   Some films just do the subtitles poorly: print too small, or not enough   
   contrast (white on white is pathetic!) I'd spend way too much time   
   stop-starting those films so that I could have time to read those things   
   properly.     
      
   But Run Lola Run is mostly action. the dialog is short and easy to glance at   
   the subtitle and get back to the visual.  I remember watching that thing   
   several times. First, primarily to get the "story" in dialog, and then next to   
   enjoy the filming and artistry.     
      
   The film gets off to a fast build-up of excitement within the first 5   
   minutes.  Lots of running scenes with the camera following the action. It   
   feels like a wild ride.  Consequences of "correction" trigger new   
   consequences. Very funny too.
