    Go

    I watched this last night for the first time in probably 6 or 7 years and I had forgotten how thoroughly enjoyable a movie it is.Yes,its very Tarantinoesque in the way the plot develops but to say its a rip off is doing it a disservice.The cast of (at the time) relative unknowns,top notch soundtrack,some really funny dialogue and stellar performances all around,particularly from William Fichtner as Burke and Desmond Askew as Simon make this one of the most over looked movies of the late ninties / early noughties.Hell,even Katie Holmes' turn didnt make me want to shoot myself.

    Any fans of it here?

    Always liked is... the fact they end up where they started and the various ways the story connects together. While since I watched it

    I haven't seen it since it was in cinemas, but I remember at the time thinking it was a cheap Tarantino imitation.

    Could be that there's more to it, but there didn't seem to be back then.

    Its easy to see why you thought that but apart from the fact the story unfolds with a number of interlinked characters its not like a QT movie at all.I would recommend giving it another shot though,I liked it when I saw it first but liked it a helluva lot more this time around.

    Absolute classic. I'm yet to show this film to someone and receive a negative review. The worst part of watching it though is how it reminds you that Doug Liman just crashed and burned after. He went from go to what is surely the most boring of the Bournes, then to Mr and Mrs Smith anf topped it off with the appalling Jumper. What happened dude?!?!?!?!?!

    It's a superb movie.. myself and a mate were chatting about it recently.

    Very witty dialogue, great direction from Doug Liman and all round entertaining!

    Plus I do think Katie Holmes was at her hottest in this!

    One of those films I've loved since I first laid eyes upon it. Anyone who enjoyed Go should check out the equally brilliant Thursday.

    I forking love Thursday,it is criminally underseen mainly because it didnt get a dvd release in ROI or the UK and AFAIK it never has done either.I bought it through ebay 4 or 5 years ago and had to get it shipped from Denmark.Anyone Ive ever shown it to has loved it too.
