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.
如果说水土不服，那就是这个故事放在韩国真的太不自然了，而且姜东元和IU一个也没法给康昊子送戏，唯一能打的裴斗娜和康昊子几乎没有对手戏，饶是再多再美的镜头也就是个不合时宜。是枝裕和离开日本土壤就yw的水平，证明他终究做不了大师。
《小偷家族》的时候，我们还相信是枝裕和。片中那个因陪伴和利益交换组成的非血缘家庭，如此荒唐又可信；到《掮客》，我们不再相信了。那么到底是我们变了，还是是枝裕和变了？
出乎意料的好。好几个片段是近期看电影笑得最大声的时候，同时还穿插着各种Meta元素和电影梗太过瘾了。真心希望尼古拉斯凯奇一切都好。
哈哈，《小偷家族》和《无人知晓》又好在哪儿了呢？
凯奇终于拍了一部不那么烂的片子，而且剧本编写竟然还很特别，片里片外，有点傻傻分不清。中间回顾了很多凯奇以前片子的梗，但如果没字幕组做提示的话，可能也只有他自己记得了……
2022戛纳影帝+天主教人道精神奖。像是一个是枝裕和韩国粉丝拍出来的空中楼阁一般的模仿作（而且这个粉丝可能只看了最热门的的几部），有做成极为精彩的悬疑片（有几处悬念设置和揭示方法真是非常精巧），或者相当不错的喜剧片的潜质，结果白白浪费了。掮客线胡编，刑警线基本都是废戏，宋康昊影帝纯属过誉（所以我就说这个奖对人不对片嘛……）。不过转念一想是枝裕和其实也走到李安式的优等生电影路线上了，一个套路（非血缘家庭）概念先行，写什么作文都套这个梗，看着就不免令人生厌。当然转念一想，能把一个韩片拍得这么像韩片，无论是抓马感和塑料感都能十足还原，其实也能说明是枝裕和的技术还真是不错的。
摩天轮之后就开始哭了。是枝裕和在把握惨淡人生中的小美好的细节里真的拉满。
是枝裕和怎么这么拉了，如此轻佻的剧本，真是几乎找不到一点好
第3603-关了灯，IU躺下，觉得该放大招了，说出那几个谢谢后，我心里就像听到后胡乱挠头要睡觉的宋康昊，有那么一丝感动，却没达到期待，还有点抗拒进入情绪，索性就稀里糊涂过去了。
看似宋康昊姜东元是掮客，其实里面的每个角色都是掮客，于是大家又互相救赎了一次~
6.5/10

也算是可爱的。结尾女儿问有没有人看过《帕丁顿熊2》，已经看过的凯奇什么也没说，只是陪着再看了一遍。这个片段dejavu了。谁没在爱的人面前撒过几个温柔的谎呢 ★★★☆
本片為是枝裕和赴韓國拍攝的韓語片，被認為是枝裕和的《小偷家族》的姊妹篇，但實際並沒有《小偷家族》一般描繪沒有血緣關係的一群人構成家庭倫理劇的戲劇元素，而是以遺棄與販賣兒童為題材，探索當中的是非道德。是枝裕和此片野心頗大，遠比一般犯罪片來得複雜，他沒有美化任何一方的行動，埋伏在暗處救嬰兒的警察，或者變賣嬰兒的“經紀人”，他們行為都夾雜了不太純粹的功利與私慾。是枝裕和亦刻意保持一定的距離，利用輕快的配樂以及忍俊不禁的情節，淡化了賣嬰的悲劇，相比《小偷家族》中還是對偷竊這種公眾行為保持著一定的道德底線批判，此片的賣嬰行動存在更多灰色地帶（像是有一群富人夫婦誠心渴望收養嬰兒，證明無情之舉背後也有隱藏的人性善美），而且是枝裕和亦克服了韓國拍攝語言不通的障礙，更展現出一種更簡潔且高超的影像敘事技巧。
极其平庸的一部动作喜剧片，不知道为什么会被媒体营销成尼古拉斯凯奇的口碑力作，想靠本片咸鱼翻身还是趁早洗洗睡吧
伏笔、线索的处理也极端简单。
2，每一个拐卖儿童案，就要搭进去一个女警察协助善后，韩国女警察还够用吗？
Another suspenseful and melancholy masterpiece from Koreeda.
是凯奇的真实心路历程吧 演技真的没得说 只要不选奇奇怪怪的剧本 就魅力十足
连是枝裕和都开始了这样，没有故事强编故事。反正有大把老底慢慢消耗。
