Run
Lola Run is a
fast-paced, blood-pumping action thriller with a smart and inventive story. The
butterfly effect element that occurs throughout the film adds a nice element of
depth that keeps the razor-thin plot from feeling flimsy. The enthralling,
pulse-pounding techno score further accentuates the high-speed tension of the
film. I like the fantastical elements throughout the story. You do not see that
often in American films, so it is a welcome breath of fresh air. This is also
one of the few instances where music video style editing works. That kind of
stylization must be fully embraced with a purpose to work well. The film uses
it excellently to get you caught up in the mad-dash frenzy. This is definitely
a film worth checking out.
