There were a LOT of crime/thriller/mindbender movies in the 1990s. Quentin Tarantino, Danny Boyle and Tony Scott probably made some of the most memorable films of the genre. But one most Americans missed was the 1998 indie German film RUN LOLA, RUN!
Critics and movie nerds raved about this film at the time as it was a unique approach to the genre featuring multiple storylines and outcomes. It's set mostly in real-time and features a bumping European techno soundtrack that enhances the suspense (or drives you crazy if you hate that kind of music ha ha).
Cristina says this is one of her favorite indie movies; and much like Harold & Maude it's technically a romance story but about as far from a Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan Hollywood cookie cutter flick as you can get. Chad had never seen it until now and noticed how much it's actually a comic book-type movie as Lola seems to have superpowers.
Have you ever seen this cult classic? Does it hold up in 2026? Let us know!
