Rating: 5.0
Definitely worth anyone's time
Okay, you have just recieved a phonecall from your lover and discovered that he has lost a lot of a mobster's money and he only has twenty minutes to get the money back....what do you do? That is the problem our red headed heroine faces in RUN LOLA RUN. This is one of the best films I have seen. It is fast paced (in fact there are only a few moments where the film slows down and allows you to catch your breath), and with each run that we see, the world is affected differently. It is truely a work of art when you see how director Tykwer makes Lola's run affect people differently. In one scene, Lola is nearly hit by a car but manages to roll on top of the hood and avoids being hurt (however the car then runs into another car.) But the next time, Lola doesn't make it over the car and stops the driver, who then misses running into the same car. RUN LOLA RUN the DVD is loaded with features that can greatly affect a person's outlook on the film. The commontary is superb and explanes one what the signifigance of one of the quotes that opens the film. There is also a music video from the song that is the basis for the film, Believe. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves film.
