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".
当战机加推力爬升的时候，仿佛置身其中感受那速度。战斗场面比较少，剧情嘛…看就完事
不过那平行剪辑的邂逅有点甜。
最后说着英语的美雇佣兵被俄特种兵击毙的时候，我就决定给4星。
还不错，挺丰满的片子。美国佬到处捣乱。反派挂得太快了。让我认识到了毛子的战略轰炸机，还是双座可变机翼的。
就俄毛子來說⋯還行
真的可以快进到最后苏醒的女主出厂那几十秒....我这是在等彩蛋的感觉..........

战争中牺牲的每个人背后都是一个家庭，小男孩代表了传承。
大鹅主旋律电影，要素齐全，情感烘托也到位，前半部分拖沓了些
评论里都看完全片了吗？所有战争镜头稀烂好吧，前后衔接毫无逻辑，宛如一堆不知所措的素材被杂乱地塞进ppt。倒是剧情推进自然流畅，首尾呼应，于细微处见爱国主义，可以说是很精致的叙事了。扣一星是给崩得非常彻底的救援过程的。
看得出来整个幕后制作过程的混乱，编剧出身的朴勋政这次也是彻底放弃，不再雕琢文本，华纳撤资引发的巨大的换角争议和故事重置，以香港电影创作系列支线作品时惯常使用的正牌主角露脸客串+复制首部情节的快节奏粗线条方式，被乱中求稳的平衡掉了，毕竟这一切都是次要的——更加夸张的动作设计成为最大卖点，纵然超能力对决的想象除了继续过分卖弄残暴血腥外已然局限在了好莱坞流水线，但作为漫改片对于动作戏开打前场面氛围的仪式感还是营造得非常酷炫甚至浪漫的，并再度流露出了朴勋政的迷影趣味，他大概也非常喜欢德·帕尔玛的《凶线》吧。
俄罗斯战争片新鲜
生化改造人非控制原子就不必吐槽了，
有什么可黑的，这片要是国产，岂不是要被吹爆
生化改造人非控制原子就不必吐槽了，
叙事拖沓乏味，剪辑背大锅。但是片子摄影，特效任属于中等偏上水平。优秀在于枪械打斗质感非常的棒，武器细节一遍看过没有发现什么“解放战争用ak”的离奇问题。甚至特种兵们换肩操作行云流水，估摸着大概率是在役人员真实出演。这点就不要拿国内某军事电影出来闹腾了，还是那句话，多学学多看看，戏剧夸大可以，脱离基础不行
战斗民族的现代战争还是第一次看，果然大国武力
整部电影的节奏有问题，没看出来重点是什么。导演既要表达军队战斗场面，又突出了俄罗斯对士兵的重视和军事的强硬，但是前面的铺垫却讲了太久的家庭情感以及出征前的准备。平铺直叙流水账一般。
电影拍得支离破碎，感情戏的篇幅这儿大加进来干嘛，电影中有2次跳伞，一次都顺利落地然后被抓，第二次跳伞天上就死了一个，不知道什么情况。如果需要说明年轻的时候故事为什么不能一次性说清楚，碎片化的穿插真心看的累。
挺好的电影，没什么槽点，就是国内没有上映，只有看的半懂得机翻，不过大概意思还是懂得…
