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.
LCF没有这么可怕，Soho没有这么可怕，伦敦也没有这么可怕 LOL。Diana Rigg这个60年代的象征演60年代的杀人者再合适不过了。
逐渐不行，一片大火烧个干净。你们伦敦soho区可以少个10001次。
看得揪心且无趣，现实与过去穿插的情节，为啥我每次都想快进⏩
3. 铅黄不像铅黄，饱和不够，格局太小。
乡下来的怀揣梦想潜力大学生为了远离婊子室友租住在一个满是冤魂的伦敦老房间里，完整经历了一场想要成名最后被迫堕落的历程，感觉人生丰富了许多。本来只想给两颗星，多一颗星给靓妞。
以恐怖悬疑片的形式，来包装一个怀旧片，满片的六十年代歌曲，像极一个大MV。而贯穿全剧的各种元素，就是一部可笑的大杂烩，更是令人生厌。片中有一句台词还不错：旧时代伦敦的味道，已经渗透到每一堵墙壁之中。确实。
复古的不是女主，是创作者自己，它们嘲讽对象风韵的十分之一，都比它们自己的“创见”有价值得多。
精神病人欢乐多，2个女主还是喜欢的，可惜后半段不知道讲了啥，为神经而神经。
3.5 借当代小镇青年的都市vintage怀旧乡愁的壳讲了一个男性视角下的女性题材故事，意思就是复古和女性主义都没有处理好，导致了前半段和后半段叙事的割裂，不论是60s的SOHO/男性凝视/女性互助/小镇和城市的互动都显得十分悬置，尤其是最后的和解和男性忏悔，不还是以男性气质去形容女性吗……不过伦敦处处有鬼魂还是很有意思
可能人需要走出舒适区才能发现自己还是需要待在舒适区里。这部电影埃导做了很多不一样的尝试，放弃了很多自己的特点，结果变得平平无奇。以及男导演塑造女性角色能写好得确实不多，都要靠配角衬托，还有很多想当然的东西。很想告诉埃导，不会拍女的就别拍了，跟胖胖瘦瘦一起玩不好吗？
画面和构图兼具美感和冲击感，多处巧妙的运镜和适配的歌舞音乐都是极致的视听享受，同时复刻上世纪六十年代星光璀璨，弥漫耀眼的时尚歌舞圈，故事核心却是一个极具悲剧性的主题，充满巨星的梦想但只能在无尽的现实牢狱中一遍遍重复阶层的欲望侵害，这个社会不是靠自己却是靠关系。可惜这个故事还是不够精彩，后期的反转不算震惊，警察角色的单薄和不够自洽的人物行为逻辑，不过依旧展示了一个很有野心的电影风格，埃德加赖特始终是我很欣赏和喜欢的导演，两位女主也是全片的亮点之一，安雅饰演这种风情美艳具有人性特色的角色真是再合适不过了
没导演本身风格那味了，不知道是不是为了电影风格妥协。
形式感作的挺好的，文本山上的努力能看到成效。艺术指导也充分发挥了年代特色。技术艺术表达都完成度很高。
你们不要对埃德加赖特要求这么高嘛……拍的没什么问题，他一直都是在拍这种东西啊，只是机巧的情节就是没劲，但国产电影里不都想做这种机巧还做不到嘛……
快到结尾时简直不知道该站死魂灵还是Sandie(゜-゜)
缺点演员演技真的烂 导致人物扁平化 不太能代入情绪 为了政治正确强行搞个伟光正的黑人男友真的呵呵了 跟影片风格特别不搭 关键是你找个帅点的也行了 这个真的一言难尽
啊？？？？？？这…………这怎么解释？我还以为是命运共同体，还以为是她的“妈妈”，结果只是房东婆婆…那她是怎么回事呢？就是能看到幻像？只能看到这一个人的故事？所以你是精神分裂？这怎么解释？？？
電影本身實在是中規中矩的一般，再扣一星給這個自以為是的反轉結局吧，就是說明明過去的事看到了那麼多，怎麼偏偏最重要的事情完全看反了呢？除了導演唬我故意想反轉外，我實在找不到合理的解釋。然後這部片的視角也實在無法讓人輕易代入，不是一個能夠得到大多數人共鳴的片子。而且稍微有一點小題大做，這種60年代的悲劇應該上演了無數次，怎麼女主看到被嚇成那種鬼樣子，真的是有些沒有見過世面的既視感，反應很過激，而且最後所有男人在那求救也很好笑，就有什麼好求救的呢，真的是令人莫名其妙。對了，最後結尾那三件新設計的衣服還不如原來那三件，更別說原來那三件也挺普通，有時候看還以為女主是大肚子，腹部鼓起的很厲害
看得揪心且无趣，现实与过去穿插的情节，为啥我每次都想快进⏩
前面好于后面，视觉比较出色吧，光影绚丽转场华丽，略带伤感和小惊悚，没有惊喜。
