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.
【C】导演有很多想法，想表达的东西多少也能get到一些，但文本层面上的东西实在是太匮乏，整个故事的推动比漫威还要更模式化，漫威至少对角色塑造有自己的一套方法，但这里面所有角色都像在讲着既定的台词然后生硬的推着这个观众都明白会发生什么的故事机械式的往前走。
铺垫太长了，镜头和配乐倒是挺有意思。其实老人也有性欲这件事是很正常的，只是人们往往难以启齿而已
snuff复建，前半段的铺垫让我以为后面会有更不一样的东西呢……
演技:★
手松四星，看cult自动三观下线，逻辑合理场景构图有想法还带点儿黑色幽默，挺好，以及未麻这是被致敬第几回了？
finally出现了老年人需求，和老去的恐惧源头其实差不多，但这种方式就很小成本+娱乐化。
一个jump scare吓到了，突然插眼睛恐怖得很，然后穿了喜剧元素，有点好笑。前面的转场镜头很棒，很多致敬经典镜头～
任你怎么去分析它的主题立意或是风格影像，都改变不了剧情设计很蠢笨的事实，变态与膈应可不是一部恐怖片成功与否的标准。
拍的挺好，导演挺会拍，但这个老年人的概念表现的并不好。游泳+鳄鱼那段拍的确实很有希区柯克的感觉，总体质感很好。
色情和暴力并不能掩盖剧情的空洞，刻意的猎奇和变态使“性与淫欲”的主题趋于肤浅。
摄影师和导演最先领盒饭，因为他俩都没有“性”行为 … 哈！
《X》——恐怖的不是自然的衰老，也不是生命体的丧失，而是一颗永不服老的心。有时想想，年轻何止是一种资本，美丽何止是一种权力，但是青春刚一握在手中，日影转瞬即逝，这个世界永远都会有更加年轻更加美丽的事物出现，能够想到并有所接受，也是一种能力。
4.0。帶著5.9分的預期來看真的能看出很多驚喜，新世紀20s的剝削電影，一部電影的電影，在GRINDHOUSE後再一次對磨坊電影的反芻。
整个人从头到脚都在emo。
冲着恐怖的话 和温子仁差了若干个《遗传厄运》
无聊至极 上世纪味的恐怖片 每个人物都很脑残
类型实验很会玩的导演。情色与恐怖画面穿插，并在某些关键场景高度重合，创造出讽刺的意味。仿古影像与暴力美学都可圈可点，不过节奏处理不佳，导致前半段过于缓慢，削弱和冲淡了后半段的紧张激烈感。性压抑的根源指向传统保守势力的洗脑，这种批判的角度值得肯定；不过衰老的话题却让人不太舒适……米娅·高斯一人分饰两角的演技最惊艳。
一个关于老妇人想要爱爱老伴儿却担心自己心脏病发不肯行房却说别人勾引他老婆要杀人的故事。
爆笑又挺weird～今年开年恐怖片质量就这么高了，好快乐～
为Mia Goth量身定制的情色恐怖融合复古类型，潜伏电影之电影的独立低成本摄制情节表象，镜头引向窥视与分级切入结尾的形式趣味和文本成人影星通过现实复仇神谕秘密弑父互为多重注解，铺平血腥自由之路。分屏频闪等剪辑技巧如在银幕观看会更有效。致敬Shelley Duvall的惊声尖叫，牧师宣扬宗教狂热的苍白电波和保守南方田园噩梦的经典性压抑主题孕育畏惧迟暮的原罪，生根引爆青春与衰老，爱欲与倦怠的末日对决。性解放美国梦背后蛰伏着清教徒禁欲主义蠢蠢欲动的草叉和鳄鱼死亡之吻，呼唤神圣再临，审判恶魔画像，当松垮褶皱的老去肉体变成骇人手段，反派主角一体两面的表演是少女老妪在时光罪罚面前无差诅咒，附骨之疽般封存意识深处的轮回：有天你我会一样。就像色情产品和成瘾药物基因里及时行乐的不详音符，跑吧，趁你还有力气。
