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.
把音乐剧搬上银幕的半失败案例，前半部分节奏拖沓笑点都没了，后面渐入佳境进入自己的节奏，和音乐剧一样感人，解决了一些逻辑漏洞，给康纳了一个交代。有ben platt的唱功还要什么自行车，反正我看不出违和（想把外网跟风haters都干死... 剧院与银幕之间的鸿沟不仅在于艺术形式，还在于观众群体
里面的歌都好喜欢啊！剧情稍微拉垮（包括AA的唱功 肯定会有人骂白人的无病呻吟吧……
料到了用电影的标准衡量这个改编应该不会有多好 但它还是在我的期待值以上的 比如说比音乐剧更好地justify了很多人的行为（为什么要搞Connor Project 并不是功利的目标） 塑造了更深刻的人物形象 然后加上了Evan手断其实原先是想自杀这个点 把整个故事心理健康这个线的逻辑给圆回来了 然后结尾其实改得也是不错的 比音乐剧那个非常open ending的结尾要好 剧情上来讲我感觉它想要触及的东西太多 但都没讲透彻 头尾是关于Ben的社恐 中间那一大段关于他去用谎言制造假象其实跟社恐/心理健康这个主线偏得太远了（而且我作为一个社恐也不会想去撒这样的谎 无法relate）
主角Ben Platt唱功了得，而且这部虽然根据百老汇音乐剧改编，但是少数我觉得更适合改编成电影的音乐剧。原因是涉及青少年故事，电影可以更容易接触到年轻人，引发共鸣和讨论，也更容易呈现片中起到重要作用的社交网络。故事用很有创意的方式探讨了困扰很多年轻人的抑郁症和校园霸凌。其实对家长和青少年重视身心健康有很重要意义。看的几次眼眶湿润。卡司也很优秀。
在诸如海啸的天灾目前，人们可能无一幸免，但劫后余生的救援安置乃至恢复安宁生活则是深度考验制度的合理性以及人心的温度。在当今环境下看此片，很不错。
电影版真的是灾难 剪辑和转折很生硬 不如出个官摄😑歌还是好听的 虽然我喜欢的歌被删了几首 新加的歌也还可以😞 Colton Ryan让这部电影可以忍受一点点 毕竟宽街没留下他演DEH的任何video😄以及我的快乐变成了在夹缝里寻找Isaac 结果他居然还分到了几句词儿
全剧淡淡的悲伤氛围；没有绝对的善恶，凶手和被害人都无法让人憎恨；悬疑推理部分较弱，结局的反转是意料之中；出狱后的佐藤健感觉消瘦很多啊，是发型和胡子关系？还是刻意营造的？
选材可以，可拍的真心不好看，结尾反转也过于刻意了，就男主够好看
转场和运镜在吃力地配合着原版音乐剧的音乐和主题，能感觉很多地方影片想要努力表达但力不从心，并不是一次很好的改编。很期待看看音乐剧版是如何讲述这个故事逻辑的。
多么美好的音乐剧，关于成长，关于少数群体 suicide
说是破案犯罪剧，实则更像是一部折射社会现实的剧，加上现在疫情这个大环境，看起来更有感触，除了你自己，其实并没有人会care你是否真的存在过，但是单看这部剧，挺无聊又臭长
这个世界其实都没错
请为了哪怕一点点的温暖，好好活下去吧。
看到失去耐心，社会问题揭露浮于表面，犯罪破案线也拍的没意思，人物的心理转变没有说服力，浪费了人生的两个多小时
音乐剧拍电影版能不能放弃无效改编也不要加一些或者难听或者没用的新歌了啊。相比起来歌唱表现形式难以融合的通病我都可以忍，还是一不小心哭了至少Requiem, You Will Be Found, Words Fail, So Big/So Small四首呜呜呜/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
总的来说，看到一半就知道是一个讲述刻板印象“嫌疑犯”的故事，结局也注定是一个被冤枉的好人。瑛太虽然出场镜头很少（刚出场就是尸体），但是把生活保障科职员那种阴阳怪气演得太好了。TKR的胡子造型和《一夜》差不多，客观地说，大概是群像剧的关系，主角甚至包括宽叔的表现都不是很出彩，但是故事的背景设定还是挺令人深思的。这不是一两个人造成的悲剧，而是赋予全社会的命题，真的好难啊。
音乐剧是一部不错的音乐剧，改编电影后，把音乐剧的缺点放大，优点减弱了，虽然补完了音乐剧里无法呈现的“细节内容”但却形成了反作用使得剧情的拖沓以及无法与歌很好地融合，如果这故事仅仅只是剧情片也会是个不错的题材，但歌是真的好听的，导演拍摄就一般了
没看过音乐剧、擅自以为是那种孤独自闭的主人公迈出一步感染了他人也治愈了自己的故事、不成想实际蛮矫情做作还有点尴尬...且这部作品并不适合以歌舞片的形式呈现——上一秒还是沉郁闷丧的气氛、下一秒就high school musical、实在很跳脱。
当你无力与人生一战，请相信一定在未来不论多远总有拯救的时候。
因为同是内向的人，依然很好哭。但Ben真的有问题，老了不说，这发型、眼袋和厚厚的浓妆，搞得很像跟踪狂。看在音乐剧的份上给4星。平心而论，只能给个3星。
