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".

4.这原始的攻击方式真的超帅，可惜了，电影就这段算有点帅！
作为电影还不错，洗白就算了吧，看完就记得bgm了，顺便摘了眼镜的Jannis真的好帅啊
geschwester Scholz Platz和Odeonsplatz😭
不得不说，宝莱坞的影片比大多数国产电影要精彩。只要你有充分的心理准备，你绝对能在华丽浮夸的情节中和美艳的印度女星、熊一样的印度土著们欢乐地度过两三个小时。故事情节很简单，居然能拍出三小时，而且节奏明快，让人毫无困顿；动作到肉见血，快意恩仇，让人热血上涌；印式意淫比华式神剧有意思得多，敬仰他们让总督女眷成为印度土著的舔狗；影片还附带了民族精神和国家主义，所以主旋律不用那么严肃；必不可少的歌舞也一秒不拉地看完了，这比春晚要好看……
Christain Schwochow。Netflix 出品。Robert Harris 小說。傑瑞米艾朗，張伯倫，避戰。英國人、德國人，曾經共度大學時光的同學，分別在兩國的諜報網中牽動二戰局勢。George MacKay 和 Jessica Brown Findlay 都不錯。August Diehl 製造了奇妙的納粹 deja vu。精巧的緊張感，戰爭開始前夕，政治現實，現實永遠不只是當下，卻只能是當下。短板是過於激情，兩個主角的小圈圈有點吞噬掉其他東西。在尾段強化張伯倫的底牌與斡旋力，風暴。字卡提供修正張伯倫評價的敘述。
英国总督和他婆娘＝变态公婆
洗白张伯伦，也是够了。绥靖政策主导者正是张伯伦，也就是绥靖政策进一步撩拨了纳粹的野心，并没有像电影中所说的延缓战争，反而是加速了战争的到来。
跟《巴霍巴利王》一样，等于把英雄电影拍成了超级英雄电影，更注重的是爽感与视觉享受，合理性就实在没法考虑了。如果有机会，可以在大银幕上看到这样的电影，应该也挺过瘾的。不过，印度电影实在是太长了。
看的很开心，虽然浮夸，但算是蛮有效果的一部电影，反正开心就好。双男主超越摩斯密码的沟通，比美国队长还强悍的体质，拯救来拯救去的，一来二去的，感情更深厚。反正没有什么是手抓在一起不能解决的。
没想到在商业大片全线拉胯的2022年，印度神片依旧维持高水准，各种创意层出不穷，真是矮子里拔将军啊，S·S 拉贾穆里导演，血呲呼啦爽！
张伯伦的初心是好的，但是太过善良的人别搞政治。
燃！燃！燃！第一次被“无脑片”燃到热泪盈眶，也第一次觉得国产抗日神剧跟印度抗英神片比起来，确实低调克制了许多。喋血双雄，主角光环全程加持，完全不讲逻辑不合情理，一路开挂，两个人就打垮了英国几个团的军力，好几场“一夫当关，万夫莫开”的对抗戏真的有被“侮辱”到智商，漫威的超级英雄也不敢这么拍，全片多到令人发指的特写慢镜头，可恶，被他装到了。
我对历史题材小说改编的电影总是很宽容，不需要逻辑严谨，最后能圆出一个好玩的结局就行。是配乐和镜头语言把这部电影救回及格线的，小酒馆聚会和牛津派对又弄成美则美矣的鸡肋了，最后俩男主分食一根烟怪浪漫的，谁让我就是喜欢这种cliche。把女性角色塑造成隐藏辅助才是年代剧的正确打开方式，三个女人各有各的坚韧与勇敢，同时也起到了不可或缺的作用。吐槽女性角色还不如吐槽男主，性格如白纸做主线任务能力又差，简直独自carry起观众的血压。总而言之，当个剧情/惊悚故事看看得了，品一品人间真情（“希望就是等待别人救你，所以最好不要”），非要求不偏不倚也太蛋疼了吧。
两人在大桥底下浪荡秋千，在天台顶上引体向上；双人舞后分上下，功夫场中搞缠斗。
以往看的关于这段历史的描述通常张伯伦都是以反面人物出现的，这部算是改变刻板印象了吧，从另一个角度看一看张伯伦。
续集拍战争开始后的英国情报官和德国间谍行吗求你了求你了求你了求你了求你了
long live the fucking queen lmao
虚构的历史、神话传奇般语调的情节剧式故事、舞蹈式的格斗动作，托莱坞泽米吉斯内外都“印学为体，西学为用”的《战狼》。浮夸但精彩的动作编排和场面设计基本上秒杀了除雷米版《蜘蛛侠》（严格来说其实并不属于漫威）之外的全部漫威电影，也许现在只有印度电影还能像这样一次次重新定义主流商业片的“奇观”吧。
前面的间谍片段多少有点太儿戏了吧😂每个角色都很有魅力，一些悬念也留到了最后，结局重温几个人的大学时光以及不言而喻的割裂未来让人心碎…
