Eighteen-year-old Ronna, accompanied by reluctant partner-in-crime and fellow supermarket checkout clerk Claire, is desperately looking to score some rent money before she's evicted.
Directed by Doug Liman ('Swingers', 'The Bourne Identity') 'Go' was one of my favourite movies of the late 90s: overshadowed somewhat by big hitters like 'Episode I', 'The Matrix' and 'Fight Club', it followed the drug fuelled misadventures of some L.A. youths out clubbing on Christmas Eve.
Adopting a 'Rashoman', 'Pulp Fiction' narrative style, 'Go' bought us three different perspectives on the same story with clever overlaps, pop culture witticisms and snappy dialogue. Sarah Polley was excellent as Ronna, Taye Diggs was typically smooth, Katie Holmes was better than usual, Scott Wolf & Jay Mohr made for an hilarious double act, Timothy Olyphant won a young Hollywood award (in the prestigious 'Best Bad Boy' category no less!) as laid back criminal Todd Gaines, William Fincher was the kind of funny /weird that has to be seen to be believed; whilst co-stars Desmond Askew, Breckin Meyer, Jane Krakowski and Robert Duvall played their parts well. All in all: just a cool, clever and funny movie that keeps you hooked from start to finish with lots of repeat viewing potential. Go see it.
