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.
今时今日，看到这样一部电影，真当过于合适了。一个良性社会，是要为最卑微的人强势托底，让他们别活活饿死在家中，拥有体面的生存方式，仅此而已。
有些类似《本杰明巴顿奇事》
割裂感严重的一部电影，前后反差之大，我虽然看不懂，但我大受震撼
估计简单，深刻，本来以为是偏探案题材，不过最后还说落在人情上，也算呼应了。突然发现日本老奶奶都非常和蔼。
背景和观点都不错，但故事太牵强了，怎么可能一小姑娘独立杀了两大男人，即使有电击枪。
最有槽点的就是最后开车撞货车还有苏和郭见面
全明星没能完成应该有的架构，灾后重建人心，但是无法治愈伤痕
悬疑部分被削弱到几乎没有。前半部分重点呈现的群戏也很没有必要，反而后半部分跳跃性叙事主线才是应该尽早呈现出来的东西。整体氛围实在是太苦大仇深了，沉闷压抑，拿腔捏调。是枝裕和常有社会性事件题材的故事，我们看他的电影却不会觉得目的性如此强烈，非常刻意地营造真事改编的氛围，让故事的艺术性和可看性双双削弱。
三星半。情节有些套路，警察像家贺恭一郎。然而，这种电影，我们也是不能拍的。我们创伤太多了，罄竹难书，但是不能说。
不同的人生，那到底什么才是那个人生分岔路的关键点。
4.0分，摄影还不错，表演可圈可点，但整体气质有些自恋，年代感区分全靠发型。
三星半，灾后重建、社会保障、弱势群体立意都在，只不过前部分和后部分有一点割裂，最后女主倒是挺出彩。
父亲去世后，丁萌萌拿自己实验这段有点离谱了。
后面采脐带血拉跨了，明明是常识，还有代孕😂
社会派大多相对而言悬疑感就会弱一些——这部看到一半就猜到了——还是要靠“背后的故事”来取胜。而这部背后的故事，大约就是震灾过后每个人内心深处的PTSD，好人与恶人并无清晰界限，守望相助的短暂幸福感可能也无法救人，霓虹社会保障制度的弊端。10年过去伤痕也不会消失，不同的人选择了不同的埋藏安抚方式。其他好像并没有被震撼到。
秋田alive theatre。大意了，以为《犬部》看懂了就敢闯社会悬疑片的场子，结果细节各种懵，还好剧情都能搞清楚。虽然海报c位给了佐藤健，但宽叔仍然是片里最大的咖。佐藤健的阴郁戏份表现极佳，劝圆山那里有点崩（不过人设突然拐弯，的确太难了）。林桑没有特别出彩的地方。有这样的片子背书，我有点担心保险料会继续涨…
宽宽也救不了啊。亲爱的导演啊，这是电影啊，不是话剧更不是汇报演出……
感觉导演根本没想好要讲311创伤还是低保社会问题，两头都蜻蜓点水，拍了个寂寞。
电影氛围感很足，七八十年代的北京医学院取景是我们学校哦，很漂亮！山东话听着也格外亲切。是19年我们大学毕业那年去拍的。王珞丹演的真好，人物拿捏的相当到位。剧中方言的几个片段也很幽默。这个片子让我想起了《本杰明巴顿奇事》那部男主是从老到小，女主到老送他走，这部是男主青春不变，女主也照顾到自己老。看了篇影评对故事的分析很好，说郭小鲁注射病毒之后就都是自己的幻想了，有理有据有细节，不过做的并没有让人感觉很自然而然。像《Burning》的结局就很耐人寻味，这两部也有异曲同工之处。
前七十分钟四星，后面崩掉的太离谱
