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.
有着这近些年名人传记片的通病，拍得稀碎毫无重点，相比同型的《Judy》和同期的《里卡多一家》本片遗憾在没有挖掘出打动人心的点。劳模姐Jessica Chastain凭借服化和演技奉献了“大变活人”的演绎。
妥妥的大女主戏，劳模姐以演技夺影后确实实至名归，靠个人别具一格的有趣风格建立起宗教电视网络传教布道，拥有博爱的精神，包容和尊重被传统教义排除在外的性少数群体，并让公众反思，以个人的财务隐私和性丑闻去丑化名人，取消他们一切的成就是否理性？不过剧情还是偏简单二元对立，不支持同性恋群体即反派？还是过于zz正确了
堪称为劳模姐冲奥量身打造的传记片；中规中矩的独角戏
妆发的确值得拿奖。女主作为一个神婆，她为了自洽宁愿陷入宗教的深渊，而现代的电视传媒带来的流行文化消费主义只会让她越陷越深丧失本来的真我。同样是信仰者，我反而觉得女主母亲才是相对清醒的那个。完全不能理解这个文化背景，但是她为少数族群发声这一点但是能get到一点点。p.s.本电影搭配《娱乐至死》第八章观看效果更佳。
近两年的好莱坞真是太无聊了，净是这种为了奖项而生的人物传记片，请来一群商业片A咖拍出娱乐性极差无比的假文艺剧情片，最后收个小金人就算圆满了。作为观众真是2个小时就如坐针毡般的说没就没了。
整个的剪辑策略比近些年很多同类片高出好几个档次，是少数的能扎实输出感染力的那种片。劳模现在的表演方式无限趋近于梅梅了，层次和情绪全都是饱和的，代入了，就会打动你；理智思考了，就会觉得假
万万没想到Jessica Chastain也走上了模仿秀之路
和她的第60部电影
7分，影片最后的1/4才感觉有了魂，前面就像在看纪实文学，导演有点软，浪费了劳模姐的演技，这个演技不值一个奥斯卡吗我滴乖乖太会演了，加菲被比的快没了。加菲的演技问题在于演谁都是一个青春靓丽大男孩，说白了就是他自己，这个角色其实不太适合他。今年虽然他也提名（倒数时刻）了，但我觉得是这个角色适合他而已。
剧情太低龄化，主题曲好听，小叮当拿出任意门时还是好感动。（新丹尼斯奥斯卡影城）
看完我也没搞清楚为啥叫这个片名。上世纪七八十年代，美国最著名的电视布道者的故事。两口子可以说相见恨晚、一拍即合，表现型人格，而且极具表演能力，短时间就聚集了百万信徒，累积了巨额财富。后来因为贪得无厌、财务问题，夫妻俩也逐渐不合，再加上被对手设计陷害，丈夫锒铛入狱，妻子一贫如洗。电影拍得一般般，但是杰西卡·查斯坦演得太好，颁奖季可能会有不少收获。人物塑造得如此形象一方面是化妆的功劳，一方面是表演。杰西卡的表演与原型对比，十分相似，特别是那个标志性的笑声。

加菲怎么有点油腻的感觉，是我的错觉吗？
传教界的张庭林瑞阳，题材值得拍，但没拍好。
p.s.劳模姐贡献了一次整容级别的演技，的确是这届奥斯卡最有力的竞争者。
可以当了解一段创业故事吧，塔米菲这对夫妻开山怪挺强的，这般再次印证传奇来自相信相信的力量。还想起奥斯卡颁奖礼上，劳模姐上台致辞时候加菲温暖的眼神及相处可爱的姿态，感情真好，努力终得到认同，恭喜她收入影后桂冠。
看“信”会让看的人得到宁静，宗教的事还是很难说，有时愚蠢有时有趣，不过宗教学竟然还是二级学科，说明不信者依旧众多，或许是件好事，who knows，3.5
Jessica不停冲奖，但......迪士尼的套餐越来越多电影～
支持同性恋性少数群体的福音派基督徒？判120年刑的前夫又出来主持节目了？这都怎么肥四啊我晕。
一个女明星，本不长这样，却动手抢其他外形稍逊的胖女人的角色，把自己脸型贴成这样，极尽用力过猛之能事，拍这种showy但又臭又长完全不知所云的好粉丝类glamorous传记电影，就是为了骗那尊小像。之前有某位影后也有这种化妆抢胖子角色的新闻好在后来角色又交回胖姐儿手里人家获得了认可。没想到这种事会发生在自己喜欢的演员身上，制片的还是她自己鼓吹“为更多各色少数群体/女性提供平台”的公司。我只感觉虚伪与羞耻。【qrbt之王龟头小二真的不能看了，已产生生理不适，口区
