Wait a Minute!
A great, fast-paced movie with intelligent social commentary. Not only is this movie an adrenaline rush, but it's also a visual delight. There are little visual cues to pick up here and there, for example the roadway that forms infin -- the Greek symbol for infinity -- in the opening sequence.The actors are clearly talented, particularly the two leads. Even though Manni and Lola have very litte screen time together, their chemistry is evident throughout. Somehow, Potente and Bleibtreu make is incredibly easy to see why Lola would risk so much for her boyfriend.But, having watched the movie I was left thinking: Wait a minute...if the homeless man used 700 marks to buy the bicycle --> then there is money missing from the bag Manni delivered to his mob boss --> who will surely kill him for this discrepancy. Is this supposed to be noticed, or am I obscenely obsessive and over analytical? Hmmmm
