Summary: A Brilliant, Ecclectic Thriller
Review: Run Lola Run is alot like "Sliding Doors" only extremely better.
It features three different scenarios all following the same girl Lola, who must get 100,000 marks for her boyfriend Manni in 20 minutes, or else he will be killed. As Lola runs through the streets of Berlin to an amazing techno soundtrack (which I highly recommend) she passes by people in brief moments,which show a short series of shots describing the rest of their lifes with no words. In the first two scenarios, in which the outcome is tragic, both Lola and Manni seemingly freeze time, then it starts all over again. The film explains how things could happen differently, depending on what a person does, this proven by how the outcome of each scenario is different, and how the people Lola ecounters' lifes are different in each scenario. Some of the best parts are when Lola screams, shattering glass, and silencing everyone around her. The last scenario, which has the best outcome, is obviously the one people would choose to end the movie, however a question remains. Which scenario really did happen and which two are simply theory? The film also gives a good example of the multiple worlds theory, which suggests that everytime a person makes a choice, a new world is created where everything is the same, except the choice the made and its consequences. This proposes that all the scenarios did happen, except in different places with different outcomes, judging Lola's and those around her's choices. The film has a very interesting beginning, with shadowy figures walking around in a crowd, while a mysterious voice asks philisophical questions along with appearences by the people Lola runs by in the movie At first it does not make sense, but after the movie is over, one gains a better understanding of how the beginning fits into the rest of the movie. The greatest German movie I've ever seen, any fan of good films should see it, and if they like it as much as I did, buy it.

Summary: RUN!...to the store and rent this. Get it? Its a pun.
Review: If you are a fan of sappy, uninspiring Hollywood crap like Titanic or The Wedding Planner or anything starring Freddie Prinze Jr., you shouldn't see Run Lola Run. Or maybe you should see it. Maybe it will straighten some of you morons out. Look, I am not a big fan of indie movies or European films. I don't even really like Europeans. But Lola is a movie that everyone should see. I was hesitant to see it myself at first, but don't worry. It isn't a girl power movie and it's not some sick German sex fetish movie. The film is essentially simple in plot and in message, yet it is nonetheless riviting and thought provoking. It is a pleasant change of pace from the run-of-the-mill American film. By straying from convention, the film is able to explore many different elements of life, most notably time. Time is the real protaganist in the film and is always in the forefront. Time is made more evident by the ostinato German techno-house soundtrack. This is one of the few drawbacks to the movie. I may start liking that techno crap if I watch the movie enough. Then I'll start going to techno clubs and raves and develop an addiction to ecstasy. But back to the movie. I can't say much for the acting since I watched the English dubbed version. But the voice over actors were quite good. Just do yourself a favor. Next time you feel compelled to see the latest Travolta disaster, stop yourself, think of my review, and go watch Run Lola Run.

Summary: An exhilirating ride!
Review: Run Lola Run would have to be one of my all time favourite movies. It is one of the most innovative, and original movies I have ever come across. I could never really tolerate euro-techno until I rented this DVD. The music was composed by talented director/writer Tom Tywker and performed by his leading lady (on- and off screen) Franka Potente, who is brilliant and charismatic as Lola. The story is simple: Lola has 20 minutes to
make up for the loot lost by his hapless boyfriend Manni or Manni will be killed. There are three alternatives to the story, each detailing how one's actions could have consequences on others who cross their path. Many have compared this to other what-if flicks such as "Sliding Doors". But this film benefits from not having a terribly self-conscious Gwyneth Paltrow having another bad attempt at a British accent.
The movie is fast, euroccentric, and you wouldn't believe that you'd been staring at the screen for 90-minutes. More exciting than a soccer match.

Summary: A VERY COOL MOVIE!!!
Review: I waited a little while to see this movie, but it was worth it. I didn't even know what it was about!!!ahaha, but that's NOT THE POINT!!! I DON'T think I need to tell you the plot since the editorial review explains it perfectly well, but rather say that if you have doub that this is indeed a GOOD MOVIE, see it yourslef, sit back relax and *enjoy* the ride, it might get a little bumpy!!! This is a good foreign film, the dubbings okay, could be better, but it doesn't distract from it. If you HATE dubbing you can *always* get the Sub-titles version!!!

God Bless ~Amy

Summary: simply Wonderful
Review: I just watched this film on IFC and I can't believe it! The whole thing is just brilliant. I rarely review films because I love them so much I usually have too much to say about this or that, but I will try to keep it to a minimum:

The concept is is one people have seen before: someone is in trouble, and the main character needs to save them. However, this is the best, and I mean the best interpretation of the concept I have ever seen.

The direction is excellent. Everything is paced the way you want the film paced without even knowing in a conscious way that's the way it should be. In essence, the film is intuitively guided.

Editing is incredible in this film. The best I have seen for a long time, and reminicient without being repetitive of films by Guy Ritchie and Quentin Terantino.

Acting is marvelous here. Franka Potente not only captures amazing emotion, she is able to catch the viewer's imagination.

The music is really wonderful, complimenting the movie without being intrusive.

If you have read this far, I want to tell you two more things. 1)This is really the best film I have seen in quite a while. 2)I can't remember the last time I had this kind of fun watching a film.

Summary: SIMPLY AMAZING
Review: This film was simply amazing. The suspense is both surreal and totally real. The techno soundtrack is a seemless part of the story. Lola is both sexy and liberating. A truely stunning german film.

Summary: "Run" Out and Buy This DVD
Review: Run Lola Run is sort of like a work of art, as far as movies go. The movie has three separate storylines. I myself, think that this movie would be better with only one, but oh well...that's not the way it is. Lola is sexy in a strange kind of way with her red hair and everything. This movie is worth owning just to look at Lola! This movie would be better too if it wasnt so badly dubbed in English. All in all it is a good movie and I recommend it for anyones collection. The soundtrack is good as well.
