Summary: Marvellous.
Review: Run Lola Run isn't well served on a small TV screen and its energy is diminished when experienced at home, but this is a truly excellent DVD edition.A small criticism is in the chapter-selection screens. Though the division of the film is quite logical, the layout of the pages is quite bad. I also couldn't figure out how to turn off the commentary track after turning it on, forcing me to take out the disc and restart the machine to restore the original audio. But now to the legions of good points. The commentaries by Tom Tykwer and Franka Potente are righteously involving, both director and star eloquent and affectionate about the film. (It's especially amusing to note that they seem reluctant to acknowledge that they are dating.) The technical details Tykwer offers are great for a deeper understand of the execution, and their anecdotes are fun, well phrased, and exciting. Thumbs up to the commentary tracks. There are also biographies on each, subtitle options, and the picture quality is good though, again, if you missed this in the theatres, you didn't quite get the full impact of this movie. Run Lola Run was an enjoyable experience for me at the theatre and, much to my surprise, has grown on me since. Potente's lead performance is Oscar-worthy, emotional at just the right moments and comic and spunky at others. Moritz Bleibtreu is wonderful as the bumbling Manny, and the script is a great innovation. The music-video stylings sometimes detract from the story, but as a whole, it's like a whole new way of seeing the world and, technical innovations aside, the movie is fun, comedically superb, and involving on a human level, a rarity for such a technically oriented film.

Summary: Its all about color, sound, making decisions and fun!
Review: A great film. Lola is a cool, the action is riveting, the music is great, the acting is wonderful and the filming is clever. The DVD is particularly good because there is a great music video featuring Franka Potente and commentary by Franka and Tom Tykwer, the director. Also, only on the DVD can you watch the film with letter box. The last shot of the movie just doesn't work with pan and scan. Enjoy!

Summary: Don't EVEN think you're ready for this!
Review: Wouldn't it be great to be able to depend on American filmmakers to come up with something like this even once in a while? Combining mind-blowing originality with twists and turns that take your breath away, Tom Tykwer has written and directed a tornado of a film that will haunt you for a long time after you experience RUN LOLA RUN. Utilizing an ingenious three-part harmonic idea, he introduces us to the characters and then turns us loose to experience the unfolding drama as Lola must attempt to save her boyfriend from certain doom unless she can come up with a LOT of money in twenty minutes. But you already know that. What you DON'T know is how thoroughly this film will blow you away! Try focusing on anything but the brilliance of this effort as the credits roll by when it's over. Truly original and completely inventive, RUN LOLA RUN is a classic!

Summary: Finally, something original!
Review: Excellent movie. Very surreal. You really don't know what is going on in exactly until about half way through the movie, and for once that's a good thing!

Summary: An 82 minute music video
Review: With all the critics out there praising this movie from beginning to end, I just couldn't help but be a little curious. So I purchased it, hoping that it would at least live up to half the hype. Well, for all it's worth, Lola doesn't lack anything in the style department as promised. The critics weren't kidding when they said it had stunning visuals, a pulse pounding soundtrack, and a pace only a cheetah could catch up with. Unfortunately, it just plays out like an extended MTV music video. The plot starts off interesting and easy enough, but the twist and turns all end in such a predictable and almost rushed way. Almost like the director gave up on the last half of the movie. Sure, I like the whole "cause and effect" feel, but it could've been polished more. To keep it simple, Run Lola Run is a roller coaster ride of a movie with adrenaline pumping speed . Just be forwarned, it's not for everybody.

Summary: original and creative
Review: This is one of the most original movies I have seen in quite some time. The idea of showing 3 different versions of what could have happened is very creative. Somewhat like "Sliding Doors" in that respect, it explores the notion that if something had happened just a little bit differently, everything following could have turned out a completely different way. The performances are very good, the filming style is great, the plot and all its twists are completely original, and the rapid-fire pacing ensures that you'll never get bored. Thoroughly entertaining and recommended!

Summary: LOLA RENNT. 100%
Review: The Night i Saw this film, i made a copy of it the second the credits were over. When it finished dubbing i watched it again. Franka is perfect as Lola, AND she sings the title track. This film to me compares only with 'Being John Malkovich.' 100% EXCELLENT.

Summary: One of the worst I've seen in a while
Review: Complete with a overly loud pulse pounding headache music soundtrack, repetition that makes the movie feel much longer than 80 minutes (I turned this waste of videotape off after the second 'act'), and the paucity of characters and plot (and any sign of brain function), I can't think of a reason to recommend this film for any reason. Perhaps this would have worked as a kid's film, but as is, it is a wasteful mess.

Summary: ...AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
Review: "Run Lola Run" is unlike any other recent movie that's been made in several years( that's a good thing by the way}. However the movie is not different just for the sake of being different. This movie is a completely original and well structured piece of work. The story centers on a small time criminal name Manni who must have 100,000 marks(whatever that is) in 20 minutes or he will die. He contacts his loving girlfriend Lola and as soon as she leaves the door to the apartment the movie rarely slows down. The movie then shows us three alternate and equally entertaining results to the situation. One of the more interesting innovation was the fact that the movie shows us how the lives of seemingly insignificant characters are affected by their run-ins with Lola. By the third time, since these characters are significant, you just don't care. Techno music never sounded more appropriate(I'm not sure that's a good thing) as it is a good companion to the fast and sometimes exhausting pace of the movie. The movie had style to spare and enough substance so that's why I liked it very much.
