David Ansen Newsweek 03/03/2018
It starts to go awry in frenetic Vegas, when you realize that things happen because the screenplay it, not from any internal logic. It's the whatever school of filmmaking. "Go" has its pleasures, but I didn't really believe a word of it. Go to Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail 03/19/2002
3/4
Tickled. That's the square old word that comes to mind in response to the self-consciously hip Go. Go to Full Review John Wrathall Sight & Sound 03/05/2002
Frenetic, audaciously structured and plot-heavy, packed with enough incident for at least three films. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Sep 5
Doug Liman stitches together a hip jigsaw puzzle of a film with sharp dialogue, cinematic pinnace, and interwoven storylines.... Think of it as a 'Pulp Fiction' for the twentysomething LA underground scene. Go to Full Review Sarah Marloff Washington City Paper 09/23/2024
Told from the perspective of several characters, you’ll get rave scenes, car chases, Breakfast Club references, a killer soundtrack, and even a talking cat. It’s fun, chaotic, and an oddly poignant capturing of life on the brink of Y2K. Go to Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day 09/18/2020

The immersion into into the pulse-pounding zeitgeist feels genuine and compellingly authentic as the drama unfurls through the eternal Day-Glo night. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jason H @RT50328122 Dec 19 A great Xmas movie that nobody talks about. Featuring the movie debut of Melissa McCarthy. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 17 This is one my my favorite movies. But, it takes time to like. For example, I wasn't too fond of it first time around, but second time, it was awesome. What's annoying is that it's really hard to find this movie on RT. You have to look it up on google first in order to find it on the site. This movie should be better known. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 5 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Le S @RT67114437 Aug 24 All the cool movies of the 90s had William Fichtner. See more michael C. @MichaelC2 Aug 20 One of my favorite movies. Was very entertaining. See more Kevin L @Lakeman 04/14/2025 Well that's about 90-some minutes I'd like to get back. Not sure how about 90% of critics gave this a positive review; some of them glowing. Were they on Ecstasy, too, when they saw it? "Pulp Fiction"? This wasn't even "Son of Son of Daughter-in-Law of Pulp Fiction". It's as if the writer and director were best buds, watched some 'one crazy night' 80's flicks and saw "Pulp Fiction" 25 times and thought, "Hey, we can do that". Well, buds...wrong! I love Sarah Polley, and she's fine. Holmes is ok. Jay Rohr is cardboard, as always. Bexton is bad, and somehow actual Brit Askew has a horribly fake sounding British accent. Both very annoying characters, too. It's not all bad, though. There are some very attractive women, a couple quite well 'established'. The score is a good fit for the movie. And the pacing is pretty brisk. But the cliched chase down by the Vegas strip club guys is lame. And the ending is dumb. Are we to believe that Manny is still gonna be there in the same hiding place after days, maybe a week plus, and still alive? 2.5 stars See more Read all reviews
