Three stars

Go

(Columbia TriStar)

Doug Liman's second film is takes place on Christmas Eve and offers three versions of the same events in the lives of porcelain-pretty-but-tough-as-nails Ronna (Sarah Polley), an 18-year-old supermarket checkout clerk who needs rent money; her obnoxious British co-worker Simon (a feral Desmond Askew); and two charming strangers, Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr), out to score some ecstasy from Ronna, who enlists the help of strait-laced Claire (Katie Holmes) and drug-addled Mannie (Nathan Bexton). Liman shows that he's got style and intelligence, but without the passion he showed in Swingers, he's all dressed up with nowhere to go.
