100Breakneck, raucous and thoroughly exhilarating.
-
100The one truly thrilling movie I've seen so far this year.
-
100Offers breathtaking comic-action fantasy….Exhilarating and sharp, it never stops for a second. [9 April 1999, Calendar, p.F-6]
-
90John August's script is exciting, witty, original material, and this film's got the talent to match.
-
90One of the most exhilarating movies ever made about absolutely nothing.
-
90The latest furiously paced, perversely entertaining "Pulp Fiction" for puppies.
-
90Manages to present rave youth's on-the-go attitude as well as "Swingers" exposed its hipster culture.
-
88Darkly hilarious.
-
88A triptych whirling on a Lazy Susan of revolving character perspectives.
-
80A dark and edgy teen comedy that's also one of the most excitingly unpredictable American comedies since "Pulp Fiction."
-
80He (Liman) creates a film that lives up to the momentum of its title and doesn't really need much more.
-
80Here is a picture that has wit, a hairpin-turn narrative, high pizazz and ensemble star quality. Ready, set, Go.
-
75An entertaining, clever black comedy that takes place entirely in Tarantino-land.
-
Ultimately is a fast-moving trip to nowhere. The buzz is enjoyable while it lasts, but don't be surprised by the sour aftertaste.
-
75A nasty little picture with a lot of wit and impudence.
-
75This dark comedy comes off more giddy than gritty.
-
75"Pulp Fiction" wannabes don't get much slicker or edgier than Go.
-
75Like circus acrobats who bounce up smiling, the characters end up on their feet, and you realize in retrospect that they survived because somebody, finally, stopped to think. A final thought on Go: Go.
-
70Liman's buoyant direction is almost enough to make one forgive the film its heavily appropriated plot (including its groaner of a punchline).
-
70Entertaining and slight, topical and cannily familiar.
-
70A showy exercise in nervous grit, Go never strays too far from a sense of itself as stunt.
-
70An overly calculated concoction that nonetheless delivers a pretty good rush.
-
67Relentless and mercurial, this new outing by "Swingers" director Liman takes off somewhere around Mach 3 and never lets up, leaving you with either a pounding headache or a wicked grin, or perhaps both.
-
67Bounces along magnetically even when the storytelling goes a bit flat.
-
63Fast-paced and often witty, but ultimately vapid.
-
50Although some of the acting is strong, the atmosphere is so relentlessly sleazy that many moviegoers will want to go long before the final credits.
-
50When the writing is good, Go is good, and when the writing is flat, things fall apart.
-
50John August's trickily structured script owes an all too obvious debt to "Pulp Fiction," but Liman's film is more like kiddie Tarantino.
-
40Escapism of the worst sort, a manipulative exercise in style that preys on the passivity of its characters and its audience. In the end, Go offers little more than the sour, impermanent rush of a pixie stick.
