Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
gavin6942 Go! tells the story of the events after a drug deal, told from three different points of view.This film is sort of a cross between "Trainspotting", "Lola Rennt" and some sort of party movie like "Can't Hardly Wait". It is clever in that it tells the same story from three different points of view, and not so much that you get a lot of repeat. (It is marginally better than "Lola" in this regard.) The cast is pretty good, even with Katie Holmes. Sarah polley is incredible as usual, and we get some fine folks like James Duval. We also get a kid from "Part of Five" whose name I forget because he was not important since the 1990s... Scott Wolf, maybe?
Scott LeBrun "Go" worked well enough for this viewer due to a quick pace, an engaging cast, a fair amount of chuckles, and a decent amount of entertainment value overall. It might not work for others due to the fact that there's nobody here to really root for. Too many of the characters are senseless or sordid. It also might have worked better if it weren't so obviously influenced by the Quentin Tarantino filmography. But it does an okay job of telling three connected stories, and tying them all together at the end. Director Doug Liman creates flashy visuals in the attempt to make this a hip and stylish affair.Four people get their stories told. Ronna (Sarah Polley) is a supermarket cashier in desperate need of cash to prevent her own eviction. So she gets in over her head trying to make a drug deal. Simon (Desmond Askew) is one of her co-workers who wants to have a wild weekend with his buddies in Las Vegas, and is willing to pay Ronna to work his shift. Finally, we see what happens to gay couple Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) - both of them actors - when they get in trouble with the law and agree to help quirky cop Burke (William Fichtner) with a sting operation.Some of these actors make this more watchable than it may have been otherwise. Fichtner is particularly funny (and for those interested, he bares his backside), Askew is amusing although his character is a dolt, and Timothy Olyphant does well as a drug dealer. Katie Holmes, Nathan Bexton, Taye Diggs, Breckin Meyer, James Duval, Tane McClure, Jimmy Shubert, J.E. Freeman, Jay Paulson, and Jane Krakowski round out this cast. Future star Melissa McCarthy can be seen in a bit.There is some fun to be had as the screenwriter, John August, and Liman, go about their business of assembling all of these separate episodes into a whole. The movie as a whole is nothing special, but it does provide a reasonable diversion for 102 minutes.Seven out of 10.
Destroyer Wod I got this movie around a year ago... yes it took me some time to watch it(which i did tonight). The reason is simple, i got it as part of my obsession for teen comedies. Yes the kind of Superbad, American Pie, College, Van Wilder and so on. I learn afterword on IMDb that it was actually not a comedy at all, more like a serious movie with a good scenario. I waited for he right occasion and i did tonight.So lets just say people where exactly true on IMDb and the cover arts are really misleading cause despise a few things in the middle, it ain't a comedy at all. I was really surprised when the movie cut back to the beginning after the Ronna's story. I was disappointed cause i was starting to like the story and was eager to know what would happen next to her. But then the Simon story happen and its clearly the most fun of the 3. It does have a bit of a teen comedy feel even tough its much more serious and dark but i wish that part would had last longer.Finally the third part with the actors was really forgivable... boring even to be honest, and its disappointing the movie pretty much end with it, adding only a little story conclusion at the end.So bottom line what can i say... i liked part of this movie, i didn't like others, i am NOT a fan of movies cut into pieces and showing different point of views a la Pulp Fiction, but at least this one was made so the story is unfold in order, unlike Pulp Fiction, which was hard to follow and boring to my own taste.I will say i am glad i finally watched it, had a "good time" but its going to the pawnshop with my next back of DVDs for sale... If i could put 6.5 on 10, i would, but the movie does not qualify to a 7 to me.
Andrew Brauer BY THE WAY:THIS IS A NEW FORMAT, IT WON'T BE LIKE MY LAST REVIEW, JUST FOR YOUR CONCERN. HERE'S THE LINK FOR MAGIC MAGIC REVIEW http://www.imdb.com/user/ur42840778/?ref_=nv_usr_prof_2The '90s seemed to be all about Pulp Fiction, but I'm not talking about that big film today, as for this review it's about the 1999 Cult Classic "Go". Many critics claimed it to be the best ripoff of Pulp Fiction, not granted I've never seen Pulp Fiction (I will one day), but after watching "Go" I can kinda get an idea on what it's about. "Go" takes place over the course of a Christmas Night, in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and follows several young adults doing some stupid stuff. First we meet Ronna (Sarah Polley), a 24 Hour Store clerk who's in desperate need of some cash for rent, or else she'll be evicted. She decides to take her co-worker Simon's (Desmond Askew) shift while he goes to Las Vegas with some friends of his. But she soon gets the opportunity to make some more money when a pair of Soap Opera actors (Jay Mohr and Scott Wolfe) walk in hoping to score some drugs, since they usually go to Simon for drugs. Ronna gets her co- worker friend Manny (Nathan Bexton) and her more levelheaded friend Claire (Katie Holmes) to help out when she gets the supply from a drug dealer named Todd (Timothy Olyphant), but soon things get hectic. What I told you was just one part of the story, there is much more craziness to be had in this film, and I mean crazy in a great way. "Go" is one of the most entertaining movies about nothing. Director Doug Liman (Swingers) does a great job directing this fast paced adventure. There's plenty of cool camera tricks and great editing, that shows us Liman's cinematography skills. The script by John August is also darkly hysterical with many quotable lines. And the acting all around is great, with the standouts being Polley, Mohr, Wolfe, Holmes, Olyphant, and Askew. Problems include a slightly anti-climatic ending, and some illogical scenes, but in the end, a few words to say about this film are: GO see it.
