Overall Call:
This is one of those rare little finds that you want to recommend to everyone. After seeing it you just can't imagine anyone not liking it or at the very least not being entertained. It's a fast paced simple story that pulls you in from the beginning. Tom Tykwer provides both good direction and writing to form a solid foundation for the film. Franka Potente as Lola stands out with a fine performance and has nice chemistry with Moritz Bleibtreu who plays her boyfriend Manni. This is a French film and I know sometimes on a Friday night you just want to be entertained and are not in the mood to read a movie. Even so it's about as easy to read as they get. Much of the story is action without heavy dialog. In addition once you go through the initial scenario the rest of the movie sort of takes care of itself. When you see it you'll understand what I mean. When caught pondering your next rental selection venture into the foreign film section and grab Run Lola Run.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Unique styling and well integrated multimedia
+ Fun story
+ Appropriately great soundtrack
