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.
