Go has not gotten even half of the praise it deserves. The script is genius and the fast paced directing and cinematography are totally the reason to see something in the theatre rather than video. And this is not just another "oh this is my favorite movie, so it has to be great" reviews, there are facts. The epic Godfather, ranked as the best movie ever created by a human being, is lucky if it goes for 20 minutes without having the sound lose sync with the mouth movement. Not that I'm totally knocking it. And also, everyone says, "oh Go is the son of Pulp Fiction", "a lesser Pulp Fiction", but the fact is the it's structure has much more in common with the other Tarantino great Jackie Brown. Rent this to see what great cinema is.

Covid sucks and it's been a pretty boring year. The only possible positive I can think of is having the time to find classic movies like this. 'Go' came out in 1999, when I was in High School, but I'm still surprised I haven't watched it before. I remember hearing it was a "Tarantino wanna be" from Doug Liman, but it's so much more. First, the story/plot is simple to follow but very entertaining. Not only does it have a great story but it's executed to perfection by the well chosen cast. Just to name a few members: Katie Holmes, William Fichtner, Taye Diggs, Timothy Olyphant, Jay Mohr, Sarah Polly, and it even has the debut of Melissa McCarthy. It's very rare to find a movie with this kind of cast and I was blown away by it. My favorite thing about the movie: It's length. It's a perfect amount of time to entertain you, but not take up a huge chunk of your day. It's direct and to the point, with no wasted screen time. I wish we had more movies like it.

If you haven't had the chance or maybe if you are just bored like I was, give this movie a chance and you won't be disappointed.

This film was quite a surprise, I knew its vibe screamed 90s and that was one of the reasons I was so drawn to it, the other one being that it's a multiple point of view story, which if done very well, it can be really effective and efficient in telling a story. So the premise is a drug deal gone awry, and told from three different perspectives, of course each providing us different takes on the same problem and how it got the characters there in the first place. Really interesting, well executed. The acting is great, especially Timothy Olyphant and William Fichtner, who stand out in my opinion. One of the most interesting aspects of the film is that the people involved are just young, naive people, rather than gangsters and evil-spirited people. Timothy Olyphant's character is kinda shady, but he's really charismatic and that's an engaging quality. There is an arousing mixture of characters that constantly mess up and the results are exhilarating.

Go is clearly an underrated film, and if you are reading this, I highly recommend it to you.

This film has traces of Pulp Fiction embedded in it, but it's got a little "Swingers" and other films to it as well. All in all it's an entertaining movie which ends without epiphany for these characters (like .....). This film has multiple stories but does not try to be alternative and cool. It just wants to work! Sarah Polley (whom I never heard of at the time but follow her work now) was great; Katie Holmes wasn't quite Katie Holmes - and that was good; Fichtner's good; but my favorite was Timothy Olyphant who did a kick-ass job of a charasmatic bad-guy (it was hard not to hate him by the end). I've read the other comments and these people just take this thing TOO seriously! It's not the movie of 1999, it's not "Pulp Fiction", it's just "Go". I have this movie on DVD and heard Doug Linman's commentary: he sounds like he had a lot of fun making this. I had a killer time watching this. I guess if I came in with different expectations I would've hated it like everyone else on this site!

A little gem of a movie, an excellent follow-up (but not sequel) to the fantastic "Swingers".

Sarah Polley is worth the price of admission alone, for her excellent performance. She is supported by an equally excellent cast including Taye Diggs, Scott Wolf, Katie Holmes, Jay Mohr, and Timothy Olyphant - among others.

Many viewed this movie as being an MTV version of Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" and, while this may to an extent me true, it is obviously much more than that; and an excellent stand-alone movie of it's own.

Split into 3 separate storylines which clash and collide along the way, finally merging as the movie comes to a close, this movie constantly keeps the viewer on edge; and provides an excellent example of the drug/club etc. scene of the 90's and 00's.

Favourite scene has to be: where the teens in the car (in the first storyline) are convinced they're 'going up', as they believe they're on Es - but are really on aspirin and allergy medicine! Fantastic!!!!

Funny, edgy, fast-paced with a sharp script, strong cast, and excellent soundtrack.
