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".
优秀的演员老了也很有魅力呢（p*ta madre各位学会了吗XD
发现飞机残骸以及女人出现的时候以为会有什么故事发生 但是并没有
老年杀手的阿兹海默症，当审判来的太慢，那就帮忙手刃幼女性剥削这群毒瘤！#电影 #记忆
片尾亮了，这电影《掘金》好比做交易，你发现一只牛股，你告诉了他。但还没有启动，这时需要人蹲点，另一个去找资金加杠杆，赚更多。然而等了很久很久，找资金的人看着他。他自己在这次交易中，可以获利出局，享受财富自由，人生自由的生活。但是抵挡不住人性的贪婪，还是想吃到最后。结果可想而知，死在了高位上。这时候加杠杆的资金人也回来了，买在了山顶，就好比片尾被箭射死，也死在了贪婪中。
也就那样吧，普普通通，最后面一刀出乎意料，很解恨！
很悲惨的结局，面对权钱相护最终只能以暴制暴。美国是多缺杀手啊，死活要雇一个70岁还老年痴呆先兆的人去杀人，完不成还不行，最后被一锅端了吧
记忆营救，居然想要一个杀人无数作恶多端的老爷子杀手，不要死，好好活下去。最后给被开除的警探不在场证明，可能是因为警方第一个抓的嫌疑人可能就是他吧，怕他被冤枉进监狱或者出纰漏招供了那个警员，虽然那警员没有给尼森叔说道歉（在尼森叔游轮排队杀了富婆儿子后开车跑路开枪打中了尼森叔），但是最后那一刀，才是真真正正的歉意和告慰这个侠义满满的老年杀手。
很不错的故事，演员也很棒，就是为什么评分这么低
好在结局没像《守法公民》那样恶心，手刃反派大快人心。你腐蚀法律，我也能钻法律的空子。
此时此刻，以物换物的乾坤大挪移技能施展了。
唉，男主好蠢。真的毫无社会经验。其实明明有几个选择。自己本来就没有野外生存能力，甚至可以说经验为0。一开始我觉得他要么别告诉司机，要么跟司机一起去都可能结果会好一点。
关键时刻，枪里竟然没有撞针？这个故事告诉我们什么，细节决定成败啊！
《掘金》是一部不错的探宝类影片，虽然看过很多类似的电影，但我觉得，掘金还是拍出了不一样新意，比如大漠孤烟，困守于此的人类和动物、游走在罕无人迹的姐妹花等等，影片情节看似简单，却深刻的揭示了人性在财富面前，所显示的那种自私和贪婪。
大叔是真的尽力了，但是叙述节奏真的是有问题，前面没有讲清楚而且推进缓慢，过多的文戏酝酿太久很难让人坚持到最后，实际上片子要到后面3/4处才渐入佳境，各种含糊不清都开始显山露水逐渐融合，很好的设定，演员也很卖力，可惜了。
英雄迟暮，象一位老朋友，只要片子不要太差到IMDB5分以下，一般还是看一下。
一部可以看看的电影。
剧情七零八落的，为了跟片名记忆呼应上在最后硬生生来了一出靠记忆找到关键证据的桥段，我真是醉了。
说实话若不是这类片子这十几年来太多太多还真的是不错的啦。诶😩要啥有啥，正义伸张！噢耶还行啦，这年纪真的辛苦的哇！⭐
莫妮卡贝鲁奇毁三观(´•ω•̥`)退休费不是这么挣的
连姆尼森是老了，但是一定要给他安排老年痴呆的设定吗
