Go 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman September 24, 2026

Swingers is getting some perhaps unexpected "reflected glory" with two new(ish) releases, Lionsgate Limited's recently reviewed Made 4K, a film which repaired Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn from the earlier outing, and Go, whose cover key art overtly mentions it's directed by Swingers' helmsman Doug Liman. Go had a long ago 1080 release (in 2009!) from Sony (see below for a review link) in an edition which seems to be, well, going for quite a bit of scratch nowadays, and so this new 4K edition (which does not include a 1080 disc) may be of special interest to the film's fans.

As mentioned above, Go had a 1080 release courtesy of Sony way back in 2009, and Martin Liebman's Go Blu-ray review provides plot information, a list of supplements, and a reaction to the technical presentation.

Go 4K Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

Note: This release does not include a 1080 Blu-ray, so these screenshots are taken directly from the 4K UHD disc and downscaled to 1080 and SDR. Color space in particular is therefore not accurate, and I recommend those interested to look at some of the screenshots Marty's 1080 review, linked to above, for a probably better representation of the palette. Since this release does not include a 1080 disc, the 2K video score above has been intentionally left blank.

Go is presented in 4K UHD courtesy of Arrow Video with an HEVC / H.265 encoded 2160p transfer in 2.39:1. Arrow's insert booklet offers the following information about the presentation:

Go is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with 5.1 audio. The film is presented in 4K resolution in HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

Go was restored by Sony Pictures Entertainment. 4K scanning and digital restoration from the original 35mm picture negative were completed by Prasad Corporation, India. English 5.1 audio restoration and conform were completed by Sony Pictures Post Media Center, Culver City. HDR color correction was completed at Roundabout, Santa Monica by colorist Christian Lamie and approved by Director Doug Liman.

This restoration was supervised by Bill Karydes, Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Marty wasn't overly enthusiastic about the now ancient 1080 presentation offered by Sony itself back in the "Dark Ages" of early high definition, but his mention of a "drab palette" may not pertain quite as saliently to this new presentation, one which achieves some significant "pop" courtesy of its HDR / Dolby Vision grades, at least in some of the hyperkinetic club or party adjacent material which is often slathered in various lighting regimens ranging from cobalt blues to crimson reds. Otherwise, though, Marty's comments are certainly representative of more "normal" vignettes, including several in the grocery store and even surrounding outdoor material, a lot of which can look kind of dowdy and brown. As Marty also mentions in his review of the 1080 presentation, grain is very heavy at times, and can spike at kind of peculiar moments, including various shots in the grocery store where for some reason certain shots are almost overrun with a thick, almost scrim like, grain field. That said, there's an appealingly organic look to the presentation that is perhaps appropriately "gritty" given some of the characters and plot machinations.

Go 4K Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality 

Go offers a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track in the place of the old Sony 1080 disc's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 offering. As Marty mentions in his review, the film is awash with bass heavy thumping music, and both diagetic score and underscore offer some of the most appealing surround activity, with music virtually pummeling the listener from the side and rear channels at times. Some of the chaotic partying also provides background clamor which nicely engages the surround channels. Dialogue is also presented cleanly and clearly throughout. Optional English subtitles are available.

Go 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Note: While Marty's review is old enough it doesn't "list" supplements the way we tend to now, it does provide a descriptive paragraph of some of the previously released supplements. This release does not include the music videos Marty details, nor does it have the now seemingly quaint "BD Live" technology.

• Audio Commentaries

Commentary by Bryan Reesman & Max Evry




Commentary by Doug Liman & Stephen Mirroine

• From the Word Go (HD; 21:54) is a new interview with screenwriter, co-producer and second unit director (what, no craft services?) John August.


• A View Askew (HD; 20:41) is a new interview with Desmond Askew (one assumes with apologies to Kevin Smith).


• Making of Featurette (HD; 6:22)


• Deleted Scenes (HD; 25:16) are obviously upscaled from a pretty shoddy interlaced source and have insanely large timecode captions.


• God (HD; 11:23) is a short film from John August which utilized the short ends of film stock from the production of Go. This stars Melissa McCarthy and is enjoying its first release in high definition on this disc. This has an optional commentary track. The title might jokingly suggest "what a difference a letter makes".


• Theatrical Trailer (HD; 2:27)


• Image Gallery (HD; 2:21) is authored to auto advance, so have the pause button on your remote handy if you want to linger on any given image.

Arrow's insert booklet offers two interesting essays by David Michael Brown and Michelle Kisner, along with some original production notes. The keepcase sleeve is reversible, and packaging also features a slipcover.

Go 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

As Marty (and many others) mentioned in his review, comparisons to Pulp Fiction are probably inevitable here, but the film also may echo other "multi character intersecting story" outings like Magnolia. Technical merits are solid, and Arrow has provided a good supply of interesting supplements. Recommended.
