Critic Reviews

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    Tickled. That's the square old word that comes to mind in response to the self-consciously hip Go.

  • Todd McCarthy, Variety

  • Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune

    An invigorating piece of filmmaking!

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    An entertaining, clever black comedy!

  • J. Hoberman, Village Voice

    A disaster film with an exceedingly witty premise. Instead of a terrorist, volcano, or extraterrestrial invasion, catastrophe is precipitated by the madcap behavior of rash and reckless American youth.

    Three interconnected stories, comic misadventures if you will, told in lively fashion. I liked it.

  • Dan S


    A fun but eventually tiring thriller/comedy concerning a drug deal gone bad and the individuals who get tied up in the mess. This movie wants to give polite tips of the hat to classics like "Rashomon", "Pulp Fiction", and "Run Lola Run", but eventually… More

  • Steven C


    There are some colossally stupid characters running around "Go" and it makes for an extremely fun movie. The three interweaving stories are each funny, thrilling and engrossing. The film is memorably shot and directed by Doug Liman (who has yet to top this film). The cast is… More
