Comedy. Thriller All the story sets in L.A. and Las Vegas in a 24-hour period sometime between Christmas and New Year's.

	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A keenly observed comedy. Do not pass 'Go' if you want to see the real goods in blossoming talent (...) 'Go' is a wildly entertaining ride through the night, but it is the hilarious and heartfelt performances of Holmes and Polley that trigger an emotional response"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Entertaining and clever. Liman is a talented director. 'Go' has energy and wit, and the performances are right for the material (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Todd McCarthy Variety	"[It] is an overly calculated concoction that nonetheless delivers a pretty good rush. Doug Liman’s second feature reps a notable advance stylistically over his enjoyable low-budget debut, 'Swingers'"
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Derivative as it is, 'Go' has a powerful personality of its own (...) [Liman] creates a film that lives up to the momentum of its title and doesn't really need much more. "
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"'Go' offers its own version of 'Pulp Fiction's mind-bending narrative playfulness (...) More than anything, Liman does extraordinary work with his dazzling young cast"
		Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Sly, verbally hip and visually jazzy, the movie is sure to resonate with its target audience. It's good to 'Go'."
