Go Limited Edition 4K UHD
Release Date: 28 September 2026

A WEEKEND WASTED IS NEVER A WASTED WEEKEND.

In the wake of Pulp Fiction, Hollywood was quick to embrace a wave of smart, hyperkinetic crime comedies - and few captured the energy of the era better than Swingers director Doug Liman's Go. Written by future Big Fish screenwriter John August, this frenetic cult favorite channels late-90s youth culture into a wild, interconnected ride of drugs, raves and disastrous decisions over one chaotic Christmas weekend.

Desperate for rent money, supermarket clerk Ronna (Sarah Polley, Dawn of the Dead) agrees to broker a drug deal that quickly spirals out of control. Elsewhere, two soap opera actors (Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf) become entangled with an unnervingly friendly narcotics detective (William Fichtner), while a Vegas road trip involving Ronna's coworker Simon (Desmond Askew) erupts into sex, violence and utter mayhem. As the stories collide, every bad choice pushes the night closer to catastrophe.

Stylish, hilarious and relentlessly energetic, Go launched the careers of a plethora of stars, including Timothy Olyphant and Katie Holmes, while cementing Liman as one of the defining cinematic voices of the era - a razorsharp cult classic and an alternative Christmas movie like no other.

Haven’t seen this in a long time but as I recall this is pretty handily the best of the post-Pulp Fiction wannabe Tarantino movies

Saw this once for a college film class, my memory is that the first third with Polley is good, the last third is at least interesting with a fun twist on William Fichtner’s inherent untrustworthiness, and the middle is patience-trying on the back of Mr. Askew’s screen presence. I’m interested to revisit now that this 90s-teen milieu is a favorite of mine. Great opening credits and a good contender for the best No Doubt song, which is more than a lot of movies have.

Wonderful film, though sadly 4K only. I seem to be developing a collection of unwatchable discs that’s going to drive me toward upgrading my gear far sooner that I’d like.
