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.
给砂糖加一星吧。题材可，但无法感同身受。犯罪剧情也很老套，叙事流于表面……
这个世界
极其boring，and歌巨难听，从头到尾十几首都一个调调。
节奏不说，角色很有张力，隐匿又隐匿不住的悲伤，愤怒和柔软，让回味又长了些。
听过无数遍OBC，看过不知道多少遍枪版剧场，反倒在电影栽了跟头。所有经典的歌曲唱段显得所有角色都不会说人话，只能靠唱。唯一不难受的就只有《You Will Be Found》的片段，但基本也是照搬的音乐剧原有的设计。Pasek & Paul的创作虽然好，但也不是各个都能拍成《LaLa Land》，当年的《SMASH》也没有这么尬，只能说导演功力太差了……
改编算是及格，虽然故事被简化了不少，但核心保留了。DEH本就是近几年少有的比较深刻的戏，其直面死亡与秘密，全戏几乎所有的感人画面都来自于谎言，Best case，已经在戏中呈现，可是大多数情况下，死亡依然孤寂，秘密则永远被埋葬。Ben、摩尔的表演很精彩，妹妹的饰演者也逐渐成熟了。虽然是无法进剧院的解渴之作，但还是要感慨，电影比起戏剧来。能呈现的内容实在少太多了，正如戏剧与文学相比时一样。
致那些应该是导演想说的有着因果联系两类人，影片题材真实，写实刻画的真切，中规中矩…
福岛大地震之后的日本福利机构的一些行为，反映了日本福利的现状和治理问题所在，也从另一方面可以学习日本在处理灾后的应急措施。
相比摩尔我觉得艾米的表演更有力。虽然主演已经没有少年感了，但是感觉好莱坞的服道化还是很给力的。唯一可惜的是观众如果没法共情，就会觉得emition manipulative
披着一些悲情外皮的悬疑故事，太浅了，虽然全员演技在线
很深刻的题材，演员也都不错，但整体节奏把控不是很好且没拍出深度。不过疫情下看看有的地方还是能够感同身受的。
意识到了影院的感染力和电脑屏幕的不同，我在小荧幕看必无动于衷，但放在大荧幕上我还是挺能进入故事并共情的。但是这些歌的套路也太雷同了一点，旋律也没有记忆点，连洗脑都做不到作为音乐剧电影无疑是失败的。最大的毒点是男女主唱完only us说互相喜欢，然后东窗事发就没有然后了，还有更笨比的剧本吗？我以为起码有个重归于好，没想到整成相忘于江湖了，这个点能毒我三天。
我只是觉得Evan很creepy，甚至有成为连环杀手的潜质。
非常多熟悉的演员，没想到艾米和摩尔阿姨会以这样的角色出现在同一部电影里。个人感觉这个题材和电影本身的社会意义要大于剧情。原本看不进去歌舞剧的我在高中校园的剧情包装下也看完了，虎头蛇尾是最大的感觉，明显越到后面越崩了。
意外得改编得还不错，原作歌曲删减了不少，不过在剧情方面有所弥补，相较音乐剧(尤其是下半场)顺畅了很多，结尾部分尤其。再次在剧院听到You Will Be Found还是非常地感动，一下子把我带回到多年前在宽街看DEH的夏天。有这份感动加成，对于电影也多爱了几分。
是绝望之声，也是希望之声，那些逝去的或者被遗忘之人的故事，有在被讲述，被关注，也有在因此而改变着一些地方。
乱七八糟的叙事，半小时多都没看懂在讲啥，要不是佐藤健半张脸在泥水里说台词，早就关了🚬
卡司超強的一部片呀，最後的反轉感覺猜到了又好像沒猜到…..缺點就是寬叔演刑警角色不自覺都會自動帶入加賀，跳不出來呀🤣🤣 (然後佐藤健短髮挺好看的)
不太喜欢看佐藤健演这种小人物，他还是适合演一些B- King角色，和之前《一夜》一样，他演这种角色有种说不出的怪，看人的眼神好凶恶（虽然演的也不是坏人）。
本来很深刻的题材结果出来的效果恍若死水，演员和导演都有点问题。
