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.
干净，凝炼，非常小的切角，抛弃大场面，专注于一场小战斗，有感染力，最有感受的是展现了情感的柔软和生命的脆弱。
故事很简单，场景也很简单，整个故事的取景范围都很小，但是故事很完整，不搞宏观视角，只搞具体到个人，有点《127小时》内味儿，老谋子精力真是够旺盛的，不愧是国师。不过影片里还是有不太合理的地方，比如对狙时稍微露出点破绽都能打中，怎么不停用望远镜探头观察的时候一点事没有，以及最后片段仅剩一人，东跑一下西跑一下放冷枪时，敌人突然降智了？刘文武说的大永眼快手快被镜头不停切换给直接糊弄过去了，不太有说服力。电影可以看看，但是也不至于接近8分的水平，也许都是靠同档期的同行衬托吧。
看到最后是有些动容想哭，挺奇怪，因为全片也不是特别煽情，可就是能调动起情绪，不得不夸一句功力深厚。
建议所有执着于拍3个小时的导演们都学学怎么在96分钟里讲完这么完整的故事，影片本身水准还是很高的，国师拍出了属于他的冷枪热血。
编剧、导演缺乏军事常识。我引用别人的一段评论“按照影片的交代，刘文武是一位非常有经验的老战士，但是，他在执行这一任务时却显得十分外行，一开始就犯了致命的错误。
非常喜欢——每个角色都非常真实，他们除了是战士，是志愿军，更是父亲，是丈夫，是兄弟，镜头给那些被标注以“英雄”的人，雕刻了最生动的注脚。最不知名的小战争下，有最闪光的人性。张艺谋，很棒，一如既往。
对于我来讲，故事讲得完整，却不精彩。
喜欢双方对狙的拉扯博弈。
比照2020《一秒钟》，2021《悬崖之上》，这部依旧是擅长的以小见大&人物群像，导演早已在艺术和商业中完成了自洽，给予了符合大众期待且易于理解的呈现。叙事扎实不贪多，群像人物分成几组，各有交代，画面故事感十足，片尾曲潸然泪下。故事原型在现实中善始善终，也很安慰。
中国好儿女齐心团结紧
这部电影讲述的是在大战事背景下的小故事，用以激励当下年轻人的爱国情怀，更需要牢记历史，居安思危的前瞻意识。或许，只有年轻人们越来越爱国，才会压下来自外部的“和平演变”，需要一个强大的国家作为后盾，没有武力作为支撑，何以保家卫国，无国，何以为家。
无法想象，总有人甘愿为国家和人民的安定付出所有，包括生命。
四星半。完成度很高，整体十分出色的一部战争题材影片。几个主要角色塑造都很完整，故事情节很简单，没有太过复杂、宏大的背景，更像是在讲一个少年在战场上的淬炼与成长。电影的结局是惨烈的，五班只剩下一人存活，但结果的确又是成功的，情报得以传递，任务圆满完成，只可惜，那些牺牲在无名山头的青少年，永远无法踏上回家的路了。
看的早场8点10分的（白天只有这一场），张艺谋拍的不错，现在电影也就只有国师敢用全新人的演员了，拍的挺感人，故事也挺紧凑，演大永的陈永胜可以，里面另一个小年轻挺帅（不知道叫啥名字），张译是客串（帮助新演员挺好）。电影里3次点名的情节确实前后呼应。
张艺谋中规中矩的电影已经比《长津湖》高出一个level，章宇还是跟着这样的导演拍片比较好。比较不能接受的两个点，一个是子弹打出时的特效反复使用，实在夸张，另一点是最后单枪挑坦克过于魔幻。最打动人的台词是美国大兵的那句话：Skum the war! Skum you!
现实更精彩，张桃芳没受过伤
剧本还有硬伤。
PS:⑴《最冷的枪》无论从艺术性还是商业性上都更契合本片，不知道为啥改名、困惑…
故事原型:张桃芳
把廉价得令人不寒而栗的煽情彻底工具化了。挥之即来呼之即去，没有什么比这更不尊重人的了
