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.
最后的拥抱，你我都回到了那一天，回到一切都美好的时候。
剧情拍的有些过于理想化了，一切都顺着一个人的意愿走不就成了小爽剧，结尾一段话把人瞬间拉回现实。人物特写很有印度风，唰唰唰的，另外印度女生的眼睛可真好看啊～ （倒是没太早猜出剧情来，尤其最后，多加一星
【2.5】执导层面挺有看头，节奏和气氛都维持得不错。但这个故事的呈现本身太低效率了，几处值得发挥的地方几乎都被编剧阉割或忽略掉，只为了顺利达到主线叙事上的煽情目的。
无人关注、无人聆听的痛苦真的能把人“逼疯”；主人公已经极度理智了，能用这样的方式换来和女性首相的对话真的很令人羡慕动容。
印度电影质感还是不错！其实一开始就猜到了，女主只是借孩子让妇女qj案受到关注。电影结局很美好，现实真的改变了吗？
Hotstar出品 印地语电影的流媒体化 女性意识觉醒的表述越来越直接大胆 惊悚是形式 反映社会问题是内核 这个片子要设定在总理是女性的前提下才有可能成立 可就算当上总理还会被说“你太情绪化了 你只是个女人”
国内买来翻拍的话，会以什么做切入点呢？贩卖人口？
也正是因此
三分之一就能预料剧情，却又在结局被谁是真凶吓了一跳。为国家命运而持续发声的印度电影，和真不咋地的印度国情，真是讽刺。
几种关系之间的力很巧妙，虽然刻意但都有效，也没刻意得过界。演技确实太稳了。
感动是真的，悲喜是相通的，这才是最难得的东西。支持一把印度妇女。
2022第一天，看了一部很值得的电影，血缘未必是家人，爱却能穿越时间拥抱伤害，软化刺猬，选择什么，成为什么，朝向什么。
像韩影那类意义大于电影本身的电影，聚焦印度的社会问题，新闻媒体和官僚体制的探讨也只是浅层次的，更多是女性的控诉，以及这一控诉也因为前奏过长而显得无力，结局更是过于理想化了。角色必须伟光正的规则也使得影片走向了模式化的类型片，没有被逼入绝境的疯狂似乎就失去了批判的力量。当影像之外的观众没有看到行为只听到了枪响，也就等于把真相告诉了观众，因此展开的情绪是多余的，这也是电影的局限性。
苏州疫情下的观影•第9部
最后法律逻辑上，美国是无罪推定的疑罪从无。并且就算确定了5岁妹妹开枪也大概率就是几年监外执行。
所有的一切都是为了最后一场戏的无声的拥抱，
这是世界，人与人之间，真的很难做到感同身受。我们能做的，就是尽量做好自己，以身作则。
复仇剧 女主策划绑架，只为见总理，以自身为视角揭露印度强奸的严重性
Balling my eyes out… Heads off to all mother figures
故事太悲催，她的人生充满失误与伤痕。★★★/6.8
