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.
很喜欢中段，随着三条生命的逝去，缓慢，隽永，流长，仿佛自己也能感受到生命的流逝。后半段明显节奏过快了，整体过浮，还没让观众感同身受，剧情就又进入下一段了，有些可惜。
議題好，可惜劇情中段之後走了下坡......探討的不夠深入與留下刻意尷尬的結尾。
喜欢李婷婷这个演员
片名即表明导演的态度，且具挑衅性。这是一部抨击日本福利救济体系的政治片，却包裹在犯罪悬疑故事中，又以三一一海啸事件作为背景。说实话，故事讲述得相当牵强，愤怒的情绪表现得淋漓尽致。两位男演员一贯的不会演戏，不管什么角色，永远都是一副面孔。日本的福利制度颇被攻讦，自身确存问题。但福利却是双刃剑，度在哪里还须谨慎拿捏。毕竟人性难测。
连环凶杀公务员，扶贫救弱职未当。
20:30~22:45
在东日本大地震这个真实背景下，全片作为一部与杀人事件为起点反映社会的推理片，也充斥着真实到令人窒息的氛围。没有绝对的善恶，都是普通人的互相温暖和个人挣扎。“生活保护”在日本也是个很敏感的社会问题，有复杂的历史背景，有“贫穷”究竟是社会责任还是个人责任等政治论题，还有所谓日本人的“恥”文化等。所以其实最后这部电影想表达的点（声を出して。出したら絶対誰か助けてくれる。）我个人觉得很奇怪，或者说很单薄，所以感觉有点可惜。不过总体来说还是部合格的片子，值得去电影院听着旁边座位的抽泣声看一看。
最后那场戏很多余，看得出编剧太想把所有主要人物都交织在一起，形成某种大灾难下的共同命运，反而显得“小”了。把东日本大地震与灾后民生恢复社会福利这些问题通过一个连环谋杀案来呈现，是常见的那种社会派推理，但推理部分很弱，导演显然志不在此。算是某种灾后情感重建片吧，我不知道本片能不能对当下受疫情防控政策影响被困家中食不果腹的人有一点抚慰。
宣传语：连续饿死案背后埋藏的残酷现实--谁是受害者，谁是加害者？谁有权做出命运的审判，谁又是得不到保护的人？
每次看到阿部宽总想到加贺系列……这一部故事沉重，叙事很不错但是太冗长了，如果在电影院，沉浸式观影可能好一点，特别是交叉叙事那一段，但是没什么过渡，很容易把人搞懵。加贺啊，亲情啊，第一印象太深，阿部宽也是半永久西装了……还是警察西装。
既想讲地震，又想讲社会问题，又想拍推理，结果就是每个方面都不够深入，表现一般。好在阵容不错，清原果耶妹妹在这部里演技也不拉胯。
电影还是绕开了一些社会上尖锐的东西。最后选择了温和的结局。让人不服气。一条生命，甚至更多生命就可以这样结束。
我本来是奔着感动的爱情来的，半道儿非开始讲生死和医学，然后再硬拉回来讲曾经沧海，然而此时我脑子里已经全是医美，最后再用个奇葩代孕来收尾，中间还有各种生硬主旋律植入，已经无法用割裂来形容观影情绪，多一星给王啸坤吧。
奇怪的故事，奇怪的女二线，奇怪的落脚点，不如叫老不奇怪

不对濑濑敬久有期待果然对的。佐藤健凭这部颁奖季男主全提名，拿下含金量仅次于旬报的每日映画最佳男主，满意，加一星。
有些类似《本杰明巴顿奇事》
这终于是一部，烂的跟主演一点关系都没有的电影了
