Go

4.5

Synopsis:

Told from three perspectives, a story of a bunch of young Californians trying to get some cash, do and deal some drugs, score money and sex in Las Vegas, and generally experience the rush of life.

Quick Thoughts:

“Go” was quite game-changing when it was released in 1999. Yet some mock it as a lesser attempt at the cinematic storytelling style of Pulp fiction, or even just a copycat. But there’s something fresh about how director Doug Liman twists around character cliches, always leaving the viewer surprised. But there’s another key reason “Go” was groundbreaking – it was one of the first major studios to include a gay storyline. Regardless of whether or not you agree this is a Christmas film, “Go” is a great film to watch if you want something a bit darker, a bit more realistic, and a film that will keep you on the edge of your seat. “Go” grab yourself a copy and give it a “Go” (Ok… I’ll stop. I promise!)
