Review
Machine-translated from Danish.
Go is an energetic and episodic youth film set in a hectic rave scene. The film takes turns focusing on some of the young protagonists and their wild experiences over a single 24 hours. Three times the story starts over from a new character's point of view.
Ronna, who works as a checkout girl, has been dipping into the till, and now she desperately needs $400 so that she won't be fired. Without a great deal of experience she throws herself into drug dealing, as there is easy money to be made there, but there are also many pitfalls.
Ronna's colleagues also have an eventful evening. Simon, for instance, who goes out on the town in Las Vegas. There he ends up shooting a bouncer in the arm, and then he is in trouble.
Go takes virtually no stance on the drugs and the young people's shady morals, but the film is not entirely unintelligent, and one senses a greater ambition. At any rate, the film's characters are far from the usual stereotypes.
