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".
这个计划主导人Ewen Montagu的弟弟竟然是后来的接纳中国加入的ittf主席Ivor Montagu，原来他还被怀疑过是苏联情报人员，那个von roenne是后来和施陶芬贝格搞瓦尔基里行动的，只能说这个瞒天过海记能成真的悬。
最好缩减到100min左右，情节可以紧凑些。主要就是里面的这段感情戏份真的没必要加，太突兀和刻意，唯一能共情的也许是那封情书。谍战戏份和科林费斯都不错，豆瓣评分有点低了。
其实除了暗杀的中二元素以外，就是两个性格缺陷的社会边缘人想要融入社会屡遭挫折，友情也遭遇小波折最后重归于好的故事。
这片其实应该是“绞肉行动”背后的故事，整体有些平淡，玩了些梗，抖了点机灵，让人感觉不咸不淡。至于这次行动是否真有那么重要，恐怕也是情报机关自吹自擂而已，属于“忽悠局”的功劳。不过影片的英式范还是挺足的，几位演员表演还算精彩，波澜不惊。最好玩的是让伊恩-弗莱明打了回酱油。
Matthew还真自带喜剧气氛了，运镜剪辑相当工整 整体观感算愉悦的，致命点是剧情和节奏都平成这样极其underwhelming，大概剧本重点本不在人塑 都很扁平 无法对任何一个角色产生一丝共情

带英打仗不行，往自己脸上贴金很行。丢魁弃甲抛弃盟友可以吹成敦刻尔克大撤退，哈士奇登录可以吹成大成功。
豆瓣的品味现在越来越低俗了，总是给那些直白且无聊的电影高分。
这帮英国男演员怎么一天到晚升官发财死老婆的……
演绎真史够精彩，蛇足恋情欠动人。
一本正经的无聊至极。对战争的不合理行为的解释和描述被突如其来的中年人谈恋爱与办公室感情戏完全消解掉了。
乱七八糟的，逻辑不清楚，怪不得那么容易睡🥲
感觉可以给到3.5星 plot twists很多很惊喜 但是节奏总是差了那么一点 以及其实谍战片里真的没有必要加模棱两可的感情戏hhh
首页说很难看所以来看看到底有多难看🥹集齐了两个达西一个奈特利
在爱奇艺上花六块钱看的点播。男主演阵容太吸引我，可惜拍的太中规中矩
心里有小不安的话，请一定找人聊一聊。说出来，心里就会轻松一点儿。——比留间荣子
感觉这班英国佬挺蠢的，瞎猫碰上个死老鼠，原来就靠这个打赢战役？？？！电影本身前面铺垫的海量感情戏有点莫名其妙，综合来说，真的给个差评！
哈哈哈哈哈，两只小可爱，吼吼吼吼。不是所有人都喜欢JOJO吧，哈哈哈哈。还是很爽的呀，哈哈哈。田坂先生真的很头疼呢，哈哈哈哈。各种暗示教育和社会现状，一切都是government的错误吗？红红火火恍恍惚惚。希望和寓言梦幻联动，构建霓虹的John wick宇宙，哈哈哈哈哈哈。
去掉无聊的多角恋后，把核心剧情当做一群编剧在打磨剧本的话还算说得过去，真正有趣的是弗莱明从此走向间谍小说大宗师的各种彩蛋。
