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".
演员们除了“我在装逼”外什么都没表现出来。剧本也是。
巨石和小贱贱的基情其实还挺好，最后非要强行反转就没劲了。
啥都有，啥都不行。再次证明：艺术这种东西是不能靠大数据的。创造力不来自于计算，创造力来自激情。
睡着了，还错过了外卖。就那样吧。前面铺垫太长了。不过，我知道叙利亚反政府武装为什么怕俄罗斯。因为，枪杆子牛逼啊
“我不为俄罗斯工作 我为俄罗斯服务” 非常好的电影 不是纯粹的军事电影 飞行员的爱情故事也挺美好的 对武器操作员家属的情绪介入也很专业及时 还是俄罗斯人看着给力啊 对武器操作员的及时营救 大规模的报复 对牺牲飞行员的致敬仪式 看着非常感动 里面关于俄军武器运用的表现也很不错 是非常值得一看的电影
非常爆米花，观赏性很强，肯定是今年网飞的一个爆款
三位主演都只是在扮演各自擅长的戏路，并且之间没有任何火花，剧情仿佛永远能预料到下一秒发生什么并且在所谓的高潮来的时候电影也马上就要结束了，靠插科打诨男男卖腐死撑了两个小时
感情线穿插进来搞得支离破碎，片子叫天空，但是天上画面比地上画面都还要少，让想看空战的我一脸懵逼。。。
这个垃圾电影政治立场有问题，111分钟左右有一个指挥大厅世界地图亮起来的画面，中国大陆和台湾不是一个整体
最强卡司+2亿美金预算+全球取景最后却搞出这么一部槽点满满，对白浮夸情节荒诞的平庸之作。闹腾是很闹腾，就是非常的老套和无趣，以至于最后的反转都感觉提不起兴趣。神奇女侠的性感和美貌倒是展现得淋漓尽致，Angelina Jolie终于有了接班人。
这个垃圾电影政治立场有问题，111分钟左右有一个指挥大厅世界地图亮起来的画面，中国大陆和台湾不是一个整体
平平无奇…就最后一段纸飞机和儿子的敬礼挺感人，前面无感，最后突然泪目…感觉做个短片就挺好，没必要搞这么长
分数：55
塑料感十足的伪冒险片 找来巨石强森就让他被牛撞 找来盖尔加朵就让她穿个红裙子 整部片子全靠小贱贱的嘴炮 耍贱 卖腐 然后就是跑跑跑和自作聪明的反转 没人物没动作没奇观连个反派都没有 然而就在你心想扯淡扯成这个逼样还有完没完的时候 它竟然就这么突然地完了 连个结局都他妈没有
感谢这部电影让我知道了一个新的电影类型——算法电影。
流水线产品，各种元素都有，又都没玩透。最后的反转实在是太刻意了。
为每一个将自己的一切都奉献给国家的忠诚士兵致敬。
这种算不算 Netflix 特色的拼贴式电影？
俄式硬核战争片，真实事例改编，战斗场面还是很不错的，有很多一线作战细节（如捕俘袋等），算是有别于好莱坞的另一种战争片典范。但是不得不说，故事（准确的说应该是影片叙事）实在是不怎么样，将主角家庭生活、感情塑造与战争场面不断打碎杂糅，最后就是人物形象没塑造的很好，战斗场面也没有预料中的效果。可惜了！四星基本都是给战斗戏份的。
俄罗斯的主旋律，爱国情怀与个人英雄主义。我不为俄罗斯工作，我为它服务
