Frenetic, audaciously structured and plot-heavy, packed with enough incident for at least three films.

An original and funny movie that leaves us marvelling at the weak sense of right and wrong each character possesses.

The writing is go. The performances are go. The film flows like greased go. You don't watch the movie; you go with it. Go, go, go, go and go.

Takes off somewhere around Mach 3 and never lets up, leaving you with either a pounding headache or a wicked grin, or perhaps both.

Liman's sophomore effort is breathtaking, with a great soundtrack to help drive the action.

It's a fresh, bang-for-your-buck kind of movie. Parents will hate it.

Possibly the most sheer fun you'll have at a movie all year, but be warned: Go's narcotic rush proves addictive.

There's a certain perverse appeal to seeing this bunch get their just deserts.
