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".
不得志的中年男人，怀才不遇的年轻人，独自带女儿的父亲，老爹般的教练，不得已的黑暗过去，自大盲目的富二代，众星捧月的对手，天赋+努力=改命逆袭，一切都是俗套的设定，像极了NBA 2K生涯模式，但球迷真的很吃这一套，更何况简直是一部联盟宣传片，从传奇到现役甚至还有教练和街球手轮番登场，然后能以这样的方式看到AI也是让我有点动容
超级英雄这个事情和算卦或者说量子力学是一样的，就是个信不信的问题，信则灵，米国当然是信的，法兰西人家是压根就不信的，归根结底，就是搞一出法国拿手的喜剧。法德意苦米帝久矣，说白了就是看不惯这个乍富的小年轻。
作为Netflix里面的电影还不错，挺多地方拍的好的。但是在女儿来了后到底有什么影响，还有最后那场训练营的转折的都太太生硬了
反超英雄片，感觉像看了一集加长版黑袍纠察队
比较意外的是，虽然是搞笑片，但剧情编得还挺完整，故事说得过去。拉肖自导自演，玩得很开心，观众也看得很开心。其中各种恶搞其他电影和新闻报道也是不少，能看懂的观众自然会会心一笑。
虽然沙雕还有些恶俗，但内核挺温馨哒(=^▽^=)
好看！谁说的来着，还是要保持观看运动番，在理在理，我爱运动竞技片！
很像是“烂仔帮”拍得那种。
NBA粉丝必看，客串的球星太多了，詹姆斯客串一下会更有趣！剧情其实很老套，但由于对NBA的了解，让这片的励志显得更加熟悉。比较尴尬的是''Bo Cruz''后来在凯尔特人没能打出成绩，打了18场比赛后就被交易了，这个赛季也是各种流浪，如果结尾加盟的是埃尔南戈麦斯的第一支球队掘金可能还好点。爱德华兹演得真是坏啊！p.s. 本来是想拍来中国寻找一个草根球员的，但由于种种原因改成了西班牙，也是非常可惜。
二十年前质感的喜剧，让人想到自己刚触网刚可以看到各路电影＋网络恶搞短片刚出现的属于胡戈/大鹏的时代。整体属于往点子里加剧情的那种，有时候感觉太超过，有时候觉得很干，发挥好的时候像粉红豹惊声尖笑葛民辉周星驰早期的低级版无厘头脱线闹剧，发挥不好的时候就像晚期去拍大巴电影的朱延平刘镇伟。也可能是我的问题。另外第一次在电影里感觉到卸妆如换人。
笑死，小成本恶搞电影，又有那么点人生哲理真情实意在里面，如果换成好莱坞来拍应该会更流畅，质感更好一些，但也会没那么滑稽了。
人的一生陪伴自己的是自己的情绪，转移情绪！定能无往不利！
虽然稍微想一下就发现剧情挺假的，但观感还是挺爽的，客串的人可真是多啊
球迷看这个是非常带劲的，Hustle这个名字也不错。
确实有些点非常搞笑，而且恶搞的超英梗可真是数不胜数，这个变奏还挺好听。编剧也太会了，剧情非常巧妙，妙啊！真是蠢到极致便是妙，最后峰回路转，一切圆满闭环。那个小丑饰演的还真的不赖。
贱贱的法国喜剧，同城市猎人一样的调调，很久没有看电影了，虽然是爆米花电影。但是梗的确也是好笑的。在糟糕的天气里，低迷的气氛下，真的很适合看这种搞笑的片子
何况还有那么多的球星客串怎能不爱！
屎尿屁搞笑，法版城市猎人班底，恶搞了各种超级英雄以及汤姆克鲁斯，想知道这样的恶搞不用担心版权问题吗
创意不错欢乐多多真是恶搞无限好！法国的喜剧也太玩儿了，把“漫威”，扁蝠侠，火烧巴黎圣母院，汤姆克鲁斯等都恶搞了遍，倒挂树上接吻下落，裤子质量太差！心疼那只被电的鸭子！
哈哈哈哈好久没看到这么沙雕好笑的喜剧片了。恶搞的太细节，甚至连斯坦李都没放过
