Alternate Versions
A version shown on the USA network for American television included the normal cuts of nudity and profanity. The following scenes are completely cut from the film: Tiny tells the "contact lens story" on the way to Las Vegas; the guys discuss tantric sex in the restaurant (after the scene at the salad bar, the film cuts to the guys arriving at the Riviera in Las Vegas); Simon has sex with the two women and the room catches fire.

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.
