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".
Ana de Armas又美又飒，以至于她一收工后面剧情我都在打瞌睡😴
最拧巴神棍的反派 被一枪爆头的时候说不出的舒坦 古巴007女郎战斗力爆表 娃娃脸配上烈焰红唇露背装杀伤力加倍 可惜中后段冗长无比看的人昏昏欲睡 这个反派真是失败到家了 茶叶蛋表面的脸也看的人生理不适 被哈维尔巴登和汉尼拔演的反派吊打
每看一部新的007我都想回去看皇家赌场，这部甚至还好意思放Vesper的墓🚬怎么说呢，像看了个思想极其保守的主旋律电影，英雄退休了就该有漂亮新老婆还该有小孩，找个黑人女007特工也掩盖不住这股正气🚬越野追逐的大型汽车广告还是挺好看的，丹叔的身手也依旧让人很过瘾，就是这剧情我实在看得犯困，只有00Q元素依旧让我觉得好他妈可爱，Q是最可爱的技术宅乖崽🥺
利落的台词、刺激的打戏、优秀的摄影，单独拿出来看它是一部成熟的商业片，然而从它背起这系列编剧沉重包袱那一刻起它就注定要输了，所以我也不求完美，只求好聚好散。丹叔实在不适合演儿女情长，至今没搞懂为啥真爱非蕾雅不可，跟邦德对戏全靠喘，镜头前的自然亲密感远逊伊娃格林。反派又是本系列里已用三次的邪恶组织套娃，生化武器强到逆天也斗不过主角光环，浪费拉米小帅哥了。然而布景审美真好，苏维埃中世纪现代混搭日式枯山水的蔷薇园林我点一万个赞。
不足四星，一日为特工（顶尖的），终身危险伴（尤其身边人），直至死方休
007系列在每个年代都有不一样的定位 当前系列其实想把它做成帝国（主义）怀旧与哀叹，借助极具设计感的抽象影像实验片头（也是片子里集成流行音乐、象征符号、与时代精神、同时也最具商业化特征的段落）来打造一种带有奢侈品质感的大众快消产品。克雷格的冷峻既标识了英帝国自认独特于美帝的傲气也成为其努力在超英时代恰饭的卖点，从布鲁斯南的一切尽在掌握中到克雷格的尚能饭否 自嘲式的内容被写成民族哀歌并包装出售。最讽刺的是每每塑造出反人类反派却全然不谈英美自己就是反人类反派的事实。不过007可能确实是当下少数还有实景特技表演的主流大片了
纯属于谢幕作品感情加成，编剧和场面确实没啥好说的。
不记得上一次在影院看007是什么时候，反正这一部看得很畅快，见识了“万人打完皆不准，我打对方个个中”的魅力。古巴女特工晚礼服枪战场面太飒了。
007到底在看什么？从80年代一路看过来，看过最多的是罗杰摩尔，软科幻&软色情、异域风、Q的小玩意、蛇蝎或者痴情美女……到现在所有这套（甚至007是白人男性）都变成了过街老鼠……
全球疫情蔓延的今天，能在大银幕看到一部摄影优美全球取景的豪华大片，很是难得
大嘤帝国就这么随随便便把日俄争议领土给炸了？以及反派就这么随随便便就把日俄争议领土给当老窝了？克格勃是干什么吃的？
我怀疑编剧中国言情小说看多了，这是一个精彩的带球跑爱情故事。
不出意外是丹尼尔的最后一部007，结尾有点烂俗了。
偶尔路过，看看热闹，并且看看4个明星长到多老。雾林追车的效果：“风萧萧而异响，云漫漫而奇色。舟凝滞于水滨，车逶迟于山侧。”结果死了很多辆豪车。
愛有時，恨有時，告别有時，期待下集女版！！
5.5分。太长了，居然比上一部还长。前一个小时还稍微有点意思，至少视听上的娱乐性尚可，之后就不知道睡着了几次。唯一的记忆点是我（线上）采访了拉米·马雷克，尽管过程相当灾难。
超乎意料地难看啊🤪是真的拍不下去了。其实冷战时代保守主义的大IP居然一直能用到这会儿，还不断在第三世界收割，说明这些年创作者们各种掩饰、微调的工作也都做得够拼了，如今是真没招了，可以歇歇了……
怎么说呢这些个美国大片好像不会写台词了一样。。。
黑人女版007已上线做好预热，下部就成主角了吧。。。╮（￣▽￣ ）╭
真的是时代终结。丹尼尔的007是最耐看的，有情有义，有血有肉。身材管理很好，一点儿不拉胯。007系列肯定要收藏的。
