Lola's got 20mins to save her boyfriends life after he phones her on the otherside of town in distress.
Lola's boyfriend (Manni) has lost the money he owes his gangster Boss £50,000 by a mistake, leaving it on a busy subway train and to make matters worse a tramp has now picked up his dosh.
With a mind blowing pace and hardcore techno music in the background it's a truely compelling film to watch and infact it will get your own adrenal glands pumping from your seat.
The casting is spot on and I personally find Lola (Franka Potente) to be very attractive though her hair colour does take some time to adjust to. The directing is extremely fresh, with superb panning shots from the urban German city and it's also well worth taking a note down for director/writer Tom Tykwer as I'm sure he'll be bringing more of his wonderful work to the big sreen.
At 77 mins long it's pretty short but is still a very exciting and entralling ride also watch out as this film has a seriously excellent twist. Being this is a German film you'll have a choice of watching this DVD in subtitles or a dubbed format which is very good. I urge everyone reading this review now to watch this flashy foriegn classic. (you will thank me) I just hope hollywood don't remake this film as it would have no buzz in my opinion.
A very clever German film indeed, 100% good fun. Summary: A masterpiece, Run Lola Run is definitely in my top 10 of all time greats and would urge all Ciao readers to grab a copy. I found a DVD copy of Run Lola Run on www.Asda.com for around £5.
A masterpiece, Run Lola Run is definitely in my top 10 of all time
