Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

amitksing This is such an utter waste of time! Just like Lola, this film is also running around in all directions. The scenes are repeated, and instead of giving a hint to viewers about re-occurrence of same event, the director plays same frames all over again and again.

Liam Gutierrez This 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.

gordonl56 RUN LOLA RUN 1998 Not sure how to describe this 1998 German production. Best to call it a real non-stop thrill ride about a pair of losers. Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu are the said losers. Bleibtreu is a low end dealer who is doing a 100,000 Mark cash pick-up for his boss. Of course he loses the cash and is sure that his crazy boss is going to kill him.He gets on the phone and calls his girl, Potente about the screw-up. Now starts a series of events as Potente tries to round up the cash in just 20 minutes. Out the door she charges and starts running here and there in order to save her boyfriend's life.The film moves at breakneck speed as Potente tries to hit up her banker father for some cash. This does not work so it is back on the street as Potente races to her man's side. The deal here is that the boyfriend intents to rob a nearby market if Potente cannot gather the cash.The whole story starts over again when the first "run" is not a success. This one plays out slightly different but is likewise not a success. The third "run" is again different, but this time there is a happy ending for Potente and Bleibtreu.This one is a film that really needs to be seen. It is damn near impossible to explain the story and do it justice. At only 81 minutes it rocket's along with top flight cinematography and a pounding soundtrack. It is well worth the time investment.I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen and was floored by the whole production. The audience all clapped and cheered at the end.

dylanpatrickbaldwin Run Lola Run is the best use of style over substance that I have seen in at least 20 years. It's a stylish epic told at a manic pace, and director Tom Tykwer masterfully controls the tone of all of its myriad different sequences. It careens chaotically through choices and the paths of numerous people's lives, going so fast at many times that the audience is barely even able to keep up. Oftentimes it is unclear why the choices that have been made affect others' lives so deeply, but still this doesn't matter. What this film is is a frenzy of lavish camera moves, superb use of tension and recurring motifs, strange twists, feverish philosophy, and just the right amount of quiet, still scenes to keep the audience from growing fatigued (Neveldine & Taylor could learn something). While many have dubbed it a "no-brainer", I would argue that this film goes deeper than that, though by how much I can't be quite sure. It is incredibly fast, but also grounded by fleshed out characters, a complex web of narratives, and excellent performances all around. It's opening sequence and the narration over it give hints of some vague philosophical undertones, regarding the hustle and bustle of nameless persons and the strangers whose lives you affect in ways which you cannot begin to imagine. And with its interesting narrative structure (which would be a spoiler if I elaborated on it, but trust me, it's very interesting) leaves some contemplation; how much of the film was real? Was it all real? Is multiverse theory real in this universe? (Okay, now I'm right up against it, so I'll stop) I'm not sure if even Tykwer knows the answers to these questions, but the fact remains that this is a superbly directed, ridiculously fun and idiosyncratic film. While it is very similar in themes to the 1987 Polish film blind chance, it is the style that manages to give Run Lola Run an entirely original, gleefully fresh feel. While I fear that this may be Tom Tykwer's magnum opus even at the age of only 50, this is a spectacular, whirlwind, layered, and passionate legacy to leave.
