a5c7b9f00b 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. In my book, Gotcha! is another good movie in Anthony Edward&#39;s catalog of 80s movies. Edwards is Jonathan, a somewhat wimpy looking college student who&#39;s afternoon frat boy fun of tagging his rival classmates with a dart gunhe chases them around campus, is about to come a reality in an arena of gritty international espionage. And Jonathan oughta know, these guys don&#39;t f**k around. <br/><br/>Jonathan and his buddy, Manolo (Jsu Garcia) take a trip to Europe during semester vacation. For Jonathan, he&#39;d like to spend times soaking up the local culture with beautiful girls, but he&#39;s just too quiet for all of that, unlike Manolo, who&#39;s so brazen that his pick up lines are thinly disguised stories about him being a spy and needing an escort to help distract those who are following him. So, of course Manolo gets the girl.<br/><br/>But Jonathan soon get&#39;s lucky, too, meeting an elegant, but secretive Russian woman named Sasha (Linda Florentino) who gives him some story about being an exchange student and all of that. He even ditches his friend, Manolo (they were supposed to go to Spain) to go with his girlfriend to Germany, which is not an ideal vacation destination in 1985. But Jonathan, smitten with his new girlfriend, finds out there is more going on, and soon enough, his little games of pretending to be a spy are going to help him get out a real jam, or else he&#39;s going to wind up dead. It is actually a really enjoyable movie, seeing this quirky guy stuck in a real life game of cat and mouse. i was up late one night when i see an 80&#39;s movie coming on that i have not seen before ( i know it was 80&#39;s just by the music). i checked the synopsis on my cable box, it looked good, so i watched. <br/><br/>i thought it was great! he may be a kid with rich parents that pay for everything for him, but thats OK. most parents are like that anyways, just not withmuch money. of course, while &quot;seeing the sites&quot; on the all expenses paid vacation courtesy of his parents, he runs into the European girl of his dreams. now, he&#39;s a college guy who&#39;s whole testosterone lifestyle revolves around getting busy in bed… and he succeeds! who cares that he went to east Berlin to keep getting some, its a movie and half the adventure was him trying to get back across. by the end, it all comes back to the campus where the bad guys are now in &quot;his neighborhood&quot; and he cleans them up with a tranquilizer gun (which is pretty sick by the way… i mean, i would totally take one of those over a 9 mil..). anyways…<br/><br/>this movie was made before i was born, but i think its just another great 80&#39;s &quot;brat pack&quot;-style movie that should go down with the best of them. Gotcha is aboutdevoid of personalityit's possible for a narrative movie to be.
