Review of Go

Go (1999)
8/10
More than a Pulp Fiction wannabe
10 January 2000
"Go" owes an obvious debt to "Pulp Fiction", with its unusual continuity and interconnecting storylines. The film cannot be dismissed as a mere rip-off, however, thanks to a terrific cast, a wildly funny script, and the manic, fast-paced direction of Doug Liman, who delivers a worthy follow-up to his magnificent "Swingers". The characters are all people we can like and relate to - an amazing feat, considering that they include drug dealers and takers, thieves, gamblers, and a few with decidedly unexpected sexual proclivities. It's not predictable for a second, and - unlike far too many films in 1999 - isn't padded. A future cult movie. (8/10)
