Jonathan plays a game called Gotcha in which he hunts and is hunted by other students with paint guns. After a big win, he goes off for a vacation in France where he meets the sexy Sasha who says she is only interested in him because he is a virgin. She takes him with her to East Germany where they are separated and he has to escape back to the west on his own, all the while being trailed by East German spies. He arrives home only to find the game is still going on, and a canister of film is in his backpack. Then Sasha re-appears. I first saw "Gotcha!" in 1985, when it first came out. This is, by far, one of the coolest spy flicks of the 1980's – way better than all of those generic James Bond movies. The scenes in the DDR will put you on the edge of your seat. Makes you relieved you lived in the U.S. during the Cold War. My favorite Anthony Edwards movie (next to "Revenge of the Nerds"). I just watched it tonight for the first time in a decade, and I have to tell you: It is still as entertaining and slick as it was in 1985. If you like E.R. you should watch this movie just to see Anthony Edwards actually being funny!! This movie may have a very corny story, but it´s a good mixture of suspense and comedy, and it manages to entertain the audience very well. This movie has got tons of humorous one-liners that one should put in mind while watching.<br/><br/>8 out of 10 The basic mistake in the movie isn't in the pacing, but in the storytelling. They've made the movie about its less interesting major character.
