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.
弟弟爱上寡妇，拖上一儿子，寡妇跟哥哥不合，类似婆媳之争。寡妇的儿子跟哥哥，暧昧不清的同志关系。一分钟的狗血抖音恶心剧情，好评率刷的吗？黑绿同，奥屎卡！
如何在没有一句台词之下仅凭调度、镜头、剪辑与表情就营造出仇视的对峙与喷薄的情欲出来，简·坎皮恩在这部电影里做到了近乎完美的示范～
拍得挺色情，卷福一出来就是各种性暗示，比如野蛮地揉碎花蕊，后面编皮绳儿也是，嗐，没法儿说。人物状态很有意思。卷福演的这位牛仔，粗鲁暴躁满嘴芬芳，爹味儿扑鼻还不爱洗澡，阉起小牛儿来跟割韭菜似的那么利索（我一女的看着都有幻痛），直爽真爷们儿！结果唻？反观澳大利亚小哥演的那位少年，肤白貌美弱不禁风，喜欢无意义的装饰，动不动就热泪盈眶，骑个马能给他笨死，这能叫爷们儿？结果唻？这里讨论的显然不是谁赢谁输的问题……重点是撇开性别枷锁，对对对，男性身上也有枷锁——所谓男性气概啊，完全是自欺与欺人，刻板印象本象，双向骗局本局，偶尔有审美价值，大多数时候就是一坨狗屎，谁踩着谁摔屁墩儿【喂】总之，各位老少爷们儿，咱们实在没啥必要为了这种可有可无的玩意儿而压抑自己的天性。女导演和女观众言尽于此，你们慢慢悟【喂】
再精美的镜头调度和运镜，再好听的配乐也难以拯救这个沉闷，温吞甚至有些无聊的故事，导演有些冷静，克制过头了，到了最后情绪才有些释放，一开始用好听的音乐和摄影还有演员不错的演技试图把人拉进这个故事，但是内容的空洞和剧本的乏力让人难以进入。细腻冷静对标《烧女图》，在克制的同时也能让观众感到趣味，奇情的故事对标欧容，怎么样让观众一秒都移不开眼。抽烟，赤裸的情节是本片难得的趣味性情节，但是两个男演员的化学反应也很弱，整个电影让人提不起神。评分：6.5/10。
很久没看过后劲这么大的好片了——越咂摸越有味道，简直回味无穷。好电影都有有一种魅力，那就是让你看完还想再看，《犬之力》就是这样的电影。
新西兰拍的电影是不是就没有外景不好看的 文火慢炖的剧情配合恰到好处的bgm 最后再给你致命一刀 导演这功力不服不行
Slow and unfocused narrative. Pretentious style. The transition of the character Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) is unclear.
隔窗，横移，隐秘的观看；Rose的神经质made by Phil色厉内荏的父权/男权形象；Peter在一条男性目光凝视的路中穿过，镇定、沉稳、绵里藏针。后来两人在一起时环轨的使用，Phil像猎物般被套牢；Peter递过去的烟越过景别，入侵Phil的空间。一出“犬之力”角力的好戏，赢家还是借力打力。
开头琐碎缓慢不知所云，到结尾忽然震惊坐起，今天起床还在回味琢磨。“犬之力”可以理解为我们说的阳刚之气：影片中的三位男主角，Phil文武双全又粗鲁爹味，其实是在掩盖他作为深柜的自我厌弃。George作为富裕农场主的小儿子，温柔木讷得和农场环境格格不入，在哥哥面前相形见绌，所以在遇见心爱的女人且得到爱的回馈时惊喜落泪，也不在乎女方是图他的人还是他的钱，只想把她豢养成衣食无忧的金丝雀。Peter举止娘炮动辄落泪，常被大老粗们嘲笑，本质上却是一把兵不血刃的温柔刀。他们当中到底谁更具备阳刚之气？所谓的阳刚之气究竟是雷霆万钧还是不堪一击？女主角也很值得玩味，在那个女性没有出路的年代，她的所求不过是有自己的姓名和价值。真正让她绝望的恰恰是丈夫的精心呵护，而对她冷嘲热讽的大伯却是更懂她的人。人心多么斑斓。
这明明是一个心机母子混入大宅门儿，全家人一个接一个神秘死亡的犯罪悬疑片的序幕啊，硬给抻成一部长片，给反派一个深柜恐同男性气概的设定，就可以政治正确地抨击男权，然后拿去哄评委混奖项了，但也太刻意，太生硬了……这几年三大奖的得奖片都已经一点儿意思也没有了，完全是创作者和评委们拿政治正确互相PUA，想说看看只入围没得奖的吧，敢情更差，一样的PUA手段，只不过做得太过，失手了，只能去拿奥斯卡😅。但卷福真心好，给加颗星吧。
3.0。过度克制导致语焉不详，最喜欢的反而是新婚的杰西普莱蒙和邓斯特在崖边跳舞，跳着跳着普莱蒙流下了眼泪，他说他不再是一个人。他俩诠释了fragile一词 。
4-，前半布局、对人物内外反差的表现挺精彩，后半要直面揭晓主题，难免煽情直白了点。另外，章节是针对人物的，到后面围绕主角，其他人物有些淡出，互动、视角少了，烘托不够，核心情感反倒不好表现。
