Go
Short description
Three separate stories collide over one chaotic weekend. Ronna, a supermarket cashier short on rent money, takes over a drug deal for her coworker Simon when he leaves town, while her friend Claire gets drawn in alongside her. Simon, meanwhile, heads to Las Vegas with friends and finds trouble of his own. Elsewhere, two television actors, Adam and Zack, are cooperating with an eccentric police officer who has an assignment for them. Their paths cross in ways none of them expect.
Doug Liman directed the film, his second feature after Swingers, and John August wrote the screenplay. Sarah Polley plays Ronna, with Timothy Olyphant, Katie Holmes, Desmond Askew, Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf among the cast. The production cost about 20 million dollars and took in roughly 28 million worldwide, a modest return.
On IMDb the film holds a 7.2 rating from around 80,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 7 out of 10 from about 860 votes. A critics' rating of 7.8 from 77 reviews places it somewhat above the audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- The English title of the film, Go, is one of the slang terms for methamphetamine (“whizz”).
- The cop drives Zack and Adam in a car with license plate 2GAT123 – a fictional Hollywood license plate that appears in many films.
- While Ronna (Sarah Polley) chats with a drug dealer, the Santa Claus hat shifts position from different angles.
- When the dealer discovers the swapped 'wheels,' the items on the table change position with each cut.
- While in the trunk, Simon lights himself with a lighter, but the light, of course, doesn't come from it. This is especially noticeable when he extinguishes the flame (the light turns off later).
- When Ronna exits the store at the very beginning of the film, she switches the jacket to her right hand, but in the next shot, the jacket is in her left hand.
