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.
看完剧的我天啊,带着看美的眼睛看它吧!命运之轮,角色有灵魂.太耀眼就可以以念念不忘.“徒劳”一词贯穿全剧
高桥这次的演技有些让我失望，更像21世纪涩谷街头的冷面杀手，还患有面部抽搐和冷冻症，和另外的主角站在一起还以为是穿越过去的旁观者，一些小说里的经典场景也没有拍出让我心荡神摇的感觉，总体不合预期。
男主长得太洋气了，加上有大量的心理独白，给人的感觉就是男主更像是戏外的说书人，而非角色本身。
藤本有纪把驹子的日记补充以后，行男和驹子变成了这个故事真正意义上的主人公，岛村成了排解寂寞的替代品和解谜的工具人。奈绪光芒四射，单主一生君真.绿叶，高良健吾强势打酱油，那一脸人畜无害的憨笑也难怪驹子无悔付出一切。
第一次没有给高桥的片子打五星，老公滤镜也拯救不了的那种。原片三星半，多给高桥半星。片子确实拍的挺唯美的，但故事完全没有讲明白，驹子和叶子的友情，岛村是不是喜欢上了叶子，驹子疯了还是没疯，都着笔太少了
有一些改编不太喜欢，司马辽太郎应该不会这么写，大概是导演编剧跟庆喜有仇把他写的那么夸张？平助不是土方砍死的，池田屋杀阵好敷衍，是我看过所有新选组有池田屋场景最敷衍的一个版本，山崎烝的话痨，乡下版土方小碎步的走路方式总觉得很不土方，总之导演刻意要加一些喜感的元素反而很画蛇添足，局长
红色的火焰，白色的雪，黑发的古典美女，再加上文艺男附体的益生菌。
看片的时候，一直回想当年读小说时自己心里的想象，然后两相对照，看差别在哪里，又自己当初为何会形成那样的想象。
粮仓为何发出销魂异响？
只能说是文本影视作品吧，导演也并没有在镜头语言上下功夫。选角我觉得蛮好啊，不然还能找谁演呢你说。一般般，但可以更好的只能说。
既然如此，那就为着自己心中的念想放手一搏吧。这大概是存在于世最后的意义。
快结束的时候 前排老哥大笑一声 我们也没忍住 紧接着 整个影厅都充满了快活的空气
如果你太爱一个人，你会发疯的。
看完就有凄惨的美的感受。
A24的品质看来也是层次不齐，热衷于惊悚片倒是真的。相较于《仲夏夜惊魂》素色静谧的影像氛围，这一部反其道而行，完全依靠调色来渲染，血腥程度也没有退步。拿性说事，这一部还算触碰到一些新颖的思考，老龄化边缘化，身份认同与存在的意义等。参加过两次世界大战的霍华德，海军陆战队退伍改行男优的科森，两人的类比有点意思，一位力有不逮，一位执着于情爱之外的性交。斧子劈门经典桥段又被拿来玩了一通，那片湖泊戏不知是不是从瑞典电影《边境》里抄来的。剧作模式及结构早已被用烂，表演也无甚亮点。
花季少女为何屡遭黑手？
驹子爱的太悲哀了，电影后面那段日记叙述让人忍泪不禁。女人啊，真是感情的俘虏。真是徒劳啊......
对七八十年代虐杀cult片的致敬，像是德州电锯杀人狂和十三号星期五的结合体，黄片摄制组的设定也是很有嬉皮腔调，前面基本就是危险预警，鳄鱼袭来和脚踩钉子这种都是初级段位，最劲的还是虐杀者身份的反差感，鲜血染红车灯，老妇翩翩起舞，这还真不愧是A24。与血腥场面相比，还是衰老的肉体更为惊悚，衰老肉体还想大搞特搞那更是惊悚得无以复加了。
