Good to Go

About This Movie

Good to Go is this gritty slice of '80s cinema that really digs into the underbelly of Washington D.C.'s Go-Go scene. The pacing has that raw, almost chaotic energy that really mirrors the club atmosphere. The journalist protagonist is jaded but determined, navigating through layers of corruption and racial tensions that are just as relevant today. The performances hit hard, especially when combined with the pulsating music that almost feels like a character in itself. It's not just about crime; it’s about the environment that breeds it. The film's practical effects and the way it captures the nightlife give it a distinctive edge, making it stand out in the crime thriller genre. It's a bit rough around the edges, but that’s part of its charm.

Gritty portrayal of 1980s D.C. nightlife. · Explores themes of racism and societal neglect. · Distinctive soundtrack that enhances the narrative.
