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".
一個美軍基地輕易被恐怖分子攻破，有點扯，故事太牽強了。
真糟糕，战术战略完全不讲胡乱biu，圣母女表+无头苍蝇反派，看似严密的黑军事监狱轻松被攻破，小钢炮都没一发，重机枪都没一挺，突突突还没哔哔哔的话字儿多...阿金斯你上点心行不，好歹也算是个腕儿了，挑片子把眼睛擦亮点好伐...
还不错，现实版的CS训练营，虽然最后主角光环杀了太多人有点过分，不过反恐的逻辑和反思还是掩盖了保安体系的儿戏。稍微有点长，后面有些拖沓。
看的太爽太刺激了。全程一镜到底仿佛跟着海豹突击队身临其境经历了这场绝望的Rescue Mission。到最后Last Man Standing的那十几分钟，真的是心都要悬到嗓子眼了。
一镜到底的尝试不错，没有独沽动作长镜头一味，动静结合，中间换了五六个人的视点，生动而不枯燥。借高潮戏人体炸弹换了口气。剧情太经不起推敲，看似简单的押运任务因恐怖分子劫狱变成大混战的点子不错，女押运官的劝服手段和人质的心理转变太过匪夷所思。比较起来，一辆卡车运来上百劫匪挨枪子儿都不算什么大bug了。打戏以枪战为主，有点浪费阿特金斯的拳脚。
顶多给两星，那么多反派一个一个排队送人头，假的让人恶心。
除了一些逻辑问题比如水中的城市如何维持电力等，其他方面感觉还可以，故事本身和讲述都很有吸引力。类似《银翼杀手》的复古未来风格，休-杰克曼很绅士，扑克牌和水箱都联想到《致命魔术》。台词写得也很棒啊， If there are ghosts to be found, it's us who haunt the past.
人肉炸弹炸完恐怖分子不立刻清扫战场，
分数：73
一镜到底是本片的失败之处。电影让人看到头晕，这样的一镜到底不要也罢。
虽然设定在未来水世界+记忆机器，但这并不是一部科幻片啊……
什么傻闭电影。这些评分纯属假的刷出来的吧。一个人表演杀了一车无限多可以自动出来的人。杀到最后空中资源还没到。无脑的电影…给一分多了一个仓库拍完电影成本制作估计一百块钱
升级版的营救题材。枪战集中，女一太弱，场面不好，集中在岛上，没有大场面，海上戏都没有，像个CS。索马里行动可以借鉴。缉毒类的营救也可以借鉴。
三星的故事，一镜到底加一分。开局很晃，感觉摄影师有点晕机。喜欢这种一镜到底的编排，爽、紧张、压力和意外全部被挤压到有限时间，值得反复观摩学习。
有几个地方比较穿帮，潜行的主角应该是暴露在敌人视野里的，但敌人无动于衷。不过不影响整体效果。
一镜到底的长镜头，经典剧情：关于海豹突击队接活被敌人插了一杠子那件事。枪战动作戏很带感，小黑队员太稳了，枪枪要害，一杆枪架住对面四个人。身披炸弹那小伙子，临死前还强行被吃了一张大饼，这脑洗的太过分了。
一镜到底制作的小成本动作片，剧情很简单，打斗和枪战场面还算流畅。
笨拙到极致的枪战，看得出来演员是想模仿硬核战争电影里的战术动作，但东施效颦，持枪动作之类的学得就是不像。各个人物蠢得只会站桩输出，道具更经不起推敲，没有防弹衣，即使穿了防弹衣里面看上去也没有插板。战斗中军方这边守点甚至没有一个丢手雷烟雾弹的，亏得还是marine，Seal，PMC级别的武装。倒是恐怖分子晓得扔雷，他们随便凑几块铁板军用步枪弹都打不穿，要按这烂片的搞法，特警都不需要防暴盾牌了，防弹能力还不如废铁板。剧情已经可以不用讨论了，估计也只能拿【一镜到底】之类的概念忽悠文青了。
动作片用一镜到底的拍摄手法还真的是神！基本没什么剧情，就无脑爽爆的动作片
7分。干净利落的动作爽片。全程几组长镜头体现了导演非凡的调度和摄影高超的技艺。斯科特和阿什利演得非常好，一众演员演技全部在线，好看的真人cs电影。
