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.
两星半。朱迪科莫不错；演员没问题，疗养院的视角和切入点也不错；但叙事不过脑子，剪辑也是；
zf防疫低效 不当
影片非常松散，通篇才用了一镜一个场景的方式，其实在通过小说家的嘴表达着真实社会的面貌。广角镜头在美学上令人感觉是手机拍摄的，以至于构图美学基本只有书店外的那个机位比较好。这令我感觉影片还是缺乏全方位的技巧，镜头艺术性也很欠缺。
一封表面的情书蕴含着深层的自省，真羡慕洪的创作状态，希望未来我也能给我的金敏喜拍一部这样的电影
看完就感觉这个剪辑不会做转场 导致剧情看着都不太连贯 剧情细节也不够 情绪纯靠演员表演和台词输出 不是被忘了 是根本不在乎 最易感的人群也是在优先级里最先被剔除的人群 再配合着这几个月愈演愈烈的唐宁街聚会丑闻来看更加讽刺了 （终于有一部还能看的疫情相关电影了 看的是英国 想的全是武汉 情感是相通的 顺便呼唤Ricky回来写Derek3
看到他们的防疫措施我只觉得主角没感染都是主角光环
一部只属于创作者/小说家的电影，大量的对白宛如小说家书写的文字，看着枯燥，却食之有味。 小说家在日常聊天中寻找灵感，于是就有了学手语的情节，专注和喜悦的神情正是小说家在思考的证明。但更多的还是洪常秀的深思与执着，似乎想拍出更新颖更精彩的作者电影，却总是在不经意间宣告着电影的破功。（对白和长镜头确实是双刃剑，但个人还是给出褒义的评价） 或许跟《法兰西特派》同理，强调创作者在作品当中的个人烙印与特色体现，也注定有走向极端的风险。不过两者的存在都是褒义的，好看，有趣，细品自有真意在。
不满镜头的美感不够以及摄影的载体太过于刻意，看到最后发现洪根本不在意这点，而正是想表达忙于镜头下被拍摄的人和人之间真实的联系，偶遇、虚伪、亲密、友好聚会，拍电影和写小说背后的秘密是没人关心的，最后拍得成功与否也不是重要的，好像以上这些就是正是要表达的核。秀恩爱的满屏浪漫在击碎我的心，告诉大家“你们真的不重要，我有敏喜！”。
金敏喜演技太松弛了。收回打开电影前我说她不去演其他导演的片子是种浪费这句话，毕竟人家在电影里直接和所有这样想的人隔空对话：到底浪费什么了呢？干你屁事呢？
“小变态”演技肉眼可见的提升，无助绝望时的崩溃，保护善良的逃脱并自我隔离，对社会现实的反问...不是说我们的一股脑歌功颂德式作品不好，只是这样的醒脑作品更好。
我都没有想到我会这么喜欢洪尚秀的电影！！最后拍金敏喜的那段戏中戏如果没有煽情的背景音乐就完美了
小身材大作为的一个惊喜，看过的关于这场席卷全球病毒灾难的第二部剧情片。Stephen Graham再次印证了戏骨本色，让我已经养成只要他出演的作品必投入关注的习惯，Jodie Comer作为后起之秀也贡献了出众演技。大量近焦镜头结合推摇，可有效让演员发挥并营造一种切合主题的紧张感和压迫感。
随意中的拘谨
电影讲了一个小说家想要拍个贴近生活，故事自由发展的电影的故事。 所以这个电影就是小说家拍出的结果?
疫情下的生活不易，很虐心很治愈的观影体验。“小变态”朱迪科默演技不得了，基本上是素颜出镜吧，几次情绪上的爆发太让人心疼。影片以小见大，细节做得非常真实可信，与《中国医生》完全相反的路子，更突出个人，小环境
两星给敢于拍出这部电影的导演
这个世界上终于有人把镜头中的爱和现实的爱结合得不漏痕迹并展现给世人了
89分钟转彩色。朴素自然。她冲出来，不快。黑屏。漫长的黑屏。
洪常秀的自我表述与公开示爱，个人不太喜欢。
评分那么高我却完全无感。应该是剧本不行，啰嗦。看在主题好的面子上给三星。20分钟弃剧。
