This is a brilliant film. Tons of great action and suspense, a real thriller that isn't so much about scaring the audience as just keeping them on the edge of their seats. It also has lots of great comedic moments as well. It's like Groundhog's Day meets Frantic or Sliding Doors... hard to describe but totally unique and will keep your attention.
... View MoreLola receives a call from Manni, he is at a payphone, looking really anxious and desperately blaming her for not being on time, as he asks also for her help completely out of nerves. Lola needs to have 100.000 Deutsche marks in 20 minutes if she doesn't want her boyfriend to get killed. The time plays a very important role on this film, we see the same sequence of 20 minutes repeated three times, in which every time some little details change until the final ending becomes completely different. I loved everything on this movie. The music is a very important part for me, it really got me into it since the very initial credits, making everything that was going on on screen really appealing, filling every scene with the proper emotions induced by this changing soundtrack. I love how everything we see is meaningful, every scene is necessary, each interaction, each encounter, each second, everything matters. I found the acting really skillful, and I personally liked the work of camera when it came to film all the scenes of Lola running through the city, they did a really good job with the cinematography. In conclusion, I completely recommend this movie which is able to keep you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the exact end.
... View MoreRun Lola Run is a quick paced, low budget film about a young woman trying to save her boyfriend who has lost the hundred thousand he was to deliver to a mob boss. She has twenty minutes to find a hundred grand and get to him before he robs a grocery store. As you can expect, the film moves extremely fast to give you a sort of adrenaline rush, quickly cutting to various angles and tracking shots, interspersing cartoons, throwing in small vignettes with no bearing on the story but interesting nonetheless. It's an entirely original film with a great soundtrack, a movie I don't think has been recreated since. The closest equivalent I could come up with are the Crank movies, though I think those are a little more crazy in how they build that bullet train pacing.Lola is a pretty good movie all around though I didn't feel a real connection to it. The characters are built up a bit but ultimately didn't come across as three dimensional to me and the plot was only there to service the action. As an eighty minute film, you can't go wrong and it really is unique and fun. But despite all the originality of the direction and cinematography, I can't help but feel it's still a fairly hollow movie in the end.
... View MoreThis movie is very exciting and I did not experience any dull moment. I only wish it had a smarter ending but definitely worth watching!If you decide to watch this movie, you will be asking all the time what is going to happen next or will end everything in a big disaster next minute?The main actress looks very hot while running and she is running a lot in this movie. So, if you are turned on by a red haired girl running all over town then that movie is for you. And she has good reason to run, after all it's about lots of money and to avoid a hefty sentence and lengthy jail time. You will feel how much is at stake for her and your nerves won't calm down until the very end.
