UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
导演像S一般控射观众，教科书般的视听下靠细节慢慢摸透叙事，而在沉稳的叙述下暗流持续涌动，内柔外刚的卷福，内刚外柔的男孩，“最后蛮俗的卷福穿着现代文明的西服进入棺材”，成为年度悲剧人物，传统老派的叙事风格，却深藏着触目惊心的反思，从女性角度去审视性别刻板观念和有毒的男子气概，后劲儿太大了，简坎皮恩，我记住你了！
BC无论外型还是表演风格都不太适合演这个角色，画面相对于故事也显得有些过于干净明亮。
前半段不太行…后半段Peter黑化勉强救场。卷福不错。拜托文学改编请别再搞章回体（今年这都第几部了…
三星半。和想象中完全不一样，归结起来算是个邪恶复仇故事。整体情感和情绪都很怪，男孩这个角色从开始就笃定要保护母亲，却深藏不露，是故事幕后的大boss，但角色被塑造得不怎么丰满，不够立体。摄影着实很美，但故事真的太怪了~
奥斯卡瞎了只给了最佳导演，还欠最佳改编剧本和最佳男配。（搬钢琴想起《钢琴课》，原来是同位导演）。每日所见的门前巨山，暗藏张口欲吞的黑犬。人性裂缝里的巨大阴郁与暗火幽微，磨爪，绷到最后一环才释放张力，赞最后一夜那幕马棚点烟，又一史册级含蓄拨炭火撩欲不脱衣的名场面。。各怀孤独，各去乖僻，蛇吞大象的果断，野兔也没有逃路。能看的出后面有个优秀文本支撑，已经很想看小说了。因为看到打了同性标签，打算看色情戏的人会失望了。。。可以二刷的片，4＋
本以为这只是一部西部片，渐渐有了爱情片的元素，再后面发现有男同片的潜质，最后影片以悬疑片终结。
SH封控timing看它，绝了，你搞不清你在戏里，还是你在看戏。
都在电影里了，很难用余赘的语言去评价这部电影。皇上啊，温柔刀，刀刀致命。
在理想状态下，这部电影应该让人在大笑之余，感到深深的忧虑、无助乃至恐惧。它没有很好地做到前者，但在后一点上却是大致合格的。我自己也会在两种情绪中摇摆：绝大部分时间里，必须相信人类值得也能够被拯救，否则便再无未来可言；但偶尔，也会哀叹人类的寿命实在太短，所以只有极少数的一部分人，才能有幸见证我们这个物种凭借短视和愚蠢而努力挣来的那个末日的最终到来。
密云下暗流涌动，演员们的表演太好了，都是不动声色的那种
衣冠楚楚的现代性年轻人取代了老派牛仔还隐喻了文明社会与蛮荒的冲突，整立意不可谓不高。
这部电影深刻地揭示了一个道理：peer review是多么多么多么重要！
本尼迪克特康伯巴奇把一个牛仔的阴阳两面演得太细腻了，看好他至少获得奥斯卡影帝提名。
本尼上演水怪表情包的那幕笑出声来...整个剧情有点像是小学生打架，本尼是主角因为他有跟每一个人打
两个人互为镜像，展现了性格迥然不同的两种男人的多样性，简·坎皮恩如此拍人、拍男人拒绝了当前所谓女权电影的乱象，拒绝标签化，格局比一派政治正确电影人高到不知道多少。
人已经分不清轻重，遑论缓急。反正都是一个死，我们也不能做什么，那就不如闭上眼睛，死一个自得其所。
喜感一半来自现实新闻影射，一半来自反套路的拍摄手法，每个情节都加速讲完，比如大表姐的酒吧演讲，上一秒情绪刚烘托起来，下一秒打砸抢，再下一秒就又戴头套被抓了——点到了观众就全脑补好了，直奔大结局而去。“毁灭吧，累了。”
因为被前期的介绍误导，本以为会是像钢琴课一样描绘爱的角力，结果却是这样一个故事，有点意外，看到后来想起影片开头独白，原来开篇就已经揭示真相。看似柔弱的男孩慢慢露出他的獠牙，又一个Norman Bates式的男孩，真是会咬人的狗不叫啊，有点心疼Phil。
摄影取景很棒 不得不说纸玫瑰点烟甚美 情感表达精简隐晦 母亲和弟弟都不讨喜 最后耶鲁深柜牛仔输给白净恶魔男孩 这个故事i dont like
A / 绝对的新电影，最具时效性的网络大数据电影的外观，却从始至终被连贯的，人类最为永恒的情绪——焦虑所牵引着，所有的碎片笑料包袱或者揶揄讽刺直指后疫情时代的政治与人的心理状态，连缀成漫天「星图」。而抬头刹那，已无力去驳斥粉饰太平的谎言，用动荡的手持捕捉末日来临前的平静，让我们等候终结，去迎接属于这个十年的「忧郁症」。
