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".
两个主角从头到尾没起到什么关键作用，倒是让张伯伦给大家上了一堂政治的艺术。
看了一半的时候feel like：十年前那种二战背景历史正剧欧风原耽中篇的感觉……包括结尾的几次闪回确实很怅惘，但说实话缺乏对角色本身转变的刻画和逻辑，只能讲还是演员选得好……Hugh和Paul都不太会当间谍的样子，99%的紧张感在于“大哥你们小心点啊这很容易被发现”从历史片角度来看这部电影拍得也就这么回事
这可能是我看过最形神兼备的张伯伦，有血有肉有感情，并不觉得导演是给他翻案，希特勒就比较符号扁平化。有既成历史背景束缚，故事就难发挥，不过节奏气氛很好。
战争一直都没有结束
中规中矩的二战“历史片”，聚焦了影视作品很少注意的慕尼黑会议，但是过分夸大了小人物在历史洪流中的作用，甚至美化了张伯伦，导致中后段观感不佳
《巴比伦柏林》联名《唐顿庄园》？与其说是洗白张伯伦，不如说是借历史背景编出了一出经不起推敲的无智商间谍戏。对比《至暗时刻》，就显得很呵呵了。
分分钟感觉两个人都要热吻在一起，
重塑历史记忆是很重要的一件事，先是《敦刻尔克：英国英勇战斗之地》，跟着就是《张伯伦：被误解的抵抗者》、《苏联：二战的发动者》，过两年再拍一部《希特勒：欧洲的守护者》。
对这个电影的好感更多来自于求知欲的满足，从来不对二战感兴趣，以往的了解都来自于影音资料。在还原历史的基础上，凸显了几个人物，历史既视感很强。两位小人物的性格直接影射了英国的保守与德国的激进。小人物的努力与首相的选择做出对比，深感政治真是无上的脑力游戏。
两个年轻人挺打动人的，为他们的命运揪着，但是说张伯伦是为争取备战时间这样做的，是不是有点过于拔高，这段史实我不是太清楚。
mackay才是名副其实的电影脸，为大银幕而生
导演把蓝眼睛帅哥拍得太好看了，帅哥演技也很好。运镜很有想法，就是故事有点无聊
抛开争议不论，电影本身拍得还是挺有感觉。以小人物反映大历史，算是一种合理想象。还有谍战片的feel。演员的表现都很不错。不过保罗为什么不去刺杀希特勒这点难以让人代入，着实没拍好。
把我想多给的私心⭐抵掉了……
影片中张伯伦的形象很高大，他不惜牺牲自己声誉，拯救天下苍生。但是无论张伯伦动机如何，这都不是绥靖合理的理由。为张伯伦绥靖喝彩的人，是不是不知道捷克斯洛伐克代表卑微命运，他们只能在会议室门口等着；是不是不知道捷克斯洛伐克最终被德国吞并
有一点真让希特勒说准了。但是，我们每个人只能打手里的这副牌，出于骄傲的僭越并不会让我们更righteous。
这可能是我看过最形神兼备的张伯伦，有血有肉有感情，并不觉得导演是给他翻案，希特勒就比较符号扁平化。有既成历史背景束缚，故事就难发挥，不过节奏气氛很好。
最近连着看了同时代的德国题材，特别是又看到了巴比伦柏林里的女主。可惜历史永远没有如果。
歌相当好听。2022-4-27 00:21:04
这没想到这么烂，再精美的服化道也掩盖不了剧本的弱智，不知道是原著小说的弱还是改编的弱，种种不符基本逻辑、违背常识的弱智场景看得让人尴尬要死（您干嘛不再喊大声点“我要刺杀希特勒”），“夏洛特小姐”和老戏骨们也救不了这烂戏，俩男主角除了长得好看演技也是令人尴尬，一个面瘫一个“马景涛”。。。
