Summary: RUN LOLA RUN IS A RUNAWAY SMASH HIT!
Review: Ok, I'm not going to waste your time, You know the plot, boyfriend loses 100,000 dollars and must replace it in 20 mins, and the only one that can help him is his gal LOLA. What you don't know is that this flick is one of the best of the year. I have been searching for movies like this for years. This flick is one where the action truly does not stop. The plot is very good, and moves so rapidly that it's sometimes blinding to keep up with the subtitles. Most of all I think this flick will impress many because of the balance it attains in all things. It's got a great soundtrack, good stars (Lola is pretty cute), and great plot to keep you hooked and it's visually stunning. That and the fact that an old buddy of mine Karol Chareza has a part in the flick, he's the guy with the sunglasses that is in the passenger seat of the totalled white bmw! WAY TO GO! GUY RIGHT ON ! Sorry had to say it. Now back to the movie. I rented this flick on a whim, I read the back of the box and it sounded quite interesting, even though I've never heard it before. I've been wrong on my instincts before, but I've never been more right than this one. I hope to one day accomplish the feat that has been created through this movie, a high energy movie that can relate to anyone and jumps across many cultural barriers in the process. This is the best foreign movie of the year, hands down. Action packed, hilarious, and downright rockin ! Do yourself a favor and pick this one up as soon as possible ! YOu won't regret it ! Lates, Rajah Dolemite! PS: Way to go Karol ! You're going to be a superstar! Shoutout to Donnie Garbs!

The film is set to the backdrop of Berlin which the director shoots beautifully. The idea is fresh and unique and the effect is achieved quite well. The soundtrack is apporpriate, and the scenes well coreographed. this is definetely one of the best movies of 1999. Run Lola Run is a superb movie putting Germany back on the map of exquisite filmmaking countries. i hope to see more great exports soon!

Summary: Incredible.
Review: What a fantastic movie! Truly riveting, as the tiniest details in the action proved to have colossal significance. Even so, the action kept up at a maniacal pace without so much as faltering. I was left as breathless as Lola by the end.

Summary: Lots of form, and lots of fun....
Review: Not quite sure what was going on here....kinda reminded me of a cross between Groundhog Day and the multiple-endings in "Clue", but fun nonetheless. Very energetic film that FLIES by! This DVD edition features and English soundtrack, as well as the German soundtrack, and the english subtitles can be turned on if you are a purist watching the German-language version. Also, the disc is two-sided, one side being full-screen, the other being letterbox.

Summary: BE SELFISH AND ANTISOCIAL.
Review: This film made my heart stop. I subconsciously held my breath in parts, for fear of disturbing its incredible movement and beauty. What an innovative succession of events! Just when you think it's over, Lola stuns you again. Watch this film ALONE. Pay attention. The first experience is key.

Summary: Excellent Film!
Review: I would give this film ten stars if I could. I loved this movie. It was a fast-paced, non-stop, emotional romp that captured the gamut of emotions from A to Z! I can tell whether a movie is truly excellent if it can make me cheer for the characters--I was jumping up and down in excitement for these characters! Lola has one hefty set of lungs which she regularly uses to her advantage, and I would have screamed along with her. One important aspect of this movie was definitely the soundtrack. The driving rhythms of the techno beat really added a certain nuance to the movie. There definitely would have been a lot missing from the movie had the techno music not been a major part. Another very important part of the movie was the inclusion of excerpts from Charles Ives' "The Unanswered Question," a monumental piece of classical music. It added a very nice existential touch to the movie, referring to the unanswered question of life. In a way, "The Unanswered Question" was the heart of the film, acting as an interlude between life and death for Lola and Manni and making them re-evaluate themselves and each other, finding out what is most important to both of them. The other characters in the film serve as ordinary people that either play major or minor parts to the cacophony that surrounds Lola and Manni. Lola's father plays the indifferent, two-timing parent perfectly, and everyone else is cast very strong as well. Franka Potente is superb, enough said, and Moritz Bleibtreu is effective as well, portraying a confused and desperate man caught in a bad situation. Wonderful acting, wonderful dialogue, wonderful action, and wonderful music combine for a wonderful movie!

Summary: Run From Lola Run...
Review: I have not rented the dvd version of Run Lola Run (only VHS). All I can say is God help us if there are more alternate twists and endings ! The one scene I cannot get out of my head is the one where Lola walks her father out of the bank at gunpoint; The scene was very reminiscent of Point of No Return with Bridgette Fonda where Fonda's character is "escorting" Gabriel Byrne at gunpoint out of the training compound.Actress Franka Potente's character Lola has an uncanny resemblance to Fonda's character as well. I, too, enjoy looking at foreign films for their originality and freshness. Yet, sometimes they lack a certain finesse or refined technical quality that most North American or U.S. films possess. I don't know if it's the lack of technology or filming budget. It may be intentional to give it that European artistic and gritty nuance. The performance by Franka Potente was believable ( young and desperate). The actor who plays Manni (Lola's boyfriend) is also credible ( incompetent and uneasy). Yet, I have no idea why there's animation thrown in with cetain scenes. The only quality I like about the movie was it's simple story (or stories) and characters. Otherwise, this is one independent foreign film I can do without--No matter what any professional film critic or European Cannes Film festival connoisseur says !
