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".
这是第一部能让我从头看到尾的网大也是我至今为止看过最好的电竞电影片中的道具做的太用心了尤其是枪械片中的动作也做到了既真实又贴合游戏在网大里有着这么优秀质量的电影真的不多。
1星给的是游戏题材（虽然不是重点）就像是一场梦 醒来还是很感动 有说到游戏的事情
故事完整，父子情、热血燃、游戏中的队友情以及爱情都处理得恰到好处，手法成熟得不像是一个新人导演。
像样的电竞电影！好在游戏氛围的还原以及流畅有趣的叙事，下次麻烦把片名认真取一下！
亮点：
确实比现在院线上的一些垃圾好点儿，好歹是能讲个完整的故事，即便这故事有些老套。
《硬汉枪神》，乍一看这种顶着一个俗气的名字去讲述一个烂大街游戏的网络电影注定不会太精彩，哪怕口碑好评如潮，我也并没有抱着太大预期，然而观影过后的感觉已经没法用“惊艳”二字去形容了；导演领悟到了如何拍好游戏改编电影的精髓：形魂合一，捅过第一人称和第三人称的切换展示出游戏画面、直播视角和电影表达的高度统一，结尾处毒圈里两人为了荣誉的平底锅的一对一决斗更是深化了游戏的主题——困境求生，强者为王；此外，电影里还原了各种游戏中的花式操作（无缝切换载具躲闪、毒圈打药比命长等），可以看出导演在具备扎实的影视功底的同时，应该也是游戏的深度玩家；虽然电影《硬汉枪神》的故事主线套路化，社会底层逆袭人生的设定与现实脱节严重，但是电影依然不失为一部远超预期的优秀作品，值得所有游戏改编电影去学习。
096号。很聪明，激烈的动作场面都在游戏里，所以观众对于视效要求不高，但由于电竞的设定其紧张程度是一样的。故事很套路，就是一路逆袭最后一切都获得，完成度还不错，节奏也好。
超出预期，热血、燃情，既有电竞的沸腾感和真实感，又能展现生活的平凡与朴实，这样一部真人吃鸡题材的电影，做到这个地步，主创真的用心了，好看！
多一星给用心，用心做电影，中国电影也很好看
雀食很超出预期，各种游戏的战术意想不到的专业，很惊喜了
超出预期，热血、燃情，既有电竞的沸腾感和真实感，又能展现生活的平凡与朴实，这样一部真人吃鸡题材的电影，做到这个地步，主创真的用心了，好看！
故事本身很80后童话，努力就会有回报、屌丝逆袭、收获第二春，这种现在看来稍微陈旧的叙事显然不太能在主流的影视界里立足，但是借助网大的低姿态和题材的下沉，能精准的投放到自己的受众眼前，不得不说是个很聪明的举动。如今资本为了蹭电竞热度到处恶意消费电竞出了一堆垃圾玩意，这种主创们尊重游戏也尊重自己的游戏经历的电影是让人眼前一亮的清流，值得点赞和鼓励。
这部电影最大的价值，是彰显这么一个道理：资本可以把控一群人，但无法精准控制到具体个体的思想行为，没错我说的就是最后那位“光头强”，以及现实网络中出现许许多多个体对抗资本的例子。他们确实没法撬动资本的基石，但能够让它偏离一丁点原定方向，就已经是凡人之躯的巨大成就。
文戏方面，剧情大框较为简单，但情感刻画细腻。被这对父子的温情感染了，父子俩虽然过得狼狈，但困境中的相扶相持还是令人感动的。机场这段两人还没拥抱到一起，我就感动得潸然泪下，果然亲情是所有影视作品永恒的主题。
2021年第15部。优点同缺点一样明显，最近在迷吃鸡游戏，加一分感情分
作为网大完成度真的很高 特别是游戏特效部分真的很还原 剧情普普通通吧但是也没有很大的槽点 还不错
意外看的很热血。。。比唐探的吃鸡桥段强不要太多。。。
开篇就吸引住目光，场景、道具、服饰、动作、跟拍视角，神还原游戏场景，甚至比游戏场景更好。励志+温情的情节，加之各类时弊的吐槽，CS时代的人也看得很有共鸣。完全超越院线的存在，如果非要说缺点，那就是片名有点二和运镜有点乱。
6.5分。依然是网络电影水准，剧情比较牵强，游戏还原度逼真，配乐较燃
