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.
感觉片子的节奏还是挺稳的，只是有些场景我是觉得真的惊悚。
资本主义国家的资本家真难当。裁员双倍补偿都不行，员工站在工厂门口示威，毫无办法；关心员工家庭生活，不仅要给员工游手好闲的儿子解决工作，还要带着员工一起抓奸；严厉批评完门卫之后还得屁颠屁颠跑去道歉；好不容易潜规则了个实习生，发现还是世交的女儿。这些在社会主义的资本家面前，根本不是个事。。
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
黑到底，嘲笑到底，虚伪到底，把伪善的人和纯良的人全部讽刺了一遍。表面清清白白良好模范企业家，高贵邀请函随手送人。你把我当兄弟，我当成你女婿。《同学麦娜丝》丧礼变选举会，后有丧礼变员工鼓励大会。纯良的混混无辜惨死，产品的检验红毯走秀。博弈的资本是我有钱的爹，有钱能双手遮天，没钱就只能充当儿子认人做爹啦。JB演活了这个虚伪，油腻的形象，赋予了他一丝无奈幽默，明明很讨厌这个角色，但就是恨不起来。一直在想中国翻拍会不会很适合，不会的，压根不存在的～
劇情很一般，Bradley Cooper蠻有魅力的，兩位女主跟之前的角色太相似了，Cate Blanchett還是演大魔王，Rooney Mara還是演小白兔，沒有什麼驚喜突出之處。。。
怪不得库珀露点也要接这部片，这剧本太优秀了
#22#16场景服装造型都很出色的翻拍…只能说在如今这个年代，三位大女主被神棍渣男霍霍结果相互之间还都只有点头之交的电影立场就有那么点危险⚠️。最后隔着厕所门忽悠Molly那段对话看得我自我反省…人还是要有自知之明，无尽的欲望总有一天会反噬
看的时候觉得是个很老派的故事，有种特别的冷酷和直接，原来是翻拍的片子……现在的黑色故事反倒充斥着矫情和虚伪。电影水平非常一般，库柏演得还不错。但是男演员健身过度本体先于角色的存在真的不是啥好风气😑
没看过1947年的老版。这版中的30-40年代的美国，从技术层面上，摄影、美术、服化道都很有年代感且精致。影片演员阵容强大，但是时长着实是一个硬伤，且不说看过老版和了解故事的人，即使第一次看也会觉得节奏过慢，铺垫太长。过长的铺垫和缓慢的节奏一般都是为了给结尾意想不到的惊天反转增加爆发力，可惜影片前期给出了大量的线索，即使stan在经历了一切之后变成了开始自己眼中那个最“可怜”的人，这样的结局并没给观众带来多大的意外，反而觉得是意料之中的事。不过娓娓道来的故事，沉下心来看，后劲会比较大。stan是一个有梦想的“聪明人”，在跨越阶级追逐梦想的路上聪明反被聪明误，被自己的自信和野心所蒙蔽，沦丧了道德，慢慢成为自己最了解也最可怜的人。即使是《马戏之王》巴纳姆，在当时人的眼中也不过是个“戏子”。三星半
【我通灵，却只看到自己荒唐的野心】
和老版差不离，连男主选角都一样油腻（颧骨高光）
没看过原版 但黑白版效果拔群 演员阵容也太惊人了 光影运用也是精妙 很多抽烟点燃火柴的光源 人物初登场头顶灯 面部全黑的打光 极为舒适 还有摊牌阶段的眼部打光 镜头方面 最开始Lilith和Stan室内那场戏 镜头语言超级细腻 Lilith的过肩镜头 显得Lilith更渺小 问到法官时 权力调转 Stan变成了过肩 影片开场就是以人还是野兽这个疑问开始 当人类想充当上帝 改变他人命运时 却忘记自己也在那宿命之中 当然源起于欲望 Stan的“Never”就像是想避免一切跟父亲的联系 然而他却没有逃脱自己的宿命【PCC - Oscar Nominees】
不过这当然不能说电影不好看，这个卡司和制作团队在，再郁闷遗憾也不会是烂片的。尤其剧本本身就很好。只是太长了，真的太长了。第一部分的杂戏团的一小时完全可以浓缩成半小时的内容。所以这么一想，如果拍成电视剧，也许反而会更有看头——陀螺影片的美术本就无话可说，剧集保持电影感，拍成五六集最后的迷你剧，会很不错。可当最后的注意力终是回归于故事本身的时候，就还是觉得欠了点什么。
Not my cup of tea....
比我预期要好，但是前半段发家史实在太、太长了至少可以缩短三分之一。首尾呼应有宿命轮回之感，高潮部分有些强行让我一度觉得是男主业务能力不行导致的。怀念潘神时期的陀螺btw再次感叹凯布太适合这种很攻的角色
“他”还没出生就杀死了自己的妈妈，他正青壮年却杀死了病卧在床的爸爸，每个人无论男女或多或少都和自己的父亲母亲有矛盾，不过即使再有恨意，上天也不会原谅你做了泯灭人性的事。想要重新开始，即使继续生活的很成功，上天安排的报应早晚也会来的。有些人天生就是“怪人”，有些人是后天“被逼”成怪人，无论怎样都是人性的黑暗面。陀螺的电影依然保持了自己独有的怪异特色，只是这一部确实有点冗长了，马戏团的戏过多，总时长控制在两个小时差不多合适。
竟然鲁尼和大魔王没搞姬，那这片子拍出来又有什么意义呢？
为什么不是魔兔联手玩男人？不过那也不是什么新点子了。比如马特狄龙经验丰富，当年玩过也被玩过

画面类型片，美是真心美，主黄蓝对撞的光感一绝（办公室和铁囚笼两处尤其明显 / 通过缩小光圈来切镜的复古手法 / 雪夜里冲撞在漫天鹅毛与钢筋骨架之间的逃命小黑车 / 游乐园相关场景的美术设计是极致梦幻的，远景一拉，lights sprinkled in the wild are already telling the story / delicate lonely strikes of piano key / 比起这乏味的故事，本次的观影同伴以及老板针对他的lash out反倒有意思得多得多呢
