The recommendation of most critics about the new, low-budget black comedy Go is...."Go!" Janet Maslin in the New York Times writes that director-cinematographer Doug Liman "creates a film that lives up to the momentum of its title." Liam Lacey in the Toronto Globe & Mail uses the admittedly square word "tickled" to describe his response to the film, which he calls a "nasty, witty, cheerfully disaster-prone comedy." Kenneth Turan in the Los Angeles Times concludes: "Go is perfectly titled: Exhilarating and sharp, it never stops for a second." Rod Dreher in the New York Post writes: "Hipster filmmaker Doug Liman's breakneck, raucous and thoroughly exhilarating Go is flat-out the best thing I've seen all year." Virtually all of the reviews compare the film with Quentin Tarrantino's Pulp Fiction. In fact, Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times writes: "I'm not saying Go couldn't have been made without the example of Pulp Fiction, but it can't be seen without thinking of it." And Jay Carr in the Boston Globe comments that "Pulp Fiction wannabes don't get much slicker or edgier than Go." |
