stories but they are ironically related. One is about Ronna and because of her financial difficulties, she engages in a drug deal and of course it turns sour. Simon meanwhile, who works with Ronna takes a trip to Las Vegas with his buddies and they get entangled with prostitutes and mobsters with hilarious results. And finally we have Adam and Zack, a gay couple who get mixed up with a cop because of drug possession. You probably can see bits and pieces of a puzzle, but how it all adds up will definitely give you tremendous satisfaction and fun.

I have to say kudos to the writers for doing a fantastic job. The script is written very well and having been a teen myself, it does represent teenagers to a certain ammount of accuracy. The script is also tinged with humour and wit to make it entertaining. Really good work from the writers! Of course, no movie can do well with just a good script. Which brings me to my next point, the acting. Unbelievable performances from some of Hollywood's up-and-comers at the time. I usually highlight the best acting, but everyone was equally good in their roles here, from Sarah Polley to Timothy "The Man" Olyphant (his pre-Deadwood days and he's a cool mutha even then). It all made the story so convincing.

The directing was also superb. Doug Liman maintained the authenticity and ambience of the whole movie very well. And special mention about the music from BT...it was awesome, and fitted the movie very well. I even bought the soundtrack, really a rare find with it's variety of songs from some of the best artists around. In short, I felt that everything about the movie came together very well thus the 5-star rating.

Make no mistake, this is not your average teen movie. It is brilliantly conceived and executed, with some of the best dialogue ever written. It's definitely a classic in my opinion. Rarely do I find myself enjoying a movie as much as this, everytime I watch it. Highly recommended, a must-buy!

I bought this for Wm Fichtner but he's not in it that much. The parts he is in are priceless but I recommend just renting it if you are watching it for him.

The rest of the movie is alternately sad and funny and weird. Not too bad... but I'll be selling it on ebay.

Go is the ticket for a sweet ride

what I thought about this film is the following: good actors, the script is OK and the outcome is alright. Somethings about this movie lack a lot and some might say its a Pulp Fiction-esque type movie and it is in its only little world. Sarah Polley (The Claim, Dawn Of The Dead '04), Katie Holmes (Tv's Dawson's Creek, upcoming Batman Begins) and Timothy Olphant (HBO's Deadwood, Scream 2) were the only ones that did outstanding performances in this movie. the other outstanding cast includes the following: Jay Mohr (upcoming King's Ransom, Jerry Maguire), Scott Wolf (Tv's Party Of Five, Killing Emmett Young), William Ficthner (Armageddon, Equilibrium), Desmond Askew, Taye Diggs (Malibu's Most Wanted, The Way Of The Gun), Breckin Meyer (Road Trip, Tv's Married With The Kelly), Jane Krakowski (tv's Ally McBeal), James DuVal (Nowhere, Independence Day), J.E. Freeman, Tony Denman (Dorm Daze), Nathan Bexton (Psycho Beach Party), Katharine Towne (Mulholland Drive) and many more. highlight would have to be all of Sarah Polley's characters story view because she is just too darn gorgeous.
