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.
片尾用的Elastica的Connection，瞬间回到Grunge盛行的年代，用得好，爽，四星加一星，镜头不搞广角、鱼眼那些极端主义的索德伯格还是很讨人喜欢的！
B+ 老派的框架融注当下的话题，视听跟随着女主的主观感知而变化，信手拈来的镜头调度使其不安情绪在内流动（听取信息的叠化镜头、追逐戏的斜角镜头，电子屏幕-窗口的类比与对比绝妙，在物理窗口中仅能凭意识推断的模糊信息却在网络数据中清晰明了，而电影屏幕即是信息交互的透明窗口，观众的焦虑应运而生
女主是处女座吧，哈哈哈～结尾可真是扣人心弦，好看得很！
社恐小姐姐出门一趟之后治好了自己的心理疾病，厉害
一部开始就可以报警的电影 硬拖一个多小时烂片
胜在篇幅不长 ，有一些有趣设定。两个发色都超级好啊。互联网世界宅起来似乎也不是什么不好的事。 @2022-02-11 17:30:13 @2022-06-03 23:28:23
好 酷/喜欢出门后那一段的表现手法！/每个家里蹲都会有想在家反杀杀人狂的梦想（？
这些词语，都不能用来形容这部《KIMI》。索德伯格确实是悬念制造的高手，可是现在怎么也这么擅长注水了？整部电影一个半小时，前半个小时都是索然无味的交代与铺垫，电影演了一半女主才出门，结尾当然是毫无悬念的happy ending，几乎就没有什么是出乎意料的。悬念，更是不存在的。整部电影的情节也很牵强，但凡女主想起来打个911这电影都拍不了这么长的时间。导演的视听语言非常成熟，对于疫情时代的日常生活的还原也比较贴近现实，但是这救不了这个乏善可陈的剧本。
我们在现在这个网络世界里都是赤裸的人，没有所谓的安全，只不过太卑微，不值得被关注罢了
2022年了还能拍出这么无聊的电影也是有点本事。结局射钢钉有点意思。配乐抢镜。
很流畅，调度的很不错，故事本身尽管单薄，但是表现得较为饱满，最后的战斗力也是爆表了，稍显创作者的不冷静了。现代电子设备，就是家里的“内奸”啊。
虎头蛇尾，除了主角所有角色都是工具人，摄影枯燥无比，故事一句话就能讲清楚。唯一的亮点可能是各种声音的交织。
not bad but not great...
疫情下被无限放大的社恐、焦虑症、偷窥癖，人工智能带来的正负面。导演想讲的东西很多，却每个都毫无新意，即使走向荒诞讽刺也让人提不起太多兴趣。
情人与恐惧症
“看”的两种作用力：监视与帮扶。索德伯格终于收起了玩心，认认真真讲了一个大数据+疫情时代下人人自危又休戚与共的症候。
女主这也太社恐了…有点无聊 可能拍成短片更合适
开场即是“灵魂三问”：我是谁？我从哪里来？我要到哪里去？非常出色的将“灵魂寄居者”的整体悬疑氛围铺陈了出来。其后格局渐小，3次用开挂式的上身反杀桥段进行反转，从悬疑+奇幻沦为常规犯罪动作片，最后落子战无不胜真爱无敌 -- “为什么所有人都抢着要救你？”
出门周旋
说他没学过心理我是死都不信的。虽然我没看过几部，但他的个人风格真的好浓。难得的时长不到90分钟的电影。
