: Go
Author: John August
Director: Doug Liman
I didn’t know what to expect from this movie. Turns out it’s a series of vingettes about the violent, crime-filled lives of a group of people one Christmas weekend. We get to see the same events from several perspectives, which is interesting, though repetetive. These people are not ones you’d want to hang around with, however. They are crude, desperate, and disgusting. Basically bad things happen to everyone, but since you don’t really care for anyone, it’s mildly entertaining. There are some interesting twists. In many ways this reminded me of 2 Days in the Valley except with teenagers. That was a better film, however. Go is a third-generation copy, though it has a good soundtrack. Like all vingette films, this one suffers from unevenness. I guess I don’t quite see the point of such a technique. It’s always an interesting concept, but it never quite works. Still, this wasn’t boring. Rentable. Two thumbs sideways.
