Ooooh boy. Run, Lola, Run is quite a movie. Between the thundering techno and merger of animation and live action scene, this movie is quite a ride. As usual, this movie comes with a warning: be ready to accept what this movie throws at you. This movie doesn't care about your feeble need for cohesion and continuity. Things just sort of happen in Run, Lola, Run and you need to be ready to handle them.
The movie is about Lola, a redheaded woman who has just learned that her boyfriend, Manni, is about to rob a convenience store in order to try and recover the money he lost to a homeless man on the subway. The money's so important because he was serving as a middle man on a dimon deal for a gangster named Ronnie. The only way Lola can stop him is if she gets the money herself before noon. And the only way to do that... Is to run.
Despite it's overwhelming quirks, Run, Lola, Run is a fantastic movie. It has plenty of action and the visual style is certainly entertaining, if hard to follow. It earns my second five out of five for really just being so damn awesome. Just be warned: there is about a half-second of bondage.
