Run Lola Run (1998)
9/10
Exhilarating and just plain fun
18 October 2003
The movie has its flaws. Although Lola is always running, she never breaks a sweat or is as out of breath as most people would be. In another scene, she's outside on the sidewalk talking to her boyfriend who is inside a store, but they speak to each other in the regular tone of two people who don't have a plate of glass separating them. Oh yes, and Lola also falls down a flight of stairs but resumes her mad dash after a few limps.

My advise, should you care for it? Suspend all expectations, and hop on the roller coaster for a fun-filled ride. This is a very different movie, and quite excellent in its execution. See firsthand how Lola can make strange things happen whenever she screams her head off. Watch her turn into a cartoon character and back into herself. Enjoy the madness. And all of this is accompanied by flawless techno music that doesn't let you go until the credits stop rolling, in reverse order, I noticed.

I gave this film a 9/10, and can't wait to see it again. By the way, I'm forty-seven years old, so it's not just for kids.
