Trivia

Timothy Olyphant, who plays Todd, thought the character needed a tattoo, after talking it over with the director, Doug Liman, Doug thought it was a bad idea. The next day, Olyphant showed up with a temporary tattoo that the make-up department had. Liman ended up liking it and it stayed in the movie. It appears on the left side of his neck; it's a pair of flaming dice

Quotes

[Claire and Todd are having breakfast together, and he's reading the funnies in the newspaper]
Claire: So, what do you have against The Family Circus?
Todd: Okay. You sit down and read your paper, and you're enjoying your entire two-page comics spread. Right? And then there's the Family fucking Circus, bottom right-hand corner, just waiting to suck.

Sit down & strap yourself in for this wild ride

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!
