Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
剧情是挺紧凑，结局很扯淡。
这是多爱飞无人机。剧情太蠢，吉伦哈尔还是帅。
迈克尔贝对电影的掌控一塌糊涂，完全没有商业片的节奏，只是几个车哐哐一通撞而已。剧情没有分步骤，既缺乏悬念又感觉乱七八糟。劫匪、警方和黑帮的利益博弈本来可以作为动态平衡来推进，从小黑到漂亮的消防员，都不知道动机在哪？
卖拷贝都开始尊重女人了，你就该认识到问题的严重性
爆炸贝又拍了一部厄长且硝烟四起的电影，剧情上面大硬伤没有，但是小故障是此起彼伏，我在救护车上做手术，基本属于“空想科学世界”，只能说美国人编起来让人感觉天花乱坠！
“我们都迷失了自我……”
Typical Michael Bay,Hard as F***，比盖里奇人之怒硬多了。迈克尔·贝确实知道怎么拍爽片，更知道怎么用慢镜头拍爽片。但是爽完就没有然后了，而且不会有再爽一次的想法。而且有两个小问题1.穿梭机镜头很酷炫，但是用多了确实让人想吐。2.每场追车戏发生爆炸我都会产生那辆车要变形的错觉……
jake gyllenhaal 可以停止自暴自棄了嗎 一直贊助paul dano拍電影不好嗎（嗚
我就想知道“大疆”赞助了吗？难以置信如此无节制地重复自己的卖拷贝是水瓶座。
6.2分。这是4千万成本拍出来的？？那《蛇眼》那个花了9千万的拍出来的是什么鬼。现在我已经学会怎么看卖拷贝电影了，简单粗暴的方法就是文戏二倍速。因为每多加一分钟文戏就会拖累对整部电影的印象。看卖拷贝就是看人家的爆炸和调度能力的，不过有一说一，这次真的剪得太碎了……完全浪费了灵活的无人机这个（伪）新技术。本以为会有更加有代入感的高速一镜到底，结果还是浅尝辄止，着实令人惋惜。
在政治正确领导下的爆炸贝名不虚传，穿梭机拍摄动作场面好刺激
前一个小时还有些许新鲜感，还以为卖拷贝要拍群像戏，一时竟有些好感，但是后一个多小时炫技式的镜头重复，追车片段冗长无趣，剧情悬念刻意而缺少逻辑，就又回归到导演的传统范式之中了。
但场面还是很热闹的。
普普通通的院线电影，一开始直入主题，镜头晃来晃去的，还有无人机视角，搞的导演嗑high了一样，追逐战时的碰撞“爆炸”一度让我以为不会有真爆炸了，后面果然没让我失望
5分实属低估，7分并不为过。

【4.0=】开始很疑惑为何镜头摇得跟过山车一样，后来明白了，是卖拷贝想先把我们脑浆摇匀，好彻底放飞自我。全片充斥着各色狂躁症、话唠、人格分裂与白痴角色，谱写出一部《美国医生》，基本拉平了中美两国主旋律电影的水准。我打光追mod在GTA5玩两个小时，想必都会比这好看很多。
我觉得这电影真好看，紧张刺激，一直为威尔和丹尼捏把汗，希望不被抓。可能今天刚刚经历了上海因为疫情原因，普普通通的去医院变得异常困难，爸爸、亲戚、邻居、民警、居委、药店、跑腿、包车皮条客……多方电话协调就为了带妈妈去医院，对电影里不顾追捕危险情景救命的精神感动。电影虽然夸张了，咄咄逼人的警察和逃匪，哪方在救人哪方在杀人，就像台词里丹尼说的，人的好坏已经无法区分了。上海的因为疫情去医院非要核酸检测急诊都不例外，这份不变通和电影里的警察一样，确实都是职责所在，但这样抓捕到罪犯付出多大代价（因为疫情防控，医院救不了本该被救的病人）。爽片之余，不禁唏嘘PS：（整个故事走向真得很GTA5，场景情节都很像，包括台词都吐槽了，这很《侠盗猎车手》）
