Summary: Fantastic and fast paced
Review: Great movie, short and fun to watch. (Although I got tired of the running bit, I got it, she runs.) Overall, this movie was just fantastic. If you want something different, this is it. (Beware, it has subtitles)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MUST SEE
Review: One of the most fun movies to watch, ever!!! It's really clever in the new approach it takes to time mixing (as seen in sliding doors, memento, etc.). It may not be the most insightful or deep but it's just plain awesome. Four thumbs up (my feet got excited and decided to jump in).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Astounding
Review: This film is unique, energetic, exciting, and enthralling. It presents a deep viewpoint in an outrageous way. The film is about a woman who, in an attempt to save her boyfriend's life, runs around trying to find alot of money. When I heard this description, I was a little hesitant about the quality of the film; when I say it though, I was amazed. The themes and situations that occur are truly unique. I would definitely recommend this film

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved it
Review: I thought it was good, I was considering on wether or not I should rate it a 5 or a 4. A 5 because I thought it was cool, different, and interesting, but possibly a 4 because once or twice in the movie I said I was bored, but it was only at the scenes where it was repeating itself and nothing new happened. Besides that I thought the changes were interesting, the way of filming was cool (and the music), and different because I haven't seen one of these different scenario ending type movies since Clue where the killer would change at the end. It got me mad because some people were giving it 1s and it definately doesn't deserve a 1, at least a 2, even if you didn't like it because the I can understand why some don't like it, but it's not a 1. So I would at least rent this before buying because people have different like and dislikes, but you should definately rent it, you'd be surprised at how bad the preview for this movie looked... but after I saw it I liked it. So don't judge this movie on the preview which just had a bunch of running, screaming, and shooting scenes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lola Rennt! Definitely worth owning.
Review: I bought Run Lola Run on a whim, and instantly became a fan of Franka Potente (Lola) and Tom Tykwer (Director/Writer). Lola is an amazing story of just how far we will go, and how hard we will try for those we love. The film is constantly in motion, as Lola has 20 minutes to get 100,000 DM$ or her boyfriend Manny's life will be in jeopardy. The 81 minute film covers these twenty minutes, and does so in a very interesting way. I became so immersed in the film, that I began to forget the characters were speaking in German. There is also an English dub available, but the German sountrack is superior. The image on the DVD is excellent, and the commentary is also worth a listen. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic and breath-taking
Review: Every now and then, a great foreign film makes its way across the pond. And films like "Run Lola Run" makes me wonder how many other great foreign films we're missing out on because Hollywood is unwilling to distribute them to American audiences. Of course, there's also the minor fact that, until recently, few Americans were willing to give subtitled films a chance.

"Run Lola Run" is a masterpiece. Combine the look of Madonna's "Ray of Light" music video, and the inter-twined subplots of "Pulp Fiction" and you get a basic feel of what to expect from Lola. The soundtrack fits the film like a glove, doing for Lola what say, a John Williams soundtrack does for a Spielberg film. You owe it to yourself to run, not walk, and check this film out in its original German (down with dubbing!) ... wide screen if possible.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: Every now and than you'll find a movie that you cannot get out of your mind, and Run Lola Run is one of them. It is one of the fastest 81 min. movie I sat through.

There are a few movies that will hit you right, and Run Lola Run had me jumping up, dancing, and yelling at the T.V. needless to say that this movie did hit me right...LOL!! I thought the acting, sound ( please view it in German, the english track is off), music ( get the sound track it is incredible), editing, and picture were all good.

Because of this film, I have become a fan of Tom Tykwer, and the lovely Franka Potente. Tom Tykwer is a interesting directer. After I seen this movie, I went out and found the only other movie I can get by him called: Winter Sleepers. By far is was nothing like Run Lola Run, but is shows that he can do fast action movies as well as slow moving movies. Winter Sleepers is good for its kind of movie, I really enjoyed it; but not as much as Run Lola Run. I only wish I could see his other movie The Princess and the Warrior, but I guess I have to wait for that on dvd as well. Franka Potente, what a catch! She can act, sing, and speek three to four languages...WOW!! I have been finding movies she has been playing in, and buying them! I cannot wait to get Blow, I believe that is her first English speeking movie. Do I have to say she was Great in Run Lola Run? YES, She was just wonderfull in it. I cannot wait to see it again here soon, however, I just have one complaint about the movie.

The only thing I didn't like about the dvd: "why did they copy the movie on both sides of the disk?" May be they did not know how at the time to print both stander, and widescreen on the same side at the time. I just cannot stand having dvd's with both sides printed on it.

Anyways

I only wish I watched this movie when it came out, but now that I have. I would very much like other people see this movie, because Run Lola Run is a great movie to see again and again. Please pick up this movie, you'll love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is a must
Review: this movie is like art. well-planned scenes and very sofisticated camera shots makes it a very beautiful movie. this is one of those must-have's that should belong among those classic movies that never fade with time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny!
Review: This movie made me laugh harder than most movies I've seen in recent memory.

I'm currently learning German, and in this movie I could not hear certain words said. And other times, words are spoken so quickly it was hard for me to understand.

Despite these things, this movie has one additional thing: Heart.

The things that "lola" will do to save her boyfriend.. Hahahaha!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alternate History in a Can
Review: Run Lola Run is absolutly one of the best movies i have seen. The art concepts and character is amazing. Just the way the video is created using narative, live action, simple animation, series photography, and various video techniques (including: profesional video quality, a home video camera, and various render effects). The actors are also some of the best actors i have seen, and it depicts german city culture/underground very well. This film is an emotional rollercoaster that no one should miss, foreign film fan or otherwise.
