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.
我本来是想给三颗星的，因为影片很会糊弄观众，只要奢华的场景、服装设计、摄影、特效到位，就能忽略其他问题，但是，我偏不，而且外景特效也太假了。
故事就那么回事吧，能猜到凶手没猜到手法。推理部分有点弱，布拉纳应该多做下前半段的剧场感。这一版波洛还挺人性的，有意思，布拉纳演的也还行，就是拍的一般。btw把埃及拍太美了吧！想去
不说和1978年版比了，就是和肯尼思·布拉纳2017年《东方快车谋杀案》比都差了一截，缺少气氛，剧情散漫拖拉，尤其是开场黑白影像那一段，真心觉得画蛇添足。唯一值得称赞的是它的服化。
更为精致考究的服化道具，对埃及尼罗河风光的绝美呈现，这些都是肯尼思版《尼罗河上的惨案》鲜明的特点，但并不是所有人都能去重现这部经典小说的昔日魅力，对节奏掌控的失衡，使电影前半段冗长乏味，而后半段也不过是凭靠原著故事的强撑，潦草的推理使昔日经典的探案变成了空有其表的花瓶。
构图和布光都上佳，调度一开始差劲一些，上船之后也渐入佳境了。虽然特效做得真的很美了，但多一点实拍还是会更好，那份恢宏壮美真的是不一样。我觉得比较突出的问题还是太追求凸显效果了，的确推理准确，分析明晰，每一个空间的场景设计布置都很好，回忆还原画面感很强，但极大弱化了主角相关之外的人物和环境，有点像游戏的情节推进了，或者说以上这些在柯南中非常合适，可这是一部电影啊。整体来说在影片质感的营造上相比《东方快车谋杀案》还是进步的。满口不离的爱情似乎才是这部电影想要探讨的主题，爱情是太过高级的奢侈品，它怕时间、怕人心，怕一切本不可怕的东西，它让人失去理智、不择手段。最后的结尾还颇有诗意地停留到这个主题，波洛剃掉胡须露出了伤疤，在打烊的酒馆里重拾起直面自己过去的勇气。
看电影，才知道金字塔段的尼罗河到底是什么样的，那么辽阔与简洁。
比起78版，22版在细节线索上的增删调改使得这起凶杀案变得不够完美。当那句「带她去找鲍里斯」换人之口说出，就存在了凶手非独处的可能，这点认为是改编失败的地方。另外，个人一直认为优秀精巧的悬疑探侦片一定从不用剪辑顺序遮掩线索，勇敢的让观众和侦探共享所有的线索，然后用一种“刁钻”或是“难以预料”的手法来完成案件，让人恍然。很遗憾这起案件本身就是很普通的手法，倘若像78版那样果敢，只会陷入平庸。但选择用剪辑来隐藏，是更为低级的露怯。最后，抛弃78版神庙那段惊艳的运镜出场又没带来更为惊艳的设计，真的很蠢。
女神好美，女同幸存，阿婆泉下莫怪，继续多拍多拍为敬，票价十五块IMAX版周六晚八点黄金场。
看完之后连吐槽的欲望都没有，抛开原著来说也是每一部分都做错（更何况不可能抛得开）。布拉纳真是好自恋哦，而且他一个英国人还封了爵，怎么一股子美式暴发户审美。艾米锤在戏里又肥又油又老，让年轻美貌的富婆一见钟情有任何可信度吗？？
看过两部阿加莎作品改编的电影，有点了解她的套路，所以一开始就押对了凶手。整个观影感觉还是可以的，中规中矩不踩雷。没看过阿加莎作品又喜欢推理片的观众可以看一看，但是对推理影迷来说，这个故事可能就有些老套了。刨除案件主线，旁支的故事可以说是涵盖了政治正确的大部分内容。
改编成了一个“爱男人不得善终，搞拉拉才能活命”的故事。
在电影院里看金字塔和阿布辛贝神庙，还是很逼真，很震撼的…
推理信息铺陈太差 人性展现还行 此生还要再去几次埃及
整体来看中规中矩，第二个守灵的故事挺有氛围，第三个机械实验的故事也是有这意思的，第一视角有游戏的爽感。
铺垫过长，情感线莫名其妙，开头的一战背景只是为了交代胡子？破案阶段的橡皮筋理论完全没有展现出来，毫无期待和爽点，揭秘的台词像是在报菜名…
好难看啊，从头到尾love love love也不腻吗？太傻逼了……而且都加上种族同性议题，怎么还在两女追一丑男呢？令人不适。感觉都没东方快车谋杀案好
肯尼斯布拉纳的导演水平和他在《哈利波特与密室》里演的洛哈特教授一样华而不实。PS，而且他和洛哈特一样自恋！不停给自己加戏，加破坏叙事节奏且毫无意义的特写！
Y’all know what I’d say about this movie right. 除了Gal Gadot正面上我侧面上我后面上我，还能说什么呢😍
看之前我很疑惑，就照着原著拍，能有多难看，事实证明导演太有自己那些不着调的想法是真的会毁了一部电影。什么波洛的感情线，什么波洛变身小李飞刀（菜刀），还有那些歇斯底里的表演和垮掉的节奏，真的让人超级疑惑，可别告诉我还要拍第三部啊
一些动物恐怖+一些异域黄金风光+一些一看就是花了大钱的强造型，Voilà！只是没想到给波洛加了这么多背景，搞得跟黑暗骑士似的。只是希望下次片头可以有一些贴心提示，我被恐怖snake吓到心脏宕机0.01秒，久久不能回神，差点在电影院痛哭。
