Product: Run Lola Run [Blu-ray] (2008)
Rating: 5.0
A MUST-OWN DVD!
I just watched this movie for a History of Cinema class, and I must say that it is one of the best movies that I have ever seen in my life. Don't let the fact that it is a German movie throw you off; this is brilliant movie making to the extreme! A pulsating, non-stop action thriller, you will NEVER want this movie to end.Run Lola Run is an great example of the New Wave style of movie making; but while this movie is cinematically innovative, it's also incredible for its message: We are all just pawns in the game of life. The slightest, smallest thing can change the path of our lives completely; and this movie shows this message perfectly. Any fan of action films must watch this movie! And if you are thrown off by the fact that it's a foreign movie, the DVD also offers an option of English dubbing. The dubbing is hardly noticible after a while, and the action more than makes up for it. I must also say the the amazing techno music accompanies the action supurbly. Everything is edited around the music, and the results are awesome.Some of you may recognize the actress who plays Lola from the Bourne movies. She was amazing in those movies, but she is at her best here. She perfectly mixes action and drama, and is often very humerous as well. She helps to make this movie the great cinematic masterpiece that it is.Overall, I strongly suggest that you watch this movie. It is a terrific film, and you will be rivited from beginning to end. OVERALL RATING: 10/10
