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.
最喜欢看索金在对白方面抖机灵，这部的索金太平淡了，放弃了自己的快节奏是索金取短补长了属于是，所有的缺点顺理成章被放大
一流编剧二流导演Sorkin跳出了舒适区，于是两方面都成了二流。
美国导演体制化后以后的众多顽疾之一 ——对世界无话可说无表达欲之下，只能一天到晚找各种题材改编，以至于当年戈达尔吐槽，拍个圣经故事都要找小说来改编。
2.5 这电影就是在各位演职人员的能力范围内做出的行活儿吧！好莱坞的那些破事早被拍来拍去拍烂了，不难看但也没什么新意.
时间线很混乱，叙事也平淡，就看看Nicole养眼吧
Sorkin一贯的大量对话台词妙语如珠。利用特殊化妆改变演员外型去贴近原始人物，不知道到底是好还是不好？形似而神似？
一个超级女杀手的模样，实际只是一个普通人，但也幸运地反杀成功，情节没看点，智能语音的聪明程度比车载语音还笨，女主是个黑人混血儿。
尼可基德曼，演的真好。Lucy is really a “tough,smart,funny woman”.she is deserve people’s respect,whatever as a actor,or as a woman.
剧本台词依旧有些许艾伦索金的风格，想有所突破但又是拍得流水账式的平稳，就成了演员表演和台词撑着，而且那条闪回采访的线显得故事混乱，索性放到开头或者结尾用来引出故事会更明朗。这类戏中戏/偏舞台话剧可能最喜欢的还要数冈萨雷斯那部《鸟人》吧。
看得很过瘾。而且这种90分钟的电影已经很少了，所以很珍惜。

“小杜小杜，说一下此片迷影到了哪些影史经典？”“后窗，姐妹情仇，窃听大阴谋，等到天黑。”……其实拍的并不好。各种传统惊悚元素组装得既显白又生硬。比如足不出户的心理问题，并没有表现在被迫外出后的精神萎顿或行动障碍，相反跑得比谁都欢！最后的翻天逆转在暴力层面上也是毫无铺垫莫名其妙……两星半。
3.5 索金还是在剧本上有一个一以贯之的问题，就是过于急迫的在一个故事里塞太多东西，政治、婚姻、女性声音这些放在一个故事中都很难说清楚，野心太大反而说得多而乱。妮可的表演是没有任何问题的，但是不得不说打针打得有点点过度了，有点可惜，她和巴登感觉是在两个轨道上，甜蜜的时候有点牵强，后面演分崩离析反而好一些。
美国早期情景喜剧实录，当下真人戏外采访和戏内叙事线相互穿插，戏里戏外关键元素互文携手向前。这是一部行业外的观众叫苦，有写作经验观众拍案叫好的非常规传记片，有些片段能顺便把我拉入写作状态，讨论研读剧本中加入具体画面真是神来之笔。全片的叙事线是由一次意外引发的一系列连锁反应，在故事的边边角角之处又顺带讲了女主一路从演艺最底层走到万众瞩目的经历。
几个感想 1.当今戏剧舞台上，除了“中国人”就是“美国人”，性格特征无需区分，立场必须明确。 2.艾伦索金对于文字的迷恋与玩弄，也算是编剧的原初创作力之一了，文字的所指与能指关系，哲学气息。 3.唯有在戏剧舞台上才能感受到感情的女主，倒也真是浪漫过头。 4.所谓演员，到底拥有多么恐怖的可塑性，可被完完全全的样板戏化，也可完完全全的被间离。
3.5 “i navigate male egos for a living, bud”
拍喜剧的演员说我们拍的又不是万尼亚舅舅，这部拍片场比滨口龙介拍得好玩多了。
用一种mv的方式轻松拍了一个很有隐喻意义的小故事，what keeps you at home is not Covid.

本质还是一个女权故事啦 层层叠叠的元素交织看的很爽 妮可演的真的很不错 真挚动人 于细节处见深度
