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.
中间有一度想睡着。。。温情家庭片，类似小偷家族，但是感觉少了一位和蔼的老人。
最想吐槽的其实是本片过于保守的价值观。
【20220619】和是枝裕和之前的电影蓝本几乎一模一样：无血缘的分子组成的团体，竟然打破了“血浓于水”的古语。略有新意的是把家庭片和公路片杂糅（不过这些地点似乎也不都很必要），记录了一个家庭的诞生与成长。坐高铁过隧道的镜头算是小亮点：内心深处的想法只有在过隧道无光时才敢脱口。李知恩最值得拿奖的地方，或许是闭灯后，对大家说：“谢谢你的出生”。孩子生父和黑道的线显得冗余。警察可能真的是异化到“最想成交”的人。
我已经不是适合看是枝裕和的心境了，但还是欣赏他大而化简。
这小孩是不是有啥魔力啊，亲爹被亲妈杀死了，亲爹的老婆花了几百万然后还找黑社会抢他回来要养他，有大冤种夫妇花几千万要养他、养不成了还要时不时来看他，人贩子为了他开始不爱钱了、变圣母了（当然还杀了人），女警察案子没办成最后硬是给他养了三年然后还给亲妈。我不理解。
看的時候很疑惑（工作忙起来，没关注影人咨询），都是韩影韩剧老熟人了，怎么拍的一股日本片的味道，节奏慢悠悠的。。。。。。一上豆瓣，OK，好吧，是枝裕和的片。
五个没有血缘关系的人走在了一起。一家人，那份牵挂、不舍，比海更深。
然而这位日本导演，却将辣白菜更换成酸中透着甜的福神渍。人世间纵然辛酸却总能苦中作乐。舒缓的治愈，是日本电影爱好者的最爱。
如果是悬疑片 或者犯罪片 完全可以直接把孤儿院那孩子干掉 hh 当然这种展开在导演的电影里是不可能存在的 不过不知道为啥 总感觉演员演得都好假 尤其是洗车那块儿 为什么会笑？为什么要那么刻意 真的开心吗？我会这样问自己 难道是因为不是亲生的？之后的展开也有些差强人意 裴斗娜工具人实锤 或许我该把这部当作商业片 别较真 别过脑子比较好 但又想着如果可以把今 敏的《东京教父》和河濑直美的《晨曦将至》掰开揉碎结合一下 或许会出现不错的效果也说不定
期望越大失望越大 感觉浪费一众优秀的演员 这个剧本真的是 无聊透顶
是枝裕和可能是要凑个水土不服三部曲吧，上一部《真相》我已经什么都想不起来了，这次看《掮客》也是这个感觉，毫无记忆点，完全没发挥导演细微处见真章的能耐。IU演得不行啊，角色发挥空间不小，没看出导演的调教，宋康昊也只是正常发挥。
不知道为什么，在这部里裴斗娜每次吃东西看起来都像难以下咽。
3.5到头，故事浮于表面，无法被感动……太散了，韩版流水账式《小偷家族》，多少还是有点违和。暂且不提电影究竟想表达怎样的生养逻辑以及伦理观念，我的疑惑点在于，弃婴生母的背景故事真的需要这么抓马吗？（即使已经这么复杂的人物设定了，但是女演员依旧演得很没劲儿）
这是一个诞生于「爱与罪与罚」叙事框架下，有着「监督+生产+销售」明确分工的「商业」组织，他们「笼络人心」对东亚家庭宣传的逻辑是，与其在一个存在系统漏洞和暗箱操作的托管机构里没有希望地活着，不如「你和你的作品」脱离那个教会般的「命运」共同体，通过「非法」手段，加入这个貌似明亮温暖的「利益」共同体——在《小偷家族》式的荣光中长大。然而，孩子从哪来本身值得商榷，能否成为人「艺术本身」而非一件商品也有诸多不确定性。看过《德意志零年》的观众大概知道，人格化意识形态一定是有「恋童」癖好的。而看过《葛罗达的新娘》也可了解，西方「三权分立」体制看似完美，实则「自由民主」外衣下掩饰的是「政教合一」本质。导演如此卖力地为这样一个吸食「美国」奶粉的《掮客》群体摇旗洗地，不得不令观众怀疑他是否获得了「基金会」支持。
教人联想起松本大洋的《星之子》，但本质上和《小偷家族》是一套东西，可居然也是很多中国新人文艺导演经常会在脑中闪过的那种公路电影，我相信他们都想拍这样一部戏；甚至于，让是枝裕和做出来，有那么一丁点浪费的感觉。情感的真相包袱一路抖开，润物无声，直到最后那两分钟，万物复苏时节，才令先前积攒的悲伤喷涌而出。
原本很好的基础结构，故事性太不耐看了。很日式的电影，只有宋大叔和若干个配角显得游离在平淡的其他演员和布景之外。
短评里好多说这是一部童话，来自是枝裕和的韩国童话。
新瓶装旧酒 几场戏的处理和「小偷家族」如出一辙 本来以为是想借助韩国的星光团队在国际上获得更高的声量 现在感觉是希望借助韩国团队的本土化处理让这个前作的复刻有一些不同的风貌 为了增加故事的新鲜感 是枝裕和借了公路片的壳表现家族紧密的联系 四五个人挤在一个小小的房车里吵架聊天很容易让观众移情 三线叙事的剧本能看出是枝裕和的努力 但没怎么处理好 也缺少韩影快速叙事的工业魄力 可能这个故事还是适合在日本定心拍两个半小时比较好 天台 窗边 摩天轮 三场戏印象深刻 剧本只给了IU发挥的空间 一个表面冷漠 内心苦闷的太妹妈妈在屏幕里闪闪发光
《掮客》
可能因为导演是是枝裕和，比起其他韩影又多了不少的格外的温情，确实很像东京教父，这种临时拼凑又注定不可能长久的家人会有一种特殊的感动。
