Featuring Timothy Olyphant amongst its cast, if you love Pulp Fiction, Snatch, or Intermission, this is a must-see.

Netflix has just added Go, the very fun 1999 crime comedy directed by Doug Liman (American Made, The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow).

Made up of three different interconnected stories, the film begins with two young women (Katie Holmes and Sarah Polley) desperate for cash who get in over their heads. This is after trying to pull off a quick money-making scheme involving a menacing drug dealer (Timothy Olyphant).

The movie then shifts to the tales of a Las Vegas lads' trip (involving Breckin Meyer, James Duval, and Taye Diggs) that goes horrendously wrong, and of two soap opera actors (Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf) busted for drug possession. The latter are coerced by a quirky police detective (the great William Fichtner) to entrap their supplier.

Watch the trailer for Go right here:

While not a big box office hit, Go has developed a huge cult following in the 25 years since its release.

Watching now, it's easy to see why. Liman's direction is energetic and stylish. The script from writer John August (Big Fish) is funny and twisty. The young cast - particularly Holmes, Olyphant and recent Oscar-winner Polley (Women Talking) - have great charisma. The soundtrack is full of insanely catchy '90s tunes.

For those who love the likes of Pulp Fiction, Snatch or Ireland's own crime comedy Intermission, we'd argue that the film is a must-watch.

Go is streaming on Netflix in Ireland and the UK right now.
