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.
故事的议题比较老套，故事拍的也不够干净利落，女主有好几场戏都太耍帅了。。
除了演技之外，不知所以然的一部电影！讲的乱七八糟！
昨天才看了她的生死时速，还很靓丽，今天再看这部感觉是俩人了。
立意还行但是女主演技太差，剧情也不丝滑，浪费我时间
印度所需要的觉醒，远远不止一个星期四。
我相信，有时候，我们需要一些走极端的人，因为他们会让那些walk free的人产生惧意。全片的悬疑感营造得很不错，尤其是最后司机的反转，让一切疑点顺理成章，给了女主的动机一个合情合理的解释。
苏州疫情下的观影•第9部
含而不露的演出，但一切尽在不言中，真厉害。
本身电影是有瑕疵的，但不妨碍正义的力量。在印度，每16分钟就有一个女性被强奸😭！可悲的是，强奸犯没有重罚，印度女人没有任何依靠的保护。一个人沉默，一群人沉默，每一次的装聋作哑，带了更多无止境的伤害。
“幸福的秘密是自由，自由的秘密是勇气。”
像韩影那类意义大于电影本身的电影，聚焦印度的社会问题，新闻媒体和官僚体制的探讨也只是浅层次的，更多是女性的控诉，以及这一控诉也因为前奏过长而显得无力，结局更是过于理想化了。角色必须伟光正的规则也使得影片走向了模式化的类型片，没有被逼入绝境的疯狂似乎就失去了批判的力量。当影像之外的观众没有看到行为只听到了枪响，也就等于把真相告诉了观众，因此展开的情绪是多余的，这也是电影的局限性。
如果將妹妹改為女兒，感受上會更加虐心，但故事設定的基礎本身就缺乏合理性，所以是妹妹還是女兒就無所謂了。
也许不够优秀，却是专属印度的电影。
而是英语
我们还在自嗨，笑话印度是个神奇的国度呢，呵呵。
以看似支离破碎的时间线穿插，逐步道出争相，桑德拉这回全程落魄，扮演负罪之人，被世人所不理解，甚至谩骂殴打，也调侃体制笑话，悲叹命运颠沛，简单的故事让导演的手法烘焙的更有看点，曲折乃至深刻，但本身文本回转欠缺，惊喜度大打折扣，只凭一己之力演技支撑，复仇那条线本来也很鸡勒，线里的出轨段落更狗血，总归，一切一切的一切，只为让血缘关系的重新交错，跋山涉水的努力靠近，只为结尾那一次轻轻的拥抱，熟悉又陌生，疏离又亲切，模糊的记忆瞬时清晰可见，牵盼的人就在一线之间，对角色最好不过的关照和慰藉，难能可贵的是，如此克制却又如此动人。★★★
死刑就能遏制强奸吗？从法律的角度讲，未必，但是强奸这事必须得到重视，女性的地位和权益需要提升和保护，虚构的故事，直戳残酷的现实！
苏兰琼斯的英版也很赞啊。。。。编辑是 sally wainwright
最后的字幕:在看这部电影的期间，有8个女人被强奸。。
整部电影如此真实的设定，不得不让吃瓜群众深思中心思想到底是个啥？doge
