Run Lola Run

(Columbia TriStar)

This German film from Ted Tykwer has Lola (Franka Potente) on the run because she's got just 20 minutes to come up with 100,000 marks or her small-time punk boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), will be wearing cement overshoes courtesy of his mobster boss. The director tells his story three times, with plot variants along the way and, therefore, different endings; the first two are fun but by the third you may be expecting something more than he delivers.