我从未见过男主角这样傲慢无礼之人。电影开场10分钟，到了餐馆那场戏，他吼那个琴师我是真的忍无可忍了，实在看不下去，直接关了。
故弄玄虚，索然无味。看之前没看任何剧透，完全不知道是个啥片，本以为是个剧情类的西部片。然而我从开头纸花那一part就猜到了Phil的属性，这说明了什么？太刻意了。不是说表达越隐晦越好，不喜欢这种刻意的符号，其实也谈不上隐晦，各种细节早摊牌了，没那么难懂，甚至感觉很呆板。结尾反转我也不喜欢，其实不能说是反转，前面给的信息太多，智商正常的都明白了。所以我说索然无味呢，因为它就是索然无味，观影体验极差。而且有多处镜头语言（包括配乐），让观众很不舒服，比如Rose练钢琴那段镜头，体现出了Rose极其不适，但同时也让观众极其不适。四个字：我不喜欢！这都能最佳影片？为《菊石》哭个两秒钟，《菊石》教你什么是晦涩的爱。
大师之作！风轻云淡的西部牛仔生活里，涌动着经久压抑的情愫，更暗藏着杀人于无形的复仇。卷福的死可悲又可叹，对旧爱的隐忍，对新爱的忘我，被世俗的男子气概遮掩得令人心酸。他对男孩一厢情愿的爱，竟换来早有预谋的一场不见血光的杀戮，真是令人扼腕。男孩结尾的微笑，令人毛骨悚然，堪称今年最恐怖的电影镜头。对旧爱刻骨铭心的记忆，对新人糊涂地爱与付出，都是执念和癫狂，这样的犬之力终将走向毁灭。
简导的女性视角让这个发生在狂野西部的故事非常细腻，同时也兼顾冷酷残忍的一面，暗流涌动直到最后一刻才让真相浮现，每个人都在自己的表象之下隐藏着真实的内在。当Peter说出犬山形状那一刻起，Phil真的把心交出去了，同时也把命交出去了。
后劲很强，解读也多。双方都在为守候自家的领地而起冲突，同时知道在不明朗的时候要先相处，同时两方的破败也明显，一个是醉鬼母亲，一个是无聊弟弟。但儿子方懂得不断精进技艺，不胡乱树敌。而牛仔方则始终无法安放自我的压抑，处处树敌。也就意味着突然之间双方博弈之间，那极度渴望的温情突然击垮了牛仔。高手就在抽烟这一瞬间一剑封喉。一种更隐忍更强悍的力量弱肉强食取代了之前，当然没有任何情感可言，都是适者生存。如果把视角定义在卷福身上，那则是无处安放的隐藏自我必然被所有力量吞噬，尤其是亲人。精彩，酣畅，克制，美妙。
影片中的所有人都是父权制度下的囚徒。男权统治的权力关系，造就了压迫的双重结构——对女性的压迫（厌女），以及对有女性化倾向的男性的压迫（恐同）。“有毒的男性气质”（牛仔制服、凶暴桀骜、邋遢粗俗）是菲尔在深柜中挣扎和对抗禁忌欲望的铠甲，带着自欺欺人的表演性质。而彼得“我会变成什么样的人”（恋母弑父）的问题，则隐藏在电影中的每一个事件、每一个场景、每一个角色背后，直到坎皮恩不动声色地为我们找到答案——她在语焉不详但充满触感的特写镜头中收集着证据，并伴随着格林伍德编曲的黑暗和声，彻底将它揭露出来，疏离且悲凉。
燃烧爱的花朵是为了隔绝敏感的神经，磨砺粗糙的手掌是为了保护细腻的心灵，他深谙身处犬山的生存之道，却无法逃避自己的爱意本能。菲尔，一个没有被男性气质彻底规训的人，一个深谙暴力根源却被暴力吞噬的人，最终只得在无法正视的痛苦中与之共眠，这才是在他割裂的性别/人格之上终究无法跨越的大山，也同样是片中每个人在面对来自地狱的爱之烈犬时所畏惧、所施暴、所放纵的缘由，那头烈犬在无时不刻地凝视着所有人。坎皮恩绵柔尖锐且克制镜头如刀锋划过指尖，沉稳精炼、不动声色的视听风格相当毒辣，令人回味悠长。毫无疑问的，她仍是这个时代最好的女性主义作者，在解放女性和全人类的道路上，不具自反思维的男性则是必须要被重新解构和认知的对象。我们带着困惑走入看似无关复杂的情景，在割席的情感企图寻求慰藉的答案，却早已忘记走入旅途的原因。
终究要靠女性导演。即便是脆皮鸭能拍得特别有张力的一定会是女性和李安那样感受力强的男性。虽然是脆皮鸭，但有很多女性主义。各个方面完美展现了父权文化对人的剥夺，不懂妻子心理需求的直男，压抑自我嫉妒女性融入他的世界的深柜（于是霸凌），把母亲排除在父子关系之外的前丈夫和儿子，被寄予希望的好大儿（香火江山的文化让他自我放逐以及暴烈的霸凌女性，掌控弟弟），因为面子受损而自杀的前丈夫（原著），被男人们弱化的女人，儿子觉得她需要被保护，他觉得她懦弱，实际她只是不想去产生冲突，为了保护家人。厌恶鄙视女人，剥夺女人又要吸女人们血需要她们做白工的男人们。取景（可以画油画），镜头运用，自然光（女性会是好画家），配乐。演老母亲的是我喜欢的女演员。导演如果拍女性作家的可能不会获奖，就是现实和压制。男的裸体真难看
