His first time may be his last. Jonathan Moore (Edwards) is a shy UCLA veterinary student and the reigning champion at 'Gotcha' a campus-wide paintball game. While on vacation in West Germany he's seduced by an older woman the sexy and mysterious Sasha (Fiorentino) who turns out to be an international spy. When he returns home to LA there's a strange canister of film in his backpack and a team of KGB agents on his back. Suddenly he's in the middle of a real life-or-death game of
Watchable Cold War caper starring Anthony Edwards ('Top Gun', 'E.R.') as a feckless American teenager who becomes embroiled in espionage whist travelling around Europe with sultry Czechoslovakian spy Linda Fiorentino ('Men In Black', 'Dogma'). 'Gotcha' is a well paced, blast from the past; its cloak and dagger shenanigans set in East Berlin, hark back to a better time in the spy game: when mutually assured destruction kept the wars small, the armies big and the femmes fatale. Edward's fish-out-of-water antics are quite entertaining and straddle the line between comedy and adventure, Fiorentino's character is a bit of a narrative ruse but she plays it well. Good, not great, worth a look for 80's fans.
