Yeah, I saw the movie. Wonderful. or maybe in german ausgezeichnet. But
maybe a more accurate description of the plot is: Lacky makes a drop for
brutal thug. Lacky's GF, Lola, is late to picking him up from exchange.
He takes the subway but due to complications leaves 100k DM on the subway.
The thug will kill him if the Lacky doesn't have the money to give the
Thug in 20 mins (12?). The lacky calls Lola. She tries to get the money
in 20mins and save the day.
The sound track is great, lots of Rave, Trance and Techno. It's used
very well to heighten this frenetic film. Also several of the dialog have
some wonderful rythem. When Manni (the lacky) is screaming at Lola he
goes into the paced tirade, it's wonderful. Several time the dialog
includes unnecessary repetition that really works well. The banker's
dialog to Lola in the hall is wonderful. The whole film is fresh,
exciting, and a great deal of fun. Go see it. Go see it. Go see it.
