MCT:July 1, 2008I didnt like how the film went back and forward all the time..It made it confusing in some parts. But after watching this movie over and over it gets better each time.

A fine little film, better for being broken into 3 bite size chunks... + Katie Holmes pouting throughout!

MCT:June 17, 2008In the wake of Pulp Fiction, many films tried to imitate the style of multiple intertwining storylines, to various degrees of success. Personally, I think this one fared best.
Directed by Doug Liman (Mr & Mrs Smith, Bourne Identity) and filled with entertaining performances by a large cast underrated actors, this is a film that went unnoticed by most people and deserves more attention. -

Brilliant black comedy in the essence of pulp fiction i.e the film features three intertwining plots all connected by a drug deal. Sarah Polleys segment was the best and darkest , Polley can do no wrong in my eyes. If you enjoy your black comedies like I do then GO is definately for you, smart, funny, extremely witty and hip.

Go works for so many reasons it takes a tried and tested formula - the point of view story - puts a good cast to work with the story and then to add to it Doug Liman directs it spot on. The story is great it has action and a lot of laughs it also has teen elements and dramatic parts too the cast work it to a tee.

Ensemble cast tries to make the big leap from TV to movie stardom, and a good chunk of them succeeded. I always figured Sarah Polley would grow up to be an Academy Award nominated actress, but I always thought it'd be from acting not writing, oh well. At least she's gotten a nomination. A minor 90s cult classic in the Pulp Fiction vein for the rave set.

This film rather shocked me. I hadn't heard much about it and only knew that the structure was similar to that of Pulp Fiction. It had been recommended to be from a valued source, so I did intend on watching it quite soon. When it came on tv I made sure I was around to watch it. Many things surprised me about it. The first one being the fact that Katie Holmes managed to produce a pretty good performance. Although it wasn't amazing, she did considerably better than a lot of her other performances. Before watching I also had no idea of the ensemble cast. I was glad to see some actors who I'd thought had disappeared after being on big tv programs. Like Scott Wolf from Party of Five and the woman who used to be on Ally McBeal. Wolf gave a good performance although he was pretty unconvincing as a gay man, as was Jay Mohr. I liked that the film started at the end, and although it was far off of Pulp Fiction quality, it was still a massive pleasure to watch. I love that you can know nothing about a film when you watch it and be completely surprised about it when it's finished. This film did that for me. I'm sure it won't be for everyone but I'd certainly recommend giving it a shot.

I could watch this movie over and over again and never get bored with it. It's not a perfect movie but it is always entertaining. I also love the cast.
Timothy Olyphant to me though was never as good as he is here as a drug dealer. This movie, made me a big fan of his. I still am even if he chose some bad roles in 2007.
While Desmond Askew is hilarious as Simon; a British man who goes to Vegas for the first time with his friends. He gets them in a whole lot of trouble when he shoots a bouncer with a gun he found. Taye Diggs is also really good as the friend who's with him at the time.
The scenes with 2 gay boyfriend actors played by Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf follows the Diggs and Askew scenes. Even if William Fichtner is brilliantly funny as a cop using them to catch drug dealers; it's not as good as the previous scenes with Askew and Diggs. -

so funny and underrated comedy. It was compared ti Pulp Fiction but i think it'a an unfair parallel: Go isn't a masterpiece but it surely has its own (great) style.

MCT:March 12, 2008GO (1999)
directed by Doug Liman
starring Sarah Polley, Desmond Askew, Katie HolmesGo was a nice little surprise when it came out in 1999. It could have been just any teen flick trying to look cool with all the style it overused. But Doug Liman had proven with his previous film, Swingers, that he was talented and he proved it with this one as well. Go is one of many films that exist thanks to the success of Pulp Fiction, but what the other films didnt do right, this one does. Young filmmakers thought it was about the gansters and the dialogues when its actually about the structure and the unexpected turns. Its Christmas's eve and people will celebrate.Ronna ... is an 18-year-old cashier in a grocery store, she accept to take a coworker's shift cause she need the money not to be evicted. Two dudes show up for that coworker but since he aint there, she tries to find the drugs they wanted from him. She shows up at the dealer's place, leave her friend as a collateral then realize she is stuck in deal that'll take her to jail, she back off, take her friend with her, they go to a party and cell allergy pills as if they were hits of ecstasy. It comes to the ears of the dealer who thinks she is selling his stuff but before she gets to her, a car hits her and she is left for dead. Rewind.
Simon ... is a clumsy British dude in California, he messes up everything he touches, he exchange his shift with Ronna so he can go to Vegas with some friends. He loses all his money, has sex with two women, steals a car, fire a gun and stip club owners are looking after him. Rewind.
Adam and Zack ... are two actors, they are gay. They have been caught with drugs and made a deal with the cops. They have to take them to Simon, but he is in Vegas, so they ask Ronna to get them the stuff they need. When she backs off they go to the cop's place where he and his wife try to sell them confederated products. They leave and find themselves at the same party as everyone else. They leave and hit a girl with their car.
Everything comes down together at the end of the film proving that each stories were important. There is no major important theme in Go. Its mostly abouot style and fun. There are some very funny moments and the film isnt scared to go further with shock values. There are plenty of cool shots, interesting dialogues and fun performances. Many young actors with potential appeared in this film and some are pretty big today lke Katie Holmes, Sarah Polley, Timothy Olyphant. Others were just not lucky enough to pick the right following projects. Fun film with a cool soundtrack. The editing makes it obvious this film was made for the MTV generation.

