Summary: pure style with maximum punch !
Review: Let's face it, this movie rocks ! Anyone with any idea on the craft of movie making can see this was the most original film of 99 if not the decade (along with The Matrix). The DVD only enhances it more.The music, the pace and the skillfull editing requires multiple viewing. No question about it,this is the best foreign film ever made.

Summary: The reason to watch foreing movies.
Review: If you have seen Black Mask and Run Lola Run, then you will know where they got the ideas for The Matrix; and both movies were made before The Matrix. I rented the DVD and I'm going to buy both the CD Soundtrack and the movie!

Summary: All style, no substance
Review: There are so many good things in this movie that I really wish that I could've liked it more. But, as it is, it felt like the cinematic equivalent of a video game. If you really do want to spend 80 minutes watching some chick running then I'd suggest waiting for the next Olympics. For a German movie with some depth, rent anything by Fassbinder, Herzog or Wenders.

Summary: What a waste!
Review: "What a waste of money! " These words demonstrate my exact reaction after watching this movie which I have regrettably purchased on DVD. Excited to have a new DVD player, I bought this DVD after reading the many great reviews about the movie. Now I'm extremely puzzled. Why so much praise for this flick? It is anything but interesting: the story is childish and shallow and the much talked about cinematography and the music are nothing more than cheap attempts to decorate the silly plot. For those of you who want to buy the movie, rent it first! If you are not a fad-driven kid who actually thinks MTV is a music television and Jewel a poet, then you'll surely dislike it. There are no philosophical ideas here. The mere fact that this movie is considered to be "thought provoking" may be a testament to the reality that perhaps we are not thinking much.

Summary: A Perfect Film
Review: I dont think I can actually say enough about this movie to tell you how fantastic and perfectly grand it was to watch. I think having over 50 customer reviews with an average 5 star rating says it all! I bought the movie just off the basis of my friends reviews, and now the movie is on my top ten list of the best movies I have seen. The cinematography, the plot, the music, the actors....all were excellent. I couldn't find a single flaw or even a "they should have done this..." This one is just too good to miss.

Summary: What a Cool Movie!
Review: Wow! What a cool movie! I won't write a plot description because you can read it elsewhere but the concept is great, how minute changes in circumstances can create very different outcomes in life. When you take your next walk in the city or around your neighborhood, think about if you took a different turn than you decide on would you possibly bump in to someone that would totally change your life? That's what this is about. And that doesn't even mention the inventive direction and terrific performances. Check this one out. AVailable in dubbed or subtitles.

Summary: Stellar perfomances:
Review: I'm usually a big fan of Moritz Bleibtreu, anyway, but he was totally overshadowed by the dazzling perfomance of Franka Potente in this film. As a friend said, "I could watch that red hair in the wind for days". This is a beautiful film.

Summary: Clearly the best movie of 1999.
Review: 1999 was a good year for the movies. The Sixth Sense, the Blair Witch Project, American Beauty. Oh, yes, there was this little German film that few had heard of before the Sundance festival: LOLA RENNT (English title: RUN LOLA RUN).Directed by Tom Twyker, whose past releases in this reviewers opinion aren't really notable, and starring Franka Potente, Run Lola Run brought new respect to German filmmaking, which has previously been (fairly) characterized as deliberate, slow paced, and self-absorbed in a bad way. Run Lola Run is about action. From 10 seconds into the opening credits through to the end -- punctuated only with a few brief intermissions to let you catch your breath -- the director grabs you and drags you along a whirlwind journey. Three times. You'll enjoy the ride each time. There's one moment, when you begin the rollercoaster ride for the second time, when you'll say to yourself "oh no, I'm going to have to watch this again. This is going to hurt." And within 8 seconds Twyker shifts gears on you and shows you how Lola's journey changes others and herself in different ways each time. I don't want to spoil too much of the plot, so I'll give you the barest outline: Lola's boyfriend Manni has lost 100,000 Deutschmarks that his gangster boss is coming to collect in 20 minutes. Lola has to run across town to find 100,000 DM, and reach Manni, before time runs out. The soundtrack is unparalleled. The filmmaking is superb. The acting is flawless -- every supporting actor strikes the perfect note. This is the movie I would want to be stuck on a desert island with. If you get the DVD version, you'll also get one of the most interesting directors commentaries available. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone that is human.

Summary: Run go get it run!
Review: This is fantastic! One of the best films I have seen in a long time. Wonderfully directed (great angles great colours), realistically acted (all the characters are so beliveable) and a brilliant and simple story. Suppose you had 20 minutes to save your boyfriend, what would you do? And if it all went wrong? The music is also brilliant (I have just bought the CD)! I thought that I would be one of a few that liked it but look at all the stars. So forget the subtitles and buy this DVD (and learn some German at the same time)!
