Go

"Columbia TriStar has given Go, Doug Liman's electrifying second feature, the full treatment on this excellent special edition DVD. It features an interesting feature-length commentary from director Liman and editor Stephen Mirrione, who discuss many of the technical aspects of filming and tell entertaining stories from the production. Several conversations focus on the chaotic style of filmmaking used, which hearkens back to Liman's days working on independent films. This disc also includes 14 deleted scenes that vary from different versions of existing moments to completely new scenes. They are presented in a poor widescreen format that is incomplete and misses some sound effects and dialogue. Contemporary music fans will enjoy the three music videos by No Doubt, Len, and Phillip Stair with Steppenwolf. A less worthwhile addition is a six-minute featurette encapsulating the basic plot of the story in a dull promotional format. Go offers viewers a choice between full-screen and widescreen formats. The 2.35:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer on this disc has vibrant colors throughout, especially in the Las Vegas scenes. But it contains a surprising level of grain that lessens the clarity level of the movie. The full-frame transfer contains a clear picture, but it suffers from the spatial limitations of pan-and-scan versions. The 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack blares across the sound field with techno beats and the upbeat rock songs from the soundtrack, adding to the energy of the film. The disc also contains 28 chapter cues and the option of English subtitles."
