"Go" features a first rate cast of actors who ease nicely into their roles and slide into that fine balance between seriousness and humor that the screenplay establishes. The direction by Doug Liman is also well-handled and shows some inventiveness without being overindulgent.Īdditionally, the soundtrack is skillfully assembled and fits the film's atmosphere perfectly. John August's script uses this approach well and manages to tell a story that is clever and unpredictable. The narrative approach is similar to films like "Pulp Fiction", wherein multiple story lines contain some common element(s) and intersect at times throughout the film. One concerns a first-time dealer hoping to secure rent money, another concerns a group of pals on a road trip to Vegas and the last concerns a gay couple coerced into co-operating with a sting operation. "Go" tells three separate stories linked together by a drug deal gone wrong. Told from three perspectives, a story of a bunch of young Californians trying to get some cash, do and deal some drugs, score money and sex in Las Vegas, and generally experience the rush of life. "A weekend wasted is never a wasted weekend."
