...Even more fun than being absorbed into a stimulating, decadent world of sex, drugs and No Doubt's fluffed up version of rock 'n' roll is Sarah Polley, who really makes Go the success that it is. Polley indulges in 18-year-old Ronna's predicament, which blossoms from the opportunity to make some much-needed rent money off a drug deal while her friend Simon (Desmond Askew), a supermarket co-worker and the usual middle man, is out of town. Conveying Ronna's sly confidence in the temporary world of criminal mischief is Polley's ultimate strength. Her character...

...Secondary to the main subplots of the movie, but certainly a unifying character, is Todd (Timothy Olyphant). He has many relationships: Simon's friend and provider, Ronna's drug connection, the ultimate target of the police sting and the object of Claire's budding sexual interest. Olyphant's Todd is sinister and alluring, the embodiment of a bad boy who can be both repelling and difficult to resist. Second only to Polley, Olyphant is a stand-out on screen...
