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.
一个注定要去瓦尔哈拉的王子。
4.5。Cosmopolis的形式里套着Crash的隐喻体系。视听可以用炫酷来形容，赏心悦目和耳，喜欢布景。概念做得彻底且接近完美，大段对话中抛出了几个浅白的大标语，但这是有一定的自反性质在的（比如，电视屏展示“身体即现实”的标语，一个虚构的媒介告诉观众什么是真实的悖论，充满了欺骗的世界）可以自圆其说，不过更多写在纸面上的自反也很可能说明着他不一定能再做出Crash那类无声胜有声的作品了。另外，题材上全是他玩过的，可能是个集大成，很可惜没看到太新的东西，他用新技术把概念完成到极致，但概念本身却不够有趣。
Robert Egger第三套長片，片商何時考慮為發行添加字幕？
???大小谎言的couple来了
这是为当代人解压的电影，里面的角色都单纯得充满安全感。不会让你被人类的阴谋折腾得身心俱疲。那俩人决斗的地方好像穆斯塔法，有几个镜头E大也神似老王，好想叫他快点占领高地啊。
高概念设置，人类在后科技时代极端异化后的生命本质和目的诘问，以冷酷同时又是热烈的自残方式。人，陷入不断加速生长的精神毒瘤、改造自身来适应自己制造的垃圾环境、与环境互渗互戕之中。异化成为常态，逐步消解“人性”，且通过孩童塑性成为新的基因。扭曲的意义，畸形的审美造成时间节点纪录的荒凉，所有雕上美丽花纹的增殖器官，所有切割精神的行为和装置，带来的不是残酷的艺术美，而是世界的绝望。
豆瓣并不算高的评分或许体现了观影的期待偏差。对于哈姆雷特的故事设定从一开始就没打算往叙事方向走，嫁接到北欧的历史环境，自然也不会是史诗的规模，特殊的神话和宗教崇拜体系下，一贯独特的色彩和运镜，最终呈现的，定是满足小众口味的融合菜码而已，我蛮喜欢。
把手术和自残视为new sex，充满了性的符号，导演意淫的是有点恶心了。我总是不太能接受男性导演这样的视角·····台词、调度、部分演员的演技让人很出戏。
沾满鲜血的野兽，孕育后代的保护者，欲求复仇的宿命，这一路是童年神棍的涟漪，自我渴望的镜像，亦或确实真神的指引，一切背叛、杀戮之下皆是虚幻的，他一直只不过是那个对父亲许下誓言的男孩，从不曾长大过，我会为你复仇父亲，我会来救你母亲
很有野心，把残忍和死亡的向往拍得如此浪漫神秘也是难得一见了。安雅迷死我了～
那块巧克力到底是窒息的食物还是未来的标志？
寓言小故事
北欧版王子复仇记。 前面还行，后面索然无味。
基本是北欧神话加上美国人对古代北欧的臆想，不尊重历史，毫无科学。。故事有结构，但没逻辑。
月夜下的驰骋、火光中的交战，在视觉上依然出色，并全然着迷于它所构建的世界；那里只有无尽的杀戮，也同样寄予遥望着信仰。无论是与《麦克白的悲剧》还是《绿衣骑士》比照（用经典、寓言装点这类），它都可能拥有更简单直白的讯息，并书写着它对所谓“史诗”和维京年代的理解。从《灯塔》和萝卜，再到Alexander Skarsgård与这里，或许演员们需要Robert Eggers，来激发他们的能量和另重鲜见的趣味。【《灯塔》后期望A24推画册剧本，这里是希望有设定集】
故事中最带感的冲突点是男主妈这个角色，妮可基德曼飙戏看得很爽，加一星。
拍成了PPT的样子，结果连最基本的故事都讲不好，有点神经病的气息，浪费了这强大的卡斯团
嗯 有了好工作不一定有好配偶，有了好配偶不一定有好孩子，确实不指望就是最大的指望了，放宽心一起迎接水滴
（一看就挺贵的）游戏过场动画大电影。故事告诉我们“生完孩子就好了”有多么错误。
一种粗粝野性的历史感，交织了古老信仰，形成了迷幻诡异的效果。另一个感想：古代北欧相关是不是只能拍这种冤冤相报何时了…
