From the very beginning, Lola is running. This is good. Unlike the first Kill Bill, Run Lola Run at least delivers on its title, which is about three quarters of what I demand out of the films I see.
I am now, after the fact, reminded of Training Day for this movie, in so much as I thought that TD was one of the best movies I'd ever seen until the end -- RLR was great for the first twenty minutes. Absolutely fantastic.
And then it became a time travel movie or a "what if" thing. I would have loved to have seen them keep up the pace for 80 minutes, which I suppose is the shortest you can make a flick.
Very well made, very entertaining, definitely very good, but I was let down twenty minutes into it because I was so hyped at how well things were going. If I had known that the same story was going to be told three times perhaps I would not have been so disappointed.
