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".
后面比前面好看，前边太话痨了。女主智商业务能力都很强。
现在的米国片是不是必须得有各种肤色的人搁一块拍才能ZZ正确？
设在荒郊野岭的警察局，改成监狱或许更合逻辑。骗子、追捕者和杀手在警局大开杀戒的设定是很合观众胃口的，可惜拍烂了……
喜歡這類一夜殺戮的電影，很緊湊。劇情緊張刺激。最後二十分鐘破功了，很俗套
殖民主义、帝国主义、资本主义的矛盾与恶性竞争哪去了，这么一拍整个一战反倒成了自家的家里问题，成了小家子气的小打小闹，可谓是给历史的一记面目全非脚，这种意淫非但不助于人们理解历史，反倒会曲解和使历史感与真正的历史问题及其严肃性彻底消失，沦为资本商业化的消遣与消费产品。
阵容、拍摄、表演、节奏其实都很不错，但是看完总体感觉差点意思，导演显然是想把一个常规犯罪故事拍得脱俗一点、内涵丰富一点、文艺一点，但是效果显然没有达到。
故事很拉跨，枪战勉强有点看头，巴特勒还是不要勉强文戏了。如果以为能看到《血战13号警署》请谨慎观看。
非常喜欢女主这个人物，重置密码那段临危不乱简直帅炸了。能打、演技不错、外形辨识度高，这个女演员前途不可限量，希望看到更多她的好作品。故事从给到警局外景到进入警局，就注定了这是部我非常喜欢的类型，就是很奇妙的感应。相较非常类似的《血溅13号警署》更喜欢这部的封闭空间。虽然对杰拉德·巴特勒绝地反击的期待落空了，但有其他几个角色的光芒都非常亮眼，平衡的很好，也是太好，巴特勒反而平庸起来，没什么发挥余地。
Fuck the gentlemen shit.系列里所有曾经优雅的特质都尽数消亡了，甚至“Manners makath man”都是从反派口中说出的。四年的时间，马修沃恩只做出了一个以戏谑历史来迎合西方观众恶趣味审美的产物。
黑人，女警察，最后的强者。这片响应了被白人警察跪杀的乔治·弗洛伊德事件。
小成本制作，但是不出彩，浪费了两位好演员。黑人女警演的还蛮好。全片废话装逼过多。多给一星以示鼓励。
我真的…有些地方还是觉得很好笑 比如硬要卖点腐 真不愧是腐界世界第一大国 又比如欧洲史演义 还有皇帝三次方和真黑人问号笑死 第一部惊艳的全体爆头是再也回不去了 来到这里落得个全部打戏都过长的闷蛋下场 不过费叔一把年纪仍然是扛这么多打戏的唯一男主 respect 我本以为Harris Dickinson会是男主的 想不到一半就… 幸好这一半很密集地给他各种换装 不然就太亏了（虽然演了个傻儿子） Matthew Goode是不是特别想证明自己不是花瓶（哭） 最后！Taylor-Johnson啊啊啊啊啊啊啊太少戏了吧！是不是之后还有！
乡村警局陷落，剪剪更好，装腔作势的对决能少点不？枪战很港片
有多喜欢第一部，就有多讨厌这部前传。据说后面还有至少两部“王牌特工”电影，我直接绝望了。首作一些有趣的地方并没有什么延续，黑科技道具早就在预告片亮相了，动作戏亮点不多，纵观全片仅有拉斯普京“坟头蹦迪”处尚可一看，结果往后一看还有一个钟头的时长。整部电影风格混乱，像是片段的拼贴。破解阴谋愚蠢恶俗得像70年代的异域探险片。本来以为是主角的儿子突然就领便当了，他的成长线是正剧风格。故事衔接让人摸不着头脑，总之就是硬编故事。作为主角的老牛津说了不少殖民主义的坏话，结果还是让一个黑人给他当牛做马。戏说历史部分令我感到不适。我是个共趣小鬼，因而对抹黑列宁的彩蛋感到相当恶心。这也使得本片从两星片变成了一星。希望这个系列不要再拍下去了，至少不要拍历史。美帝的文化霸权实在是怕了😨
及格吧，中间杀手之间浴室互搏那段太暗了，看不清。
导演和编剧本来可以整一出精彩又不拖沓的小成本爽片，but they fucked it up
紧张刺激，总体情节和剧情还是不错，动作设定挺不错，扣分地方就是把里面警察的智商全部为了剧情降低，女主一个新警察就是十项全能，同时整个警局都被端了，最后还要被烧，居然没有一个救援，难度大大降低，这个设定太BUG
高峰就是警局中的大叔追小妞，其他的卧底，话痨，反杀，诈死，复活，好像都无关紧要了
1 Mathew Goode是坏老大。2 整个片只有几个男主角的颜看得下去，有一段赤身肉搏可以当Sean Cody的interracial看了。3 片尾曲Measure of a Man非常好听，演唱者FKA Twigs。但是有两个版本，本片用的是(Cinematic)版，别选错了。
各方势力各怀鬼胎齐聚枪溪警署，明争暗斗相互制衡，尔虞我诈勾心斗角包袱一个个逐渐抖开，内部人物关系亦渐渐明朗。感觉还是有点刻意营造气氛、端得太久了，有些拖了，再紧凑一点就好了。
