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".
冲着狼叔+吴彦祖看的。虽然剧情老套，但不得不感慨好莱坞的美指和DP太厉害了，和国产电影已经不在一个维度了。大全景和室外的景都太美了
我祖说着:poor 龟孙子
男主咋就爱上女主，并非要探查真相？
浪费了那么好的卡司! 这个剧情也太无聊了!!
狼叔和碟中谍女主、西部世界女配上演一场中年人的恋爱，狼叔沉浸在和女主在一起的记忆中了却余生
最大的问题还是在于回忆的绝对真实性，使得真相的获得简单而略显无趣了，当然编剧也意识到了这点，所以在影片的一前一后中女主“创造”了两段回忆：丢钥匙事件引发男主听歌、借他人回忆给男主留遗言。只是相当可惜的是，这种方式本可以在本片中大量运用来获取相当的“谍战”效果，毕竟导演的丈夫可是以烧脑著称的编剧诺兰。保守下的叙事过于平淡，转折也略显简单，观众与角色的情感共鸣实在难以链接。回文这种构造形式在影片中用的相当得体，文戏的情报却以简单粗暴的打戏来获取，打戏打的实在一般。和《西部世界》一样，都是小资的文本，只不过一个真的高级，这部的相当装。对于男女性角色的设定也相当好莱坞传统甚至可以说刻板，男性勇闯天涯释放愤怒，女性理解持家守卫善良，你在回忆中追爱，我在现实给你打营养液。
地产商与私生子 水世界与回忆机器 给力助手与贪污警察 吴彦祖帅的
这台词谁写的呀要笑死了一句人话没有，一股子中老年人装酷的味道。女主角一唱歌让我想起《天堂口》了，SB和不性感如出一辙还都有蛋妞。不过蛋妞其实还行，大概因为他有丰富的经验知道如何在烂片里把枪握得好看。不像休杰克曼简直就是来了好莱坞十年第一次出演录像带电影的小演员。
还原记忆居然基本都是客观视角这就很没有逻辑了，问题是有一个场景的记忆还原是主观视角，说明导演知道这个问题但她没能力驾驭这个设定。
115分钟56秒 23.976fps 流媒体WEB 以为是科幻片，谁知道是这么无聊的剧情片
2分电影，为瑞贝卡的美貌+1星，如果不是狼叔和她这片子很难让你看下去。能看出来导演的想法很好，但是就是太小气、太年轻，还有就是女导演的通病：太细腻，什么都想拍一点，容易沉浸在自我感动之中。当然不是没有优点，里面的台词非常值得回味，狼叔和瑞贝卡在阳台那一段对白我很难忘怀，这就是女导演的优势，能够细致的表达情感。
想跟休叔的同事一起对他翻白眼。披着科幻外衣的俗套侦探爱情故事。明明是挖掘记忆，非要以可视化的全息影片呈现，还是上帝视角的舞台剧形式，导致完全没有可信性。
so we can look again.
Daniel Wu的gangster菜的抠脚竟给一小女人团灭，，服了
我觉得很好看诶……很久没看过那么纯爱的电影了……
事实证明把简单的故事通过叙事手法和结构形式变复杂高端不是谁都能掌握的技巧。故事只值两星，把简单的故事说的枯燥乏味。但是架不住丽贝卡太有魅力和风情，以及休叔丽贝卡吴彦祖三个好身材，忍不住再加一星。晚礼服包裹下露出的女性肌肤太性感了。
老套故事结构下包装了一层科幻和反阶层的外衣，狼叔演得吧也只能算是一般般，因为吴彦祖想看的话我劝退你打消这个念头吧，他在全片中加起来的时间不超过10分钟…该剧的悬疑属性极弱，未来水世界的设定还不如当年的未来水世界。只能算很一般的一部片。
大家都很帅，可以勉强为了脸把分往上抬一抬。但是剧情就很烂，这个末世科幻高概念设定，一开始整得挺玄乎，结果看着看着，就这？就这？祖哥下线那段剧情之弱智，我只能说，很难再有比这更离谱的剧情杀了……整部片就是用来玩手机打发时间当BGM蛮合适的。话说修哥接这个戏是图点啥？
我已经笑死在瓜子里了。
The story is kind of cliche love story and I was bored a bit. The fighting scenes are joking, or maybe it's just how people fight and react in that dystopian near-future. But oh God! Hugh Jackman is officially the sexy God for me now! His voice, his face and body have turned me on so much! (2021/08/28 13:25)
