20 Awesome 90s Movies That Deserve More Love
10. Run Lola Run (1998)
The plot is simple: At the mercy of his gangster boss, a desperate bagman (Moritz Bleibtreu) enlists the help of his girlfriend (Franka Potente) to secure a large amount of cash before he's killed for failing his latest job.
What follows is one of the most genuinely hair-raising thrillers of the '90s, as Lola becomes more and more determined to save the day and her boyfriend's time runs out.
Run Lola Run is as brisk, exciting, and utterly compelling as it gets, a short but sweet shot of adrenaline that goes to all the expected places but still finds ways - with inventive plot twists, frantic camera work, and gripping performances - to keep things fresh, engaging, and unpredictable to the very end.
Proof that great movies don't have to be complicated and reach any higher than they need to, Run Lola Run is a big bag of fun, perfect for anyone seeking a good thrill ride.
