GO see it

The title is apt -- the film is on the go most of the time with little chance to catch your breath. This is an odd but entertaining film that can be described as RASHOMON meets PULP FICTION. But it is better than PULP FICTION because of its clearer sense of humor, irony, and coherent story telling.

We get the stories of several people on an very un-Christmasy messy Christmas Eve. Each story is told from someone's perspective and the stories all interconnect at a decidedly un-Christmasy rave full of loud music, drugs, people looking for other people, mistaken identities, and the other ingredients of a wild comedy. Though some people may find it offensive, as a satire and updated film noir, it is hilarious.
