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".
虽然有些环节老套了点，但是冲女主可以给4星（LSP）
IMAX2D。基本符合预期。丹尼尔·克雷格的007终结篇，意外地把焦点放在了家庭上，邦德这一次不为任务，不为国家，而是为了家人出身入死，反派也同样是为了家人复仇，相比于其他系列史诗终章，格局虽然不大，却多了几分人味。人一旦人动了情便有了软肋，即使无暇赴死也不得不死，詹姆斯·邦德或者说丹尼尔·克雷格这一次简直是百炼钢也化作绕指柔了。
四颗星分别给：丹叔、丹叔的谢幕戏、阿玛斯以及大显神威的阿斯顿马丁DB5，非常非常情怀的一部，并且告诉我们，炸弹是炸不死007的，导弹才可以。主创明显想乘机试试观众对下一代007来个大颠覆的反应，但拜托千万不要。
Daniel craig版的Bond完美謝幕 他詮釋的Bond絕對是系列史上詮釋最多內心戲的 很可惜真的是結局了😭😭😭 下次再出現的Bond就是完全重啟了. 爛蕃茄的評分狂掉估計是片子拍太長和大家對結局的處理接受不能!!! 意外片尾曲選了louis armstrong 的 We Have All The Time In The World 看完心情確實有點悶
生死有时这个译名和那句“我们有的是时间”是相互矛盾的，邦德本就应该与电影的黄金时代一同老去的～有些致敬桥段都get不到点了，想来也是略带忧伤。
老辈影迷不晓得见过伊丽莎白赫利 加上90年的玛格罗比 大家都长得很像啊
结局挺出乎意料 以为又是走俗气的那套假戏真做 穷人的朴实坚贞反衬了富人的虚情假意
导演编剧是用了心
结尾开发商取消了对贫民社区的改造项目，这个不太现实吧，资本有这么良善吗？
007本就是个旧日世界的故事，这个系列早该终结了，是丹尼尔克雷格和他接手后第一部成绩优秀的皇家赌场让它又存续了十几年。这部无暇赴死是一个迟到的closure，有了爱和牵挂的孤鹰不再是孤鹰，他的不死神话就此破灭了。
还不错 起承转合有点模板化 整体看下来挺舒服的
7分，很温暖的小人物和种族梗，政治正确到甚至亚裔也覆盖到了 2022-07-23@北官厅
科学家从电梯井垂直坠到底部的磁悬浮的设计超好
剧情有点夸张但是很可爱，有内在的逻辑和现实基础，祈祷世界被爱覆盖而不是对立和算计。
主题是 丹尼尔·克雷格 这版恒久不变的【真爱、秘密、背叛】。
老套，但是挺治愈的故事，大概也只能羡慕下电影世界里的这种美好了
男主边装番茄酱边爆发的那幕真的很戳心，真的，勇敢点，少来点妄自菲薄，你值得的！
有的东西不在于它到底有多好，而在于它出现的时间如此恰当；这是一个我愿意约的所有人都没空的晚上，还刚刚在许久不联系的前女友那碰了一鼻子灰，as u know，这种恋爱式的爽文设计一下子就击中了我，我竟然还一直盼望着男女主能真的上床；至于真的在一起，我是多么希望能够是真实的啊，可惜我早就长大了。可能以后我回看这段记录会很奇怪吧，它简直和影评半点关系也不沾，但也许，那种解构才是不真实的套路呢？我很喜欢这样，不管不管。
中年男人看这种电影总耐不住想入非非，还好结尾让你们清醒一点。喜剧和温情同在，做个正直的好人就好
