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.
用歌舞片来叙述一个比较老派的故事，技法上的新意还可以，但是关于主线的情绪的渲染显得相当空洞。一部歌舞片，不仅仅是在形式上尤其是动作上感染观众，更需要给出一种更加有说服力的表达。想要看到与众不同的人物，而不是循规蹈矩的完全为情节服务的对象。
因为被那样美好的你爱着，镜子里的我才如此美丽。因为在舞会遇见美丽的你，高楼上的我才停止坠落。爱需要诚心祈祷，令平庸枯燥的生命变得充满意义。爱可以攀上窗台，让平凡无奇的世界变得星光璀璨。爱会经受不同肤色的火拼，不同帮派的殴斗，经受仇恨的枪射出的荒唐子弹，在鲜血染红的盐厂上永不消亡。
斯皮尔伯格的任性之作，估计除了他没有任何电影公司会为这个赔本买卖买单，翻拍了一部不属于这个时代的电影，男女主角毫无魅力，剧情也十分拖沓，略失望
警察对女主说“哥哥被杀了，你一定很难过吧？”的时候，我差点没笑出来。男女主表演和歌舞太糟糕了！男主从头到尾就一个表情！最后被毙了竟然有一股莫名的爽感！影片的舞美、摄影、服装都很出彩，尤其是一众百老汇配角们的精彩歌舞秀，Anita最出众，原版Anita的出演也是惊喜。当作是斯皮尔伯格对心中经典的一次任性的致敬就好；有些片段改的还挺有趣，但总体就是一副华丽的皮囊。倒也没期待能拍出什么花样来，so除了男女主以外，基本符合预期。还有Talia Ryder到底演谁？找半天没找出来……
烈士暮年 壮心不已！老斯皮尔的电影技法还是可以的。
又一个技术层面上好莱坞顶级水准的代表，好是确实好但没有打满分的欲望，翻拍永远绕不过的坎就是不符合时代进步的老故事和价值观
小哥俩抢枪的那段明明是大晴天，为什么有一种倾盆大雨的既视感。6
调度和美术真的是超一流，群戏的俯拍太到位了，伯恩斯坦的音乐也不消多提。就是男主怎么看怎么像trust fund kid，演贫民黑帮混混一点说服力都没有….女二Anita全片最佳，开头拉丁热舞绝赞，拜倒在姐姐的裙摆下！跟原版相似度大概有7.5成吧，唯一惊喜的改动是在Isabella Stewart Gardner博物馆里演了私定终身戏，彩色玻璃窗折射的光线打在脸上非常好看。
感觉是一锅乱炖，看的时候总觉得是在看罗朱，但男女主之间又没啥化学反应，除了歌舞还不错，别的真的是灾难。觉得就是有很多东西要讲，但也什么都没讲出来，一场热闹过后，就各自散去了。
对原版音乐剧乃至上一版电影都谈不上有多大的好感，个人心目中最佳的《西区故事》或者说“罗密欧与朱丽叶”的现代演绎还得属费拉拉的《中国女孩》，而在现如今这一版的正反打镜头中甚至还出现了穿帮，但即便如此还是为斯皮尔伯格的执念所打动，到了这个位置与年龄，任何一个在创作上依然保持善良与纯真的童心的导演，都难免开始回想自己的年轻时代，对斯皮尔伯格来说，对过往的怀念不仅仅是《西区故事》，还有《无因的反叛》、詹姆斯·迪恩与马龙·白兰度等等，于是观众并非只是看到了一部翻新的老作品，更是看到了其中属于一代人记忆深处的美好，他们将曾经的梦在当下还原，分享自己的喜悦外也再次播撒下启蒙的种子，而我们发现明年斯皮尔伯格的新作叫做《造梦之家》，讲述的是他的童年。舞会斗舞、废屋夺枪、仓库对决三场戏最为惊艳，女主表演太差了。
都说情节太平淡没有波澜起伏，个人觉得这种生活就是平淡的，像温水煮青蛙一样，像不知道何时会开枪的子弹一样。
鏡頭、調度、美術、燈光、節奏都超水準，目不睱給。第一個鏡頭已經展示實力，絕對沒有毀經典，有些位置甚至比舊版好（最明顯的超越在Officer Krupke一曲)，且比舊版更重羅密歐與茱麗葉的意味。若要挑剔，唯有說大多數角色臉譜化（Talia Ryder只有兩場戲的確讓人有點失望）。電影主題談移民和歧視，而且大大加重Trans角色戲份，在現代電影史中有標杆作用。若來年在奧斯卡最佳導演、最佳美術，甚至最佳電影有收獲我不會意外。
老斯的场面调度驾轻就熟，看下来整体感觉很流畅，火箭帮的青蓝色与鲨鱼帮的红黄色猛烈碰撞，但这个原本就有很多缺陷的故事，在没有火花的两位主角的诠释下更是让人难以下咽。Rachel还是出色的，音色很漂亮，差在Ansel实在不适合来演音乐剧，唱不好形体也笨，完全是种走错片场的格格不入。今年女配非常大概率就是Ariana的了，全场最佳最抢眼。
翻拍嘛，情节的事就不归导演管了
他/她们在对话的同时在歌唱，他/她们在斗争的同时在舞蹈，他/她们在享受激情的同时在承受苦难，多么的理所当然却又难以置信！正如歌舞片的《西区故事》是电影的同时是一首音乐，是一场舞蹈一样。斯皮尔伯格让观众重回古典好莱坞，并让人们再一次确信，电影必须是关于爱的艺术。
2.5 再厉害的导演也救不了这么一个脱离时代而老套的故事。
其实评分这么低的原因很好理解，因为这不像电影，更像是一部舞台剧，所以很挑受众。
西区故事完美复刻了黄金时代的歌舞片，直到俩位主角出现… 俩大头短腿娃娃的身材被专业音乐剧演员完爆，看到安塞尔的肥腿在我面前不停晃时真恨不得冲进去给他来一针瘦腿针。难看也就算了，不会唱也不会演，镜头一切到他们就像误入了网飞的粗制滥造青春片现场。谁来给我搞个换头换声版啊……
一部非常'美國'的電影，不論是百老匯原著或'波多黎各人vs.(貧民)白人'的衝突，都考驗觀眾對於文化和歷史的了解 (以及西班牙語聽力…30%西語對白無字幕)… 片尾打上'ForDad'，可見其中藏著Spielberg的私人記憶及情懷… 但就電影本身來看，群戲調度/燈光/攝影/美術等技術面還算可以，表演(尤其男女主)和劇情就一言難盡了 (如果不是因為'羅密歐與朱麗葉'的故事原型，單看這個文本 女主就是個傻白甜'戀愛腦' 讓人很難共情…)… 相比LaLaLand或Annette(近年比較受到影展肯定的歌舞片)，音樂和舞蹈層面，也不算出彩 (舞臺劇粉輕噴)… 156分鐘體感3小時以上… (松仁威秀Titan廳)
前半段过于糟糕。这个电影的调色真的是瞎搞。服装过于混乱。作为歌舞片甚至歌舞也很一般。失望。
