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.
越发想看原版 库珀我不想提 他不红是有道理的 你们凯特大魔王那段戏我看了两遍 惊叹于她与黑色电影里蛇蝎美人的完美融合 太迷人热烈了
最大的惊喜大概是cooper裸了，魔兔重聚其实也只是卡司相逢的幌子。大魔王的设定很好，最后的反转不过憋了口气要报复，很孩子气，但也合情合理。cooper最后一场戏的演技很绝，可也是仅限于此了。
陀螺陷入一种现代文明与魔术幻觉交接年代的情调的营造而不能自拔，这直接影响到故事本身和人物塑造，一手好牌打的稀烂。
你终究还是成为了你最憎恶的人，这是个nature vs nurture，最后nature大获全胜的故事？果然看这个的都看soho惊魂，果然大家一看就知道toro喜欢马戏团戏，毕竟谁又不喜欢呢，我本来还很期待马戏团戏继续下去呢…可惜，不过故事核心确实是不错的，实在是暗黑。
库珀真的长得不太聪明，但显然能够很有戏的凯特和鲁妮又少了很多戏，于是我不明白为什么要花两个半小时看这个傻大个早已注定的自找倒霉命运游戏
大魔王到底起了个什么作用？很多没有说明白的地方，表达的也比较隐晦。
Mister, I was born for it.
为了魔王和麻辣兔看的结果对手戏只有大概10秒。。。气得我回去又来一遍Carol @バルト９
3.5 看的是巴黎Max Linder影院上映的黑白版。此片适合黑白，比彩色好，有些惊艳。
缺的是爱还是恨
片名的翻译有些词不达意，究其原因还是剧情拖沓所致，想表达的东西很多，但最终还是沦为“猎奇”和“宿命论”式的平庸之作。
有点无聊 说起来我最近才知道Rooney mara和纸牌屋的Kate mara是亲姐妹
没有传说中那么糟糕，故事是圆乎的，就是布兰切特的角色从头到尾不知道动机是啥，就是个来推男主走剧情的——但谁又不是呢。陀螺的美术设计是永远值得欣赏的，不过这一部和科恩当年那个歌谣有一样的缺点：过于精致而玩具化又毫无个人风格可言。至于表演方面，除了布拉德利大男主能公关一下，剩下的大牌其实都没啥发挥空间。
Cooper演得太棒了。
7.3/10 第一幕过于冗长乏味，中后部分节奏跟上，我倒是有些看入迷，Stan的结局看似出乎意料，实则完成了我在电影开篇时对他的担忧，从这点来说他的命运是早已注定的闭环。
故事比较老套，结局中途就已经猜到了。有趣的元素很多，但最后呈现出的故事却有点无聊。心理医生的伤疤由来没有交代，老头究竟干过什么没有交代，pete的死到底是怎么回事没有交代。影片一开始的镜头就让人出戏，一个男人费力把一具用袋子装起来的尸体拖到屋子中间，翻进屋中间的坑里，然后……他点了把火把整个屋子烧了！？？？？你既然要烧屋子，你为什么还要挖坑，还要把尸体装袋，还要把它扔到坑里？？？你就直接点不就行了？
画面巨美，镜头巨好看，故事也凑合，但是…前后半段从哪方面来看都是完全割裂的啊！不过即使如此，我也为魔兔cp加一颗星。我太喜欢这种“干什么都没用最后还是走上宿命的失败”的主角了，大魔王这么解释这一现象：“What happened to you? ”“Life. Life happened to me.”
20220227ke。暗黑故事，贪婪与人性之恶。属于很老套的好莱坞叙事了，就是太长了，耐着性子看完还是觉得不错的，没那么差。3.5
都什么啊，拍得又长又啰嗦，每个人物都不值得可怜，感受不到情感…
前半段马戏团部分有让我想起小时候游乐园里看到过的畸形秀，长大后再也没有了。
