Review of Go

Go (1999)
7/10
Oddly compelling
1 January 2014
This is multi intertwining story lines split into 3 sections. Directed by Doug Liman, this is oddly compelling like an insane night that goes into the vault and never to be spoken about again.

The first section, Ronna (Sarah Polley) Claire (Katie Holmes) and Mannie have a night to remember. Ronna is trying to make a couple of bucks by selling E. When she doesn't have the real thing, she start selling fake E. Katie Holmes is actually a good fit for this character. Sarah Polley is her usual sardonic self.

The second section, Simon (Desmond Askew) is going to Vegas with 3 guys. I call it the three idiots and Taye Diggs. Desmond is certainly energetic. The problem is that these guys are so idiotic that I couldn't root for them.

The third section, Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) are being forced to co-operate by cop Burke (William Fichtner). They set up Ronna for a sting but she gets away. After being creep out by Burke, they set off for a night out.

I like the interlocking storyline. I like the first section best.
