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.
追一下女主的电影。疫情下欧美医疗系统的紧绷资源不足，老人不是救助的首要，老了怎么办呢？？？疫情开始英联邦不建议公众戴口罩以此保证医疗人员需求🥲🥲收到了中国寄来的医疗物资😂😂结尾不仅仅是在控诉英联邦，对于自己无关的都视而不见
有人权的地方一直揭露和反思，假装把人当回事儿的地方只爱着急歌颂。
这个视角讲疫情挺不错的，拍的也不错，只是因为讲的是更英国的故事没能那么有耐心看。最后也是创作者抨击英国体制的落点，但这个片的视角确实值得借鉴。
难道只有戳伤疤的实话才叫正值，唱赞歌的实话就是洗脑？你们上纲上线的样子不也是像极了洗脑？
时代的一粒沙落在个人身上是座山。敢于质问勇于发声就是改变的开始。ps:几位主演全出生在利物浦，口音很正宗😂
利物浦的英语口音就是这样的吗我敲。。
电影还行。
2022 21
口音英语听着挺亲切就是有点费劲。
在经历了那些国家主旋律电影的情绪轰炸，以及极其粗制滥造的电影制作与电影技法强暴后。这90分钟的影像使我的情绪得到了格外的释放。浅焦影像的特写捕捉出了人物细小的情绪与长镜头下完整的人物状态都使我获得了美妙的观影愉悦感。相比那些电影之下，这些影像中的悲伤愤怒或喜悦都显得无比舒缓与平静。因此，那些粗制滥造给我带来的悲伤与愤怒，也在这90分钟里得到了舒缓的释放。
JC拍拍这些不就挺好的，别跟着某脑残混。口音又乡土又迷人。
明明有这么好的切入点来讲疫情，隔壁偏偏恶搞成丧尸剧就觉得讽刺。
这竟然是我第一次发现朱迪科默是个英国人………她的表演实在是太精彩了！疫情的时候我们在学校自隔，但因为生活在一个偏远的以老人和小孩及留学生组成的小镇，而我们又远离人群，所以对灾难中的一切只有透过社媒，当时听着这些difficult但volunteer 只有陪聊这样的有限的帮助，哎。希望疫情早日结束，and all struggling end.
外国爱拍困难，因为大路已经建好，只有困难太多的地方，才那么爱拍成功
五星的理由1 电影没有聚焦在疫情的主战场医院，而且选择了千千万万个疫情已经蔓延到但人类却束手无策的地方。五星的理由2 中间的一段长镜头，女主角在黑暗中孤立无援绝望得到处求助但是很遗憾事实就是这些人无暇被顾及或者说已经被放弃了，这样的场景是疫情刚刚爆发时无数个中国人的缩影。所有的镜头冷静又克制。
回忆起了疫情刚开始经历的那种恐惧，焦虑，紧张，孤独，无助，想逃。片子很纯粹很干净，它几乎再现了普通人会遇到的各种状况，是人性的真实反应。我们拍不了这样的片子，只能拍成主旋律家国情怀感动中国的献礼片。而我们只需要一点点真实的共鸣而已
这真的好棒，Jodie真的能演，中间她崩溃落泪我也忍不住跟着哭出来，后面在警车里对着镜头愤怒质问也是冲出屏幕的情绪，外加怼着脸还不时晃动的手持镜头，太有代入感了，面对人类历史上最严重的疫情，一个普通人是有多么无助
1.想反应国家对新冠的管理不当，然后并没有讲好。2.想表达护工的无助于绝望也没有到位，浅尝即止。3.男女主的感情线也很突兀。看完的我扑克牌脸…
Jo表演太精彩了！虽然故事简单，深度一般，但是本身就是写实电影，很勇敢！
利物浦的英语口音就是这样的吗我敲。。
