Go (1999)


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139239/

Go is a 1999 American film written by John August and directed by Doug Liman, with three intertwining plots that happen to involve one drug deal. The movie is told out of chronological format, with one of the last scenes appearing first and the story being told from four different points of view.


Katie Holmes ... Claire Montgomery
Sarah Polley ... Ronna Martin
Suzanne Krull ... Stringy Haired Woman
Desmond Askew ... Simon Baines
Nathan Bexton ... Mannie
Robert Peters ... Switterman
Scott Wolf ... Adam
Jay Mohr ... Zack
Timothy Olyphant ... Todd Gaines
Jodi Bianca Wise ... Ballerina Girl
William Fichtner ... Burke
Rita Bland ... Dancing Register Woman
Tony Denman ... Track Suit Guy
Scott Hass ... Raver Dude
Natasha Melnick ... Anorexic Girl


Critics generally found Go's fast pace and light-hearted feel appealing, and the film received a 92% "fresh" rating from Rotten Tomatoes (83% from the cream of the crop). The film made a profit at the box office grossing $28.4 million worldwide against a $6.5 million budget.

Because of its irreverent and frequently off-topic dialogue, fast pace, rapidly changing point of view, and achronological format, the film is generally categorized as one of many movies of varying quality that attempted to capture the same style of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Leonard Maltin, who disliked the film, said that Go came off as a "junior Pulp Fiction". However, unlike many of the films in the subgenre, the comparisons were mostly favorable, with Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times stating that "[Go] is an entertaining, clever black comedy that takes place entirely in Tarantino-land."
