An intriguing film

The first time I saw this movie was in 2008. At that time, I only thought that this movie was noisy and noisy. In short, it was dismissive. Now I watch this action movie or gangster movie, but I feel that it is not conventional, and there are surprises.
Leaving aside the violent pornography, the British comedy dialogue, black humor, tight rhythm, and laugh-out-loud shots are enough to separate and ponder the episodes. Although the whole plot is not fully explained, the final treatment is not conventional. The director's way of handling it is a surprise. The last moment was a mixture of joy and sorrow. I didn't expect that Jason Statham, who had always acted only as a tough guy, had such an intriguing and complicated expression on the phone in the last few seconds, which also proved that he could act.
Personally, I think it's not just "Lola Run", but a multi-layered connotation. There is only one hour left in life, what else can I do? What is the most important thing in life? Chirio's first and last call was to his girlfriend Eve.
I think there is also the awakening and respect for life at the last moment.
I really liked that last phone call part. It is maverick and has a unique style, a bit like Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest" and "Evil in the East and Poison in the West". The more you look, the more intriguing. It's a good movie.

    The exciting film just said that the male version of Lola Run is not very reliable, but it is generally acceptable.

Crank quotes

  • Chev Chelios: What is this stuff?

    Doc Miles: Synthetic ephedrine diluted with some saline.

    Chev Chelios: Feels sort of good.

    Doc Miles: Yeah well. I got a little Meth in there too, so that's the endorphins you feel running to your brain.

    Chev Chelios: Wait a minute so I'm not better?

    Doc Miles: Fuck no you're not better. You're in such shit shape it's stunning. I can't belive your hearts still beating. Shit should be in a fucking medical journal.

  • Chev Chelios: Do you think I've got 'cunt' written on my forehead?
