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.
坏蛋也太像坏蛋了，以及害怕的通常都是真实存在的，这个恶人本身带来的恐惧感远远不及所有人对她说的话嗤之以鼻的态度。
无聊 虽然摄影不错 但是感觉硬是八一个短片的体量拉成了一部长篇 人物故事全部空核。
给2星是把女主的恐惧拍得太神经质。女性恐惧题材是很简单常见，但是简介两句就是电影的全部真的拍得太平庸敷衍了……结尾女主的反杀更是令人目瞪口呆 寄托于杀人犯茶几上的枪简直理想化到离谱= =女主的老公是所有人的缩影 地铁和反投诉是这部电影不错的两点 其他没了
同样作为女性受害的惊悚片，这部监视者比起同期主题相似话题度爆表但又晦涩难懂的《男人》要直观好理解的多。虽然剧情相对来说比较老套，但这的确是千千万万个当下的社会新闻里这些受害者真实发生的事。可惜现实生活中没有发生奇迹的结局，至少电影里会编排出反杀的解气情节来圆满。
她老公一天到晚不相信自家老婆也就罢了，还拿她最紧张最在意的事当梗讲给同事听，没想到惊悚片也能让我生气……
竟然还玩反转，开放式岂不更好？男配绝了，一查发现我居然还看过他演的片儿……我这脸盲没救了
构思创意很好，就是演技太差，女主全程一张脸没有任何表情
中规中矩，比较无聊，作为惊悚片是不合格的，除了最后那几分钟高能之外，其余时间节奏比较慢，氛围感不够，比起之前看过的同类型的「偷窥者」差一些，整体观感比较差。
一般般，最后直接快进……多些惊悚和反转会好的多
非要弄个傻逼男主做靶子。。。
很普通。可是好爱看街景和室内decoration。
所以说男人们为什么总是否定女人的直觉！！！！
22年7月末 在上海；比较弱比较单薄的故事
现实生活到女主下车就结束了。后面就是鬼扯了。
非常现实的剧情……最后还是靠自己才杀死凶手
不应该低于8分 相当优秀的恐怖惊悚片 气氛到位
浏览了一遍评论，感慨本片可能是只有女性看了才会觉得极其恐怖的电影。
不是一惊一乍要故意吓唬你的恐怖片，整体节奏很平缓也很阴森，可能这就是现实吧
这类题材的鬼电影我已经烦了，千篇一律的男主不相信女主，女主生气，最后反杀，这类剧情毫无意义
文本很老气，女导演要表达的女性困境一开始就已经说清但在随后一个小时里并没有更多的深入以至于整个故事都缺乏变化和惊喜，倒是选角很合适，麦卡很适合演这种身处困境中的孤独女性，而戈曼就很适合演寡言的变态
