Lola receives a phone call from her boyfriend Manni. He lost 100,000 DM in a subway train that belongs to a very bad guy. She has 20 minutes to raise this amount and meet Manni. Otherwise, he will rob a store to get the money. Three different alternatives may happen depending on some minor event along Lola's run.
The film is a sprint of barely 80 minutes, driven by techno, fast cuts and quick photo flashes that give side characters a whole life in passing. It plays formally with repetition and chance while staying physical, loud and brisk. Franka Potente's presence carries the pace without it ever feeling tiring.
Good for you if you like thrillers with strong momentum, a distinctive style and a touch of playfulness.
