Product: Run, Lola, Run [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 3.0
An 82 minute music video
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.
