Run Lola Run

     'Run Lola Run' is a German action movie that portrays the importance of being on time, literally.  My main plot of the film is that Lola has to gather enough money and bring it to her boyfriend, Manni, so he can pay his boss.  At the beginning of the movie, Manni drops a large bag of cash in which a homeless man finds it and decides to keep it, which is why Lola has to hurry and get money from her father and bring to Manni by noon.  This film is broken up between three different runs, in which she makes three attempts to get the money to Manni on time.  In the first run, Lola runs to her father's bank to ask for a bunch of money.  Her father refuses, so Lola had to demand the money from him at gunpoint.  He obliges and gives her the money, but she doesn't make it to Manni on time, in which she encounters him robbing a supermarket (Lola decides to join in and help).  In the second run, Lola takes a different route to get to Manni.  She arrives at her father's bank and robs him at gunpoint, demanding 500,000 marks.  As soon as she steps out the door of the bank, it appears that the police have surround her.  Lola gets really scared and thinks that the police were going to arrest her since she was carrying a bag full of the stolen money.  She gets confused when the police tell her to move out of the because they are responding to the bank robbery, but what they didn't know is that Lola was the one who stole a bunch of money, obviously.  On her third run, Lola avoids any obstacles that she encountered in her past two runs, but her father and a colleague get into a car crash and get killed.  She also decides to go to a casino and gamble for the money.  She ends up winning the jackpot two times in a row and walks out with ample amounts of cash.  At the same time during her third run, Manni find the homeless guy that stole his bag of money, so he chases him down and takes the money from him.  Lola arrives at the destination on time and finds Manni getting out of a car, shaking hands with his boss because Manni brought the money to his boss on time.  As an added "bonus," the money that Lola won from the casino is their's to keep, but she is shown crying at the end of the film because of the death of her father.

     This movie is very action packed and provides a great thrilling movie-watching experience.  I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a high-paced action-thriller movie.
