Offers breathtaking comic-action fantasy….Exhilarating and sharp, it never stops for a second. [9 April 1999, Calendar, p.F-6]
One of the most exhilarating movies ever made about absolutely nothing.

Report
Here is a picture that has wit, a hairpin-turn narrative, high pizazz and ensemble star quality. Ready, set, Go.
An entertaining, clever black comedy that takes place entirely in Tarantino-land.
A showy exercise in nervous grit, Go never strays too far from a sense of itself as stunt.
Bounces along magnetically even when the storytelling goes a bit flat.
Escapism 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.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Pour un film signé Doug Liman (!), ce n’est pas si mal, car ô surprise, c’est plutôt filmé à peu près normalement… il faut dire qu’il s’agit d’un petit budget à la limite d’un film indé et que -sans doute- le Doug n’était pas aussi bourré que dans les autres « oeuvres » qu’il a démoulées par la suite -ou alors la coke était trop chère.
En tout cas, cette histoire qui retrace les points de vue de plusieurs protagonistes qui finissent par se rejoindre dans le dernier acte, est plutôt bien écrite. Les actions des uns, des unes et des autres se télescopent comme au billard et l’ensemble tient étonnamment bien la route.
Le problème reste l’approche tarantineuse (en version édulcorée, c’est pour les djeunzs quand même) éminemment désagréable : tous les personnages sont des caricatures qui ne font pas rire (à moins d’avoir fumé 3 **** ?) et la provocation gratuite est de mise ainsi que le mauvais goût à tous les étages, sans parler de la vulgarité et du côté scabreux de bien des situations.
On a tout de même la mignonne Kathy Holmes et la très jolie poupée Sarah Polley pour faire passer la pillule de cette pantalonnade certes bien orchestrée mais qui manque décidément d’intelligence pour exploiter correctement son filon scénaristique.
