Go - Una notte da dimenticare

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!

It's fun going back and watching these movies from the 90s and seeing all these actors before they made it as big as they did (or at least some of them did). 'Go' got itself a pretty decent cast and probably did it for the minimum cost. Even Melissa McCarthy makes a brief (but quite funny) cameo. It meant a lot of fun performances in a fun little film.

I've always enjoyed the 3-perspective format. I've seen it in television a lot (it works perfectly in sit-com format separated by two ad breaks) but haven't seen it as often in films. I thought it was going to be how three people experienced the same story but it was more a case of three separate stories which happen to intersect a lot.

I found the characters in this movie either likeable or interesting. The likeable ones weren't always interesting but the unlikable ones certainly were (if that makes sense). The film also finds a good balance between humour and seriousness. It has some laughs but it never feels like that is the primary goal. I liked this film. 7/10.

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.

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.

One of the best this year! A wild ride that is hard to not compare to "Pulp Fiction", but if you didn't like Pulp, you won't like Go. I loved both, so this is a treat! Doug Liman had directed a worthy follow-up to Swingers, in the eyes of 7 kids and a drug deal gone way bad. The funniest moments come from Desmond Askew and Taye Diggs in Las Vegas. Never once is this movie dull. Watch with an open mind and a wild imagination!
