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".
比预期要高，无人机手法会引导新潮流。但无脑地方真太无脑了。贝如果有个好编剧，不用炸街，而是炸裂。
在影院看，眼花缭乱，花活不断，航拍如入臻境。
我以为迈克尔贝会炸死我，结果他这次想晃死我……
剧本也就这样吧，竟然在电影里让我发现两处明显拼接痕迹，剪辑也太差了
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
总之，这辆🚑好玩呢。
#22#26欢迎来到圣安德烈斯…三星任务。嫌犯抢银行居然家人都不控制，还能拿钱💰走，CCTV的新闻吗这是？
穿梭机运镜很炫，但不少镜头用得没有来由，狂轰滥炸，整体视听躁得慌，不少牵强附会，最后硬扳回来也没能打动人，死那么多无辜的警察和平民就让闪回一段童年给安抚了？明目张胆的把钱塞进包里当周围的人眼瞎吗？导演跟嗨了药一样拍的，狂拍一堆素材剪得眼花缭乱就是高级了？ 2022·4·23 6.0/3446 短评2056 大陆票房4天8百多万。【IMDb6.4/1.5万】
很火爆，很卖拷贝！整部片子就是一部大型LAPD秀肌肉的超长宣传片，各种酷炫的GTR、RAM、野马警车扎堆，直升机全程打酱油。但可惜的是，两个硬伤拉跨，把全片素质拉低，一是反派有勇无谋，无计划无组织，最后一招多点诱饵还算稍微有点技术含量，二是可能想表现LAPD的超高效率，一开始啥事情没有，就有一大堆警车到位，莫名其妙。全片就好像是把其他动作片中的5分钟追车戏硬生生拉成2个小时，看得人好累。但镜头、动作设计、光影效果还是不错的，勉勉强强及格吧，正宗爆米花电影，看完就忘。好在卖拷贝选角口味还行，女主和当年的梅根有一拼，很是漂亮！比神秘海域的女主强多了！
非常纯粹的追车类犯罪动作电影，虽然没有大的惊喜，总体完成度还是不错的。人物弧光也完成得挺好。近年来好莱坞这种“单纯”的作品已经变得越来越难得了，总是要夹带些乱七八糟的东西。
无意中点开，看了一个小时我就想：“这特么怎么弄得跟迈克尔贝似的？”hh
这三点在其他类型里可能都算缺点，唯独动作片里我认为不算，尤其是事到如今的动作片。给人新鲜感，给人感官刺激，做到这些比想象中可难多了。
动作 惊悚 犯罪 电影 美国 2022 飙车
5.5/10。混乱的动作戏和迷惑的文戏：一套经典的无人机+高饱和+逆光+升格+高速剪辑的卖拷贝式组合拳去影院看估计能把人眼睛晃晕，而比剪辑更令人不适的是毫无原则的圣母心和强行植入的兄弟情。（136min ver.）
可惜无人机的酷炫被拉垮的剧本和糟糕的剪辑和动作戏拖后腿，严重不如上一部鬼影特工，不过总的来说我和我老婆都觉得还行
上次看Jake接这种平平无奇的电影是《异星觉醒》。所以真的不会用故事毫无新意这个标准刷掉一些项目的嘛😂
卖拷贝还是一如既往地钟爱洛杉矶啊，挺流畅的没有那么不堪，比鬼影特攻好太多
女生的嘴好性感！
没什么亮点，剧情也有一定的硬伤，但确实是适合在电影院看的片子，在疫情无片可映的当下，且看且珍惜吧
剧情是挺紧凑，结局很扯淡。
