Go is directed by Doug Liman and stars Sarah Polley,
Desmond Askew, Scott Wolf, Katie Holmes, Jay Mohr, William
Fichtner and Jane Krakowski ***
Go is the story of 3 circles of friends whose paths
cross as the result of a drug deal that in some way involves
all of them. It isn’t long before they end up in the midst
of things over their heads, and all hell breaks loose. ***
Go is a difficult movie to describe because there is
nothing else quite like it. It’s an entertaining story told
from multiple points of view – and while that is certainly
nothing new, the movie’s direction, writing and approach
to the subject matter guarantee that it will be an entertaining
experience. ***
Perhaps the best part about Go is the fact that we
get the same story told from 3 different points of view.
Yes, we’ve seen this before. But there is no denying that
director Doug Liman succeeds in creating something all his
own. Each segment that comprises the film feels like its
own unique, practically stand-alone product, and yet they
all come together nicely in the end. The performances complement
the direction and writing beautifully. The cast of this
film is seriously underrated and there isn’t a weak performance
in the entire movie. ---
Image and Sound:
Go gets a good Blu-Ray transfer that beautifully shows
off what the filmmakers were going for. The film generally
has a dull, drab color pallet throughout – but detail is
strong. Film grain is visible in nearly every shot, but
is never a distraction. The lossless audio track is the
real surprise on this disc – giving a newfound sense of
ambience that older versions of the movie were so desperately
lacking. Ultimately, Go looks and sounds excellent in 1080p.
