| ***1/2 (out of 4) RUN LOLA RUN is the filmic equivalent of techno dance
music. There is never a gap between tracks and never a slow moment for
rest. It's all rhythm, style, and energy. There's not much you'd call a
melody, but then that's not what this...more |

| RUN LOLA RUN should be required viewing for all Hollywood

exciting as anything I've seen the past couple of years, and not only
does it establish its breakneck pace without blowing...more |

Lauper's kid sister after a hard night of clubhopping. But Lola is
hardly a girl who just wants to have fun.
Instead, she's desperate to come up with the money to save...more |

| I went into "Run Lola Run" expecting to be dazzled, yet I thought
I would probably hate it anyway since my taste leans toward
films with strong stories and fully developed characters. But I
was pleasantly surprised to find this little German movie to...more |

| German director Tom Tykwer's "Run Lola Run" is the first truly great pop
fantasy since Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," a high-octane, bizarrely moving,
sensual, energetic film of such distinct purity that it is impossible to put it
out of your mind. more |

| Once the technique - same scenario, three different
ways has been established, RUN LOLA RUN loses its novelty
effect. That¹s unfortunate, as Tom Tykwer¹s tale of lovers
against the clock, I think, had some degree of potential.

| “Run Lola Run” is a thoroughly likable film, a hyperactive
visual treat that combines 35mm with video, stills, and animation.
Combined with a satisfying story line and some deliciously understated
acting, it’s far and away my favorite movie of the...more |

| About halfway through the 81 breathless minutes of

has 20 minutes to deliver...more |
