Notebook Reviews: GO

Doug Liman – 1999

Director Doug Liman delivers an energetic and hugely effective comedic thriller with Go.

Told from three perspectives (with Pulp Fiction vibes), it features a good cast (William Fichtner, Katie Holmes, Jay Mohr, Sarah Polley, Scott Wolf, Taye Diggs and Timothy Olyphant) who all grasp the tone of the material. The whole thing gallops along at a wonderful speed and just keeps moving from the word ‘Go‘. 

A strong soundtrack and well-tuned moments means that Go is an entertaining couple of hours.
