Review by
Run Lola Run is a fast pace film with a non linear narrative. The story follows women who need to obtain 100,000 Deutsche mark in twenty minutes to save her boyfriends life(Mani). Mani is a small time goon who handled a smuggling job, collected the payment and delivered the loot. He is forced to travel by the train and left the money in the subway which needs to be returned to his boss "Ronie." Calling from a phone booth, Mani explains he has 20 minutes to make 100,00 Deutsche mark and how Lola finds money forms the rest of the story. The film has a repetitive narrative with slight modifications in each of them. the use of upbeat music makes the the film effective because it creates a suspense and keeps the audience going. In overall the i would give the movie 3 star rating because the story line is not up to the mark as expected and the use of same angle in the repetitive sequence make it boring for the audience.
