Amazon.com: Before he started losing his hair (which gave his baby face the maturity it needed for him to be taken seriously as a doctor on E.R.), Anthony Edwards was the quintessential juvenile lead, college division. That is what he plays here: a college kid who is campus champ at an assassination game called Gotcha (that uses fake guns). Then he goes on a summer vacation behind the Iron Curtain (before it came tumbling down) and falls for a female operative (Linda Fiorentino), who not only uses him as an unsuspecting courier for spy stuff but makes him a fall guy, as well. When he finally extricates himself from the trouble, the trouble follows him back to campus. Silly and far-fetched, though Edwards has that wounded-puppy look down perfectly. --Marshall Fine
Great Movies arrived in great condition, packaged well, and fast shipping. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Great 80's time warp Anthony Edwards as a college student!! I saw this after I saw "Top Gun" and enjoyed both equally. His friend Manolo is a true friend, and I love the ending on campus with the Russians.. the good guy definitely wins here..
Gotcha DVD Excellent Movie. Funny but a serious side. Enjoyed it when I was younger and enjoyed it more even now.
Classic spy games movie, and anthony edward with hair. After his sucess with Revenge of the Nerds, Anthony Edwards stepped out of the plad trousers and tapped glasses and into the action world. Out about the time of Revenge of the Nerds II (and the reason Anthony Edwards was not in sequel), Edwards is Johnathan Moore, an 18 y.o. college kid that goes to europe with his buddy on spring break. Of course, they are hoping to scam on some babes. Well, Johnathan being so innocent falls hard for "czechloslovocian born" sasha, who was in paris on business. They hook up, and she invites him along to Berlin to help her on her Courrier run. Somehow innocent John ends up in East berlin with this girl he just met, and eventually ends up running for his life. Again, not the best action movie of all time, and the acting wasn't spectacular, but the storyline was original enough, and funny at times. Enjoyable movie, I recommend it.
Great Fun This movie brings me back to the old days. I remembered it being great fun to watch, and it still is. If ever I feel like watching an intertaining movie, I can never go wrong with this one. People might feel different, but if you liked the 80's and it's humor, you will like this.
