" Bad boy emeritus Quentin Tarantino has suffered some backlash for spawning a generation of sprightly shaggy-dog stories about inept criminality. But a movie like Go, the second theatrical feature from Swingers director Doug Liman, demonstrates just how reliable a template Pulp Fiction&amp;#039;s erstwhile innovations have become. Go is enjoyable, mainly because a lot of bright young acting talent gets to cut up and get down. As a heroine whose vulnerability is touching just because it would never cross her mind to act frail, Sarah Polley (The Sweet Hereafter) is terse and winning; Katie Holmes (Dawson&amp;#039;s Creek) is all googly-eyed confusion as Polley&amp;#039;s bewildered but game, placidly trashy sidekick. Newcomer Desmond Askew is very funny, playing a type that anyone who&amp;#039;s hung out on Hollywood Boulevard will recognize--one of those giddy Brits who see no important differences between Disneyland and the rest of the country--while inexplicably not-yet-famous Jay Mohr (Tom Cruise&amp;#039;s finky foil in Jerry Maguire) puts a new spin on his specialty of treating cynicism as one form of zest for life. Smart turns from alarming-faced William Fichtner (Contact&amp;#039;s blind scientist) as a policeman with strange passions and hunk-with-brains Taye Diggs (How Stella Got Her Groove Back) as Askew&amp;#039;s grumbling rescuer add two more reminders that indies have made this a great age for gifted performers whose easy naturalism is thus far unafflicted by star showboating.
