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.
摄影很拉胯，明明大量内景却没拍出空间感，频繁且无意义的切换镜头真的很网大，不那么出色的剧本，扁平化的人物
说实话，虽然电影在“一本正经的胡闹”但真的闹出了点东西。电影的立意和剧情我觉得都特别好，而且很讨巧，作为观众的我和朋友沉浸在剧情里笑到打鸣，又跟着编剧一起认真的分析案情，喜剧真的只是点缀。看到最后那个小彩蛋我一下回忆起我的青春《万万没想到》！
故事完整。夹带了大量吐槽以及“导演看过很多经典电影”
6.5，还真的不错，逻辑和伏线双双在线这真的很不容易，关于现场为什么裁画的逻辑推演颇有那么点东川笃哉的意思，分尸的理由和动机与伏线紧密相连并为最后的大逆转服务，确实是有那么点晚餐后和如月疑云的意思，国产推理影视要成还是要跟喜剧结合，当然万万团队他们这套拍法确实格调不太高，对标年初的缉魂，程伟豪的导演水平那是吊打刘循子墨，不过确实应该承认在嬉笑怒骂的背后是有表达的，虽然蛮迂回曲折的，是春秋笔法的，带有电影从业者顾影自怜的态度，但毕竟这是在诉说现实，是在表达对强权的反抗，在这样的电影环境里，即便是春秋笔法也值得我们点赞了
野路金主聚八仙，记者侦探编剧本，过气男星万事和，烂片女星归来燕，山寨“加藤”怕鬼神，民国王晶艺术梦，新丁枪神摄影集；异族杀器刀客灭门三权贵，乱入法租界开膛手杰克；一边吊挂猎奇SM，一边控诉娱乐圈剥削女性；从《闪灵》到《窃听风暴》花样致敬，但最后就连旧社会犯罪题材也只能搬到南洋背景拍……借密室犯罪之壳乱炖大杂烩，缺憾不少，惊喜蛮多，挺会玩
除了个别台词、演技略显浮夸外，整体完成度还算高。起码让我全程看下来并没有想快进之意！哈哈哈哈只要没完全磨掉观众的耐心，电影就算成功了一半。
我们常要受害者勇敢 但让她们勇敢的同时也请保护好她们吧 可以是苏梦蝶在言语上的维护 可以是齐乐山的似真似假的故事 也可以是李家辉那伸出而又停下的手 （而且 我认真的 沉船的新闻我愿称之为全片top
首先是惊喜，然后是感动。惊喜的是能在院线看到这么一部剧作精巧、番底连翻的国产电影，足够的呼应、互文的元素，却又能基本不脱离三一律、舞台效果拉满，一定程度上放弃群像的人物深度刻画来实现的精彩故事，这是我最梦想能写出的剧本。 然后是有感叹于十几年前万合天宜这帮有才的年轻人，在拍了那么多只为了赚钱的网剧、烂片之后，还能有这样的才情、拍出这样的电影。这不是《如月疑云》，也不是《利刃出鞘》，更不是什么剧本杀电影，但这就是在这个优秀国产电影荒年里的久旱甘霖。
令人惊喜的是有对女性思考的部分，还有电影人的思考和良心部分。其他就中规中矩吧。
糙是糙了点，不过余皑磊说的那段台词时候还是很动容的。
除了不太像电影，其他各方面都还挺令人感到惊喜的，当然是作为一部导演长片处女作来说。
里面的几个角色正是社会上的各种人:资本家、艺术家、执政者、女性、中老年，还有作为一个少数族裔在海外的华人。他们的互动是隐喻，揭露了社会上残酷而现实的众生相。
在当下的电影创作环境里能够拍出这样的电影，不是在造垃圾，真的挺好的。
各种致敬各种梗。后面台词敏感度很高啊。如果去电影院我希望可以看的是这样的电影。
4.0星。以1940年代的上海为背景的阿加莎·克里斯蒂流暴风雪山庄本格推理，一众演员演技强悍，侦探形象秉承180年推理小说史的一贯传统。最近是推理迷过年吗，下个月《误杀2》还有惊天诡计，宣传海报上肖央坚定的眼神我特么直接给五星。
而且托lry的福白嫖去看了电影（还赚了五块）和lyl一起看的第一场电影🥳
这才是2021年最牛逼的国产电影好吧
牛啊！太他妈牛啦！本来以为撑死一场室内drama结果最后看得百感交集。编剧太懂我的点了，就知道是那句“掐灭火苗的人”，这不是什么年度神作，这个是和流浪地球一样进中国电影历史的作品
曲终人不散
