On the heels of `Run Lola Run,' a major international success, its star, Franka Potente, appeared in a medical thriller called `Anatomy' (2000). Its American distributor, Sony, dropped it into eight theaters one weekend; it grossed a ludicrous $5,725 (not a misprint) and was relegated to video. How could that happen? `Anatomy' must be one dog of a movie! But it's not. Far from it. This is a fine, creepy chiller in the mold of `Coma.' Potente plays a medical student chosen for special anatomy training at a school founded by her ailing grandfather, to whom she is close, but who is estranged from her father, also a doctor. Her father's motivation becomes evident as she learns, to her horror, what's really going on at Grandpa's school. As with virtually all movies of this type, credibility suffers as the climax nears. (The solutions are never as interesting or believable as the puzzles.) But that's no reason to miss the fun of getting there.
