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.
啊我看哭了。莎翁伯基佬桑大爷斯大爷神！Rita Moreno长命百岁！听了几百上千遍的歌，斯大爷依然能从中发掘出新的意义，只能说你大爷终究是你大爷。编舞华丽绚烂又充满了力量感，调色和摄影都美疯了。
歌舞场面调度值得一看；光影运用娴熟；老版伯恩斯坦的配乐（古典融合爵士）真是动听；故事太熟悉看着没啥感觉，结尾似乎弱了点。
5/10。不懂2021年了斯皮尔伯格干嘛要翻拍这个故事，还又臭又长。想重振歌舞片雄风吗，我看是老太太跳广场舞。男主有演技可言吗？
烂片。摄影还是好的。女配出彩。叙事是叙了个什么。看了一个小时就在想什么时候结束啊我想回家了。
这种故事啥都不改放到银幕上太违和了，街头火箭队和鲨鱼队火拼真的像两群gay gansters在斗舞。‘罗密欧’上阳台的经典场景看着像徒手攀岩，配不上‘tonight’。
女主演得不行，男主全都不行，其他部分就还挺好。
毫无诚意的翻拍，编舞平庸、对白无趣又冗长，2021版《西区故事》更像是二流戏剧而非电影。
我听不出来安塞尔唱的好坏，当年悲惨世界都说罗素唱得差，我也听不出来，只听出来阿曼达气喘🌚
4.5…主要是看调度去的，基本可以说是“惊心动魄”级，然后这个光真的是太让我大开眼界了…斯皮尔伯格在2021年拍了一部“彩色的黑白片”，想象力与创造力仍然是好莱坞的门面，在他身上有着过去好莱坞的身影
音乐剧好看不代表拍成电影也好看，哪怕他是斯皮尔伯格。国内看过音乐剧的人我相信都没多少，所以这种音乐剧改编成的电影大多数国内观众还是难以接受，尤其说西班牙语的时候还不给字幕对观众太不友好了，故事还是罗密欧与朱丽叶一样的老套故事情节，评分高不了。
你能看到即便是这么一部脱胎自音乐剧的歌舞片，画面中的光源也要尽量贴合现实逻辑；镜头的调度多变而流畅，电影感非常足；摄影、美术等等方面也呈现了老斯所应当代表的行业标准，应当说老斯的翻新工作是卓有成效的，在继承老版明艳绚丽的视觉风格之余，大大剔除了老版的舞台感和棚拍感，而且整套卡司的演出水准（尤其是群体唱跳段落）真是相当可以，并不比老版逊色。不过问题在于，莎士比亚的文本结合百老汇音乐剧的形态去承托这样一个街区题材，天然带着某种悬浮感和陈旧性。假如真是要严肃且深入地探讨种族、阶层、移民等等命题，那老斯一开始大可不必非得去翻拍《西区故事》。
灯光镜头和舞蹈都很好，不至于这么多差评。斯皮尔伯格就是纽约人呀，这是他们的西区故事，而且总算不是全员白人假扮棕色人种了这一点比过去进步。青少年帮派斗争其实在立法禁止用童工之后，于是年轻力壮的小伙子们遵从动物本能天天争夺地盘惹是生非，青少年犯罪在当代西方成为大问题。
都说情节太平淡没有波澜起伏，个人觉得这种生活就是平淡的，像温水煮青蛙一样，像不知道何时会开枪的子弹一样。
哪儿都好，就是故事不行，有这主创团队，用心原创个剧本绝对会成为传世经典
但是，終於，老狗玩不出新把戲……沒想到是通篇照抄，卻也抄不到更好的成績，遑論歌曲唱功、場景調度、角色顏值、拍攝手法、表演才藝……居然都遜色原作好幾籌，心中根本激不起半點漣漪。
一个是剧作上对主人公的移情有问题，一个是百老汇音乐剧的形式（唱歌跳舞）与电影要求复原现实的特性（生活中的一举一动）有天然矛盾，损失了电影的代入感。这些盖过了视听语言上的光芒。
斯皮尔伯格继《大白鲨》《第三类接触》《人工智能》后第n次让我失望，老斯导演的调度能力自然不必多提，只是他的剧本每次的脑残程度都能让我汗颜不止。新版《西区故事》的选角是毁灭性的，我万万没想到我堂堂的里夫成了一个说话声像小鸡崽子尖声细语，还没手下有阳刚之气声音大，真是气死。斯皮尔伯格《西区故事》的选角可媲美张艺谋在《长城》中的选角。
虽然是罗密欧朱丽叶的故事，但实在太差了，老气又过时，60s的唱腔也经不起时间检验，大部分时候不知道大家在干嘛（why is anybody doing anything?)俗套的一见钟情，你哥刚被他捅死了还能跟这个才认识几天的人搞在一起，帮派斗争让人想说get a life get a job plz...多一星给i feel pretty 和Anita的America。
斯皮堡大导出手，技术上确实无可挑剔，很多镜头调度都赏心悦目。只是这个故事实在是…感觉有点一言难尽，太傻了，中后段悲剧开始后还稍微有点感觉了。歌我也get不到。女二碾压女一，女主真的太迪士尼了…
虽然斯皮尔伯格的场面调度和音乐都堪称教科书式典范，但也拯救不了这部片过多的槽点。这是一个以男女主为核心的故事，但男女主的存在感竟然能比一众舞蹈群演的存在感还低，完全没有辨识度。更别说这个“我们相爱大过天，其他仇恨全靠边”的PUA式老套洗脑剧情，而且也没有拓展出更多的深度和可能性，小体量狗血恋爱大过天的故事撑不起2个半小时的时长，没想到看斯皮尔伯格的电影也会有这么如坐针毡的一天，失望透顶。
