Rating: 2/4 --
Once Olmos joins the proceedings, "Go For Sisters" begins to resemble a banal prime-time cop show.

Washington Post
Rating: 3/4 --
For a good while, writer-director John Sayles tricks you into thinking Go for Sisters is a crime thriller. But the movie turns out to be something different.
Miami Herald
Few male writer-directors have explored female characters more ardently than John Sayles (Passion Fish, Sunshine State, Casa de los Babys), and this leisurely mystery features some of his best.

Chicago Reader
Even the smallest of the many roles in the cast has some telling detail, and Olmos makes the most of a grumpy bear rousted from his hiding place.

Rating: B- --
Sayles' original screenplay uses the broken criminal justice and immigration systems as a backdrop for its story, never pushing a political agenda at the expense of its human one.

Rating: 7/10 --
It's Hamilton and Ross' incredible on-screen partnership that makes Go For Sisters a solid success for the indie maverick.

Way Too Indie
Go For Sisters prefers the roads less traveled - only in a Sayles film would a car chase be interrupted for a stop for gas - and for those that enjoy the scenic route, it's an bumpy yet agreeable ride.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Bernice (LisaGay Hamilton) and Fontayne (Yolonda Ross) grew so close people said they could go for sisters, but time sent them down different paths. Twenty years later, those paths cross: Fontayne is a recovering addict fresh out of jail, and Bernice is her new parole officer. When Bernice's son Rodney goes missing on the Mexican border, his shady associates all in hiding or brutally murdered, Bernice realizes she needs someone to navigate Rodney's world without involving the police, and turns to her old friend. The pair enlist the services of disgraced ex-LAPD detective Freddy Surez (Edward James Olmos) and plunge into the dim underbelly of Tijuana, forced to unravel a complex web of human traffickers, smugglers, and corrupt cops before Rodney meets the same fate as his partners.
