There are no two ways about it; Go is a teenage Pulp Fiction. From the divergence from the standard three act script, to the three different stories following characters who are all somewhat familiar with one another, Go, starring William Fichtner, Katie Holmes, Jay Mohr, Sarah Polley and Scott Wolf doesn't even make much of an argument that it is anything other than a teenage Pulp Fiction. Aside from the blatant 'borrowing' of Quentin Tarantino's ideas and script, Doug Liman's (Swingers) second feature is quite entertaining, with scores of unusual and quirky characters throughout its entirety. Fichtner's police officer that has several alterior motives for every action is especially worth watching.
