Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
It's difficult to create a film that's fast paced, exciting, and aesthetically appealing without diluting its dialogue. Run Lola Run, directed and written by Tom Tykwer, is an enchanting balance of pace and narrative, creating a universal parable that leaps over cultural barriers. This is the story of young Lola (Franka Potente) and her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu). In the space of 20 minutes, they must come up with 100,000 deutsche marks to pay back a seedy gangster, who will be less than forgiving when he finds out that Manni incompetently lost his cash to an opportunistic vagrant. Lola, confronted with one obstacle after another, rides an emotional roller coaster in her high-speed efforts to help the hapless Manni--attempting to extract the cash first from her double-dealing father (appropriately a bank manager), and then by any means necessary. From this point nothing goes right for either protagonist, but just when you think you've figured out the movie, the director introduces a series of brilliant existential twists that boggle the mind. Tykwer uses rapid camera movements and innovative pauses to explore the theme of cause and effect. Accompanied by a pulse-pounding soundtrack, we follow Lola through every turn and every heartbreak as she and Manni rush forward on a collision course with fate. There were a variety of original and intelligent films released in 1999, but perhaps none were as witty and clever as this little gem--one of the best foreign films of the year. --Jeremy Storey

If Lola doesn't replace the money in twenty minutes Manni will surely suffer severe consequences. Set to a throbbing techno score 'Lola's like a human stun gun!'

Rating:  - Really good Foreign film
I first saw this movie when I lived in Germany with the US Army. The US release on DVd includes an english version, but really, I think its best with the subtitles. You may recognize the girl as "Jason Bourne(Markie Mark)'s " girlfriend from The Bourne movies.
What makes this movie great, in my opinion, is how they use their obviously small budget to its greatest end, and it manages to successfully ask the question "how do the choices I make influence or impact those around me"
If you like unconventional movies, you will really enjoy this one.
Rating:  - Run Money Run!
This is one movie where the title makes as much sense as the content. I gave it one star, although Franka deserves five stars for fitness.
Rating:  - Time enough for love
This film may have had a tad of art to it but for the most part it looked like a practice RUN for "Groundhog Day." I appreciate the differences but there is nothing unique about this movie. The only pleasure is comparing this to the hundreds of other similar movies ("Déjà Vu", "Sticky Fingers of Time", "Happy Accidents", etc.)
The story is very basic; boyfriend loses mob money to bum on subway. Girlfriend (Franka Potente quite hansom if you discount the red hair) frantic to help must RUN to his rescuer obtaining 100,000 Deutschmarks (pre-Euro 2002) on the way. We are treated to several versions and there could have been more.
-----------------------------------------------
This film lends its self well to Blu-ray. And there are a few DVD extras worth watching. Unfortunately they spoke to fast to interpret so I needed the English subtitles. I would have preferred German subtitles then I may have been able to keep up. There is an English soundtrack but much is lost in the translation.

Rating: - Is this a joke?
This movie was horrible. It made absolutely no point and was a waste of my time. To study this movie in German 201 was probably the worst thing we have ever done with film.
It made no sense and I can't imagine a single reason why anyone would ever enjoy this film or admire the director for thinking up such a "masterpiece."
Rating:  - The Pace is Relentless!
This is never a dull moment in this movie. It looks and sounds great in Blu-ray as well.