MCT:March 2, 2008I remember my brother rented this a long long time ago (well, around 1999 of course) and it simply didn't look remotely interesting... but he was into Katie Holmes. I hate her (and Jay Mohr) so I don't care if this has Sarah Polley, Taye Diggs AND Jane Krakowski in it. I won't see it.

pretty good for an older movie ......alotta movies like having not seen them when they first come out makes for a lame debut having not originally liked it

MCT:February 17, 2008
i really liked this one
first it has a really good cast, a multylayer story shown from 3 differnt directions and funny characters which are still quite realistic
i think it's quite well shot also
although the story as a whole is nothing new, there are a lot of small twists inside which surprised me and which keep it all somehow fresh ...
i'm not sure anyone can get into as much trouble as the british guy managed to and survive, but it surely was fun watching him :)
i can recomend this for sure - was funny and refreshing somehow -

First, it is funny. Secondly the three points of view is not a new idea but done and pictured perfectly. And, great music!

Its entertaining for a laugh, but the events that take place, if taken seriously, are unrealistic and stupid on a grand scale.

MCT:February 11, 2008Singh: Just so we're clear, you stole a car, shot a bouncer, and had sex with two women?
A little seen, ecstacy adventure/dark comedy. Plays like a twentysomethings version of Pulp Fiction. 3 stories each with a different flavor and different characters taking place within the same time span of 12 hours or so, followed by a wrap up of all the threads.
The first story is about Ronna, played by Sarah Polley. She goes through an ordeal involving drug deals in order to pay her rent and make it through Christmas. Things of course don't go as planned when conflict arises in the form of a shady dealer played by Timothy Olyphant.
The second story involves Simon, his friends, which include Taye Diggs and Breckyn Meyer, and their misadventures in Vegas. It is very much an exaggerated story involving sex, drugs, gunplay, and car chases.
The third story involves two actors, Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf, who were busted for possession and must now be a part of a sting to get themselves off the hook. Their story turns into a dark and strange sitcom of sorts, especially with scenes involving a law enforcer played creepily by William Fichtner.
This movie is a lot of fun. It is paced extremely well, with almost no moments of deadness.
Being about drugs for the most part, director Doug Liman has given the film almost the perspective of being in the midst of an ecstasy trip throughout.
Very enjoyable with some crisp editing, fun actors, and a hip soundtrack.
Tiny: Yo, I told you, my mother's mother's mother was black!
Marcus: Your mother's mother's mother, f*** - this ain't "Roots", mutha... Man, I wanna see a picture of this Nubian princess. If you were any less black, you would be clear. -

another 'quirky' teen film from the 90s that was different from the likes of 'shes all that' and '10 things i hate about you' a much darker teen movie about drugs,clubbing and general teen life! one of katie holmes first movies after her dawsons creek fame!

Similar in construction to Citizen Kane, Rashomon, Run Lola Run, and Velvet Goldmine (whoda thunk all those films would have something in common!), this comedy about a grocery cashier doublecrossing a drug dealer is told from three different perspectives. Much more entertaining than it sounds, It's interesting how plot points that seem out of the blue make perfect sense when the next story is told. Stars Sarah Polley as the cashier, Katie Holmes as her buddy and Jay Morh (I know, but he's pretty good here) as an actor who is the instigator of the deal. I dare you to see this and not go "Huh. That was pretty cool" at the end of it.

MCT:January 27, 2008Relatively interesting story told from 3 different view points in order to get the complete story. However, unlike À la folie... pas du tout , it's not the exact same story being retold, as the 3 different view points are involved in different parts of the story. Also, interesting to see a 21-year old Katie Holmes, although she looks much younger in the movie.
