Summary: one of my favorites
Review: This movie is unlike anything you've ever seen or will ever see again. Lola has 20 minutes to find 100,000 marks to save her boyfriend from the mob. The movie shows three different scenarios and how the smallest thing, such as tripping on the way down the stairs, can effect your entire life. Very cool. Its the only movie I've seen that I can say I notice something new each and every time I watch it. You will not be bored by this movie. Its one of the few movies I've ever seen that can combine action and suspense with an intelligent plot. A must see!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fast, sleek, stylish, fun
Review: I wont spend long talking about this movie, because there isnt much to say. There is one word that can describe this movie well - Original. Movies like this dont come along often.

Thats all Ill say, as im sure other reviews will tell you plenty.

Just letting you all know that theres one more person who loved this movie.

Buy it, and have fun.

Summary: Run, Away, Run!
Review: Although "Run, Lola, Run" is off-beat, has some nice camera work and a few impressive images, I could not develop any interest in any of the characters. Lola's extreme red hair and goofy outfit (blue tank top, white bra straps, turquoise-ish pants, and black Doc Martin boots of all things) were distracting. The "driving music beat" (or however it was described), was fairly boring and repetitive.

The commentary was only slightly more interesting than the movie. The two participants of writer/director Tom and lead actress Franka were a couple at the time, which accounts for the mutual admiration society feel of the commentary.

There may have been a good idea for a movie here, but I could not find it. This is not my least watchable movie (that is either "Black and White" or "Armageddon"), but it is close. I nearly dozed off both times. I will watch it one more time, then try to find someone to give it to who might like it. (Note: Unsuccessful 8 months later).

I give the movie two stars for effort and concept, but I advise you to..."Run, Away, Run"

Summary: Amazing Movie !!!
Review: This movie is amazing and stunning. Everything is so great, including the music. It's the movie that nobody should miss in his/her life.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: You've got to be kidding
Review: Nope, this movie is definitely not worth your time or money--or even my time for a review, but I figured before you might spend money on it, I'd warn you. The movie is 77 minutes, consisting of a story which is repeated twice (i.e. run three times altogether), with different events which modify the ending decidedly in each repeat. The story is stupid, quite simply, and totally confusing. Manni, Lola's boyfriend, is a criminal in need of 100,000 DM (ca. $50,000) because he accidentally left this money (which he was supposed to hand over to his boss) in a subway. Now he's desperate because he know he'll die if he can't get the money within about 20 minutes. Too bad if you're a criminal!

The movie is stupid because there is no explanation to the three parts. You're simply left to yourself to figure out what sense this all makes. In the end, you have seen three movies, so to speak, and then you can choose for yourself which part, which ending, you like best. The movie is totally hectic, jumbled, chaotic, wild, with lots of weird background music, and when you've finished watching, you'll ask yourself, "So what's the point to all of this?" I wish I hadn't listened to those many good reviews when I decided to buy this tape!

Oh well. The best part about the movie is that it's finally over after 77 minutes. A total waste of money and time. Buy something else.

Summary: Exciting and Innovative!!!
Review: I watched "Run Lola Run" for the first time in a film class my Senior year in college. I was completely surprised and impressed by this film. I had heard about it when it was first released, but I never knew what all the excitement was about. Well, I soon discovered it!

This film follows a young woman and her boyfriend as they try to come up with a large sum of money in 20 minutes that is owed to a gangster. What is really cool about this film is that it goes through numerous paths that each person could have taken. Once one storyline is finished, the story starts all over again in a different way. It's very exciting and that excitement is complimented by a pounding techno beat.

I would highly suggest this film to everyone and not just those who study film or are into indie films. I think anyone can enjoy this film because it's filled with so many things that make movies great: love, sex, suspense, pain, and triumph! You won't be disappointed!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great!!!!!!
Review: I have not seen too many forign films. I had to watch this for my video class. I was amazed of how intense this film is. The camera angles are great and the music just makes it more exciting. Even though it stinks to read the subtitles, by the first scene you are [drawn] in and forget that it is in another language. A GREAT FILM

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Edge of your seat

Rating: 5 stars

Review: If you can understand the German dialogue then buy this cool German Dvd it also has english.. I had no problems playing it on my Dvd player! I would Recommend this cool hard to explain type of flick but it is really a shock in your face movie: Hope to see more from this Producer soon!...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The most unlikely scenario . . .
Review: This is a good movie for learning German, since phrases are repeated from scenario to scenario. As for the plot:

Supposedly, the third and final scenario is the true one. However, this is the most unlikely one. Somehow, in a city the size of Berlin, Manni is able to find the same homeless man who has his bag of money, and Lola gambles and wins 100 thousand DM, all in less than 20 minutes. The first two scenarios, in which Lola or Manni resorts to robbery and Manni or Lola is injured, are actually the more likely ones. Perhaps RUN LOLA RUN is poking fun at how neatly things usually turn out in movies.
