Go
Go
Told from three perspectives, a story of a bunch of young Californians trying to get some cash, do and deal some drugs, score money and sex in Las Vegas, and generally experience the rush of life.

Go encapsulated the best elements of my 90s guilty pleasure films while minimizing the cringe. Everything about it triggers my 90s nostalgia from the cool trip-hop soundtrack, to the grunge/slacker fashion styles, the teenage angst and nihilism, and even down to their dubious decision making and drugs of choice.
It's an adrenaline boosting, high octane ride with lots of dark humor littered throughout kind of like an American version of a Gus Van Saint film but with less repercussions in the aftermath. Go also utilizes parallel converging storylines but it's done in a way that's clear and highly accessible. It has strong, bold characters and the dialogue contains lots of sardonic wit. Overall this makes for a film that I think offers a high entertainment value and avoids any hints of a sober bummer comedown, which I believe usually makes for a highly replayable combination. I can see myself reaching for this film whenever I get a 90s itch as much as my favorites like Cruel Intentions and The Faculty.
