In this visually and conceptually impressive film, two-bit Berlin criminal Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) delivers some smuggled loot for his boss, Ronnie (Heino Ferch), but accidentally leaves the 100,000 mark payment in a subway car. Given 20 minutes to come up with the money, he calls his girlfriend, Lola (Franka Potente), who sprints through the streets of the city to try to beg the money out of her bank manager father (Herbert Knaup) and get to Manni before he does something desperate.

Critics Consensus

More fun than a barrel of Jean-Paul Sartre, pic's energy riffs on an engaging love story and really human performances while offering a series of what-ifs and a blood-stirring soundtrack.

Peter Howell

Toronto Star

Tykwer ups the adrenalin with a fast-forward technique that gives instant backgrounders on some of the people Lola flashes by. It's dizzying, almost like having your life flash before your eyes. But it's a rush, just like the movie.

Rated: 4/4

Zachary Barnes

Wall Street Journal

Though it doesn’t deliver a Shyamalanian twist or create the revelatory, encompassing new world of The Matrix, it offers spare, high-velocity action with spectacular style, ornamented with ribbons of philosophical mischief.

The film works like a shot because it gets to the point and does not let up; we get caught up in the urgency of the situation even without having had prior introduction to the protagonist. [Full review in Spanish]

Mr. Hollywood

Still is unique and enjoyable all these many years later. And it was great to see it again and in a theater. So many little things make this good that if you have not seen it you must.

This film is an all time classic. Driven, imaginative, surprising, lyrical and dizzying. You fall in love deeply with the characters and the world is distinct and unique. The use of the song ‘what a difference a day makes’ is one of the great moments in cinema.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
