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.
看马东锡和孙锡久两个人间大凶器干架，爽就完了，还要啥自行车！
这是个Cinema.
作为一部室内靠着对话不断反转的影片，剧情算不上优秀，甚至一些情节交代的都不是那么清晰，影片节奏也不算快，但是人物的设定很明确，节奏也很舒服，整体是有质感的。马克·里朗斯饰演的英国"绅士"也在不断反转的事件中也揭露了自己埋葬在心底的秘密和身世。这个金盆洗手的江湖人却总是摆脱不了江湖事，像极了古龙的武侠人物和故事。可惜影片故事中的计划更多的是随机应变的巧合，好在精湛的演技和适当的节奏，让紧张悬疑感淡化了故事里的"巧合"。三星半
这年头逼得人不得不对好莱坞也宽容一点，否则就没啥5星电影了。行业mapping体会：Cutter对Arch, Tailor对Programmer。
小空间里的小花样，知道卖点是反转的话，剧情的走向就昭然若揭。
最让我感动的是老裁缝最后和那个女孩之间的对话。突然想到了Xavi
小空间下就六七个角色，这种就拼剧本和演技了，虽然还有些剧情有点牵强，但整体不错，值得一看，姜还是老的辣。
顺延了第一部的风格，本着除恶务尽的精神，对凶残罪犯的直接打击来得毫不留情，没有任何拖泥带水，合格的夏日消暑爽片。
精彩！这才是优秀编剧散发的魅力，一个夜晚一间裁缝店里的故事，纯靠反转推进的一出戏，全程对白推动，耸动性却在逐渐递增，铺成谜团与诡计讨巧在空间里不断流动，绝佳的悬疑气氛与出色的表演相映成趣，同样是具有年代感的黑帮犯罪故事，却摆脱了近几年流水线上千篇一律的动作戏，亦或是商业片强加的光环依托，完全在密闭空间里实现了精彩纷呈，而且手法更显高明，区区几个角色的演绎就能将空间内的张力以及芝加哥黑帮势力处理的暗流涌动，预谋者穿针引线，支配者不断拆线纳入新谜团，几个回合下来完全表达了编剧和导演的诉求与实现，好像话剧舞台上的剧情流转，不追求过分深刻，亦无宏大愿景，只是对文本的优缺做了一次收合与裁剪，疫情期间阅烂片无数，遇到这种追加诚意和暗藏精妙的片子，感觉像淘到好物一般，惊喜不言而喻。★★★★
明显看到人口五千万的韩国在嘲讽人口一亿的越南。故事有明显的逻辑硬伤，别看打了半天，几个人主角光环太多，配角一圈到，主角砍半天砍不到。干脆直接被设定搞得冷兵器时代算了，动作设计也有很多缺陷，跆拳道？算了，也就这样了
论反派邪恶度其实不及第一部，但在动机上更合理了，起码是由揾钱引发的血案，而不是一味地卖弄凶狠，孙锡久也更有魅力，甚至在他被马叔KO的时候我还有点儿心疼他，片子票房那么好，铁打马叔配流水悍匪的模式也确定，第三部指日可待。
单一场景小成本又一力作，老头边说边缝缝补补的细节很精彩，像凶险的蜘蛛一样耐心的布局织网，在这里逻辑显然不再重要，一切看似不可控而精彩，又胜在狡诈的应变和好运连连的主角光环，让老头这一角色人物更生动丰满

影片在单一的空间格局内呈现了极强的复古感和话剧感，主角不靠打打杀杀干趴所有黑帮，可谓揣着心理战的明白装枪战的糊涂。结尾Francis的起身看似生硬有强行反转之意，但前面早有“他为老大挡过六颗子弹”的铺垫（说明他身体素质强不会轻易狗带），至此老爷子离开London的原因线通过向博伊尔家族三人的讲述才有了完整的交待。
封闭空间的文戏让我中途睡着了一次，醒来发现剧情居然还觉接得上。反转再反转，最后发现都是男主早设计好的，年轻时也曾轻狂，社会人一个。不知道为啥男主能确定Francis 能把女主牵扯进来…逻辑没搞懂。
尸体装箱子可不就是夺魂索。
多机位、频调度提升单一场景电影完成度，黑吃黑型反转剧本，有些惊雷式亮点，男主身份并不难猜，毕竟Mark Rylance的表演是那么精彩，谎话随口就来，面对大场面如此淡定，怎可能只是一个单纯的裁缝。
非常棒的舞台剧，有悬疑有反转，Mark Rylance演技绝赞。
小成本。讲故事。反转没有很惊喜。但能让你一直看下去的电影
