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".
一开始是幸福终点站，然后是机械战警，然后是孤胆英雄式的XX营救在行进节奏上显得稚嫩，热闹有余，精彩不足。
决战部分的动作戏好仓促。男主上级帮男主杀自己金主缺少说服力。
可以当作印度版的“白宫沦陷”。节奏很快，尺度很大，科技战狼，我国要是能出这样电影就好了！还有情节同《纸钞屋》。吐槽，印度的超级士兵也需要光刻机才行啊，最后收尾仓促且离谱，只为大团圆结局。
派派在里面好沧桑……这电影还行吧，不过可能不是我喜欢的类型看着有点乏，估计最近枪战类看多了有点疲劳了
与其说后半段崩塌，倒不如说文本一直未成立，从布置任务目标开始就感受到了编导团队的心照不宣，黑也黑不下去捧也捧不起来，只能在语焉不详的“疑似反美式主旋律”边缘反复试探，最终除去James，大部分人的动机都过分牵强；动作设计始终是近些年值得肯定的水准，欧美电影工业体系逐渐开始试图在视听上玩更多花样，或许有一天这个时代会拥有一个属于自己迈克尔曼也说不准；在我看来文本可以更加阴冷更加“黑暗”，去掉美式主旋律的世界警察属性，单纯改为黑色行动成员逃命甚至分赃不均互放冷枪都会更好，既然是PMC的故事就应该像PMC接的任务一样，大道至简，何必非得“为了全人类”呢？克里斯派恩与本福斯特表现极佳，拿着一个有问题的剧本都爆杀一众好莱坞“优秀演员”。
Not bad.
特战大队又不是cia，模仿谍影重重又做的很廉价，唉，差
能看，但是逻辑漏洞有点多，不如同样是豆瓣低分的 黑蟹行动
“一死了之很容易，但要活着很艰难。”餐桌上其乐融融的闲聊，几记枪响打破短暂的平和。提到病毒和疫苗很难不联想到当下的状况。
除了结尾略显草率以外，我觉得还不错，印度队长666
新时代试图重启谍影重重系列。但目前看，绿草地是谍影重重的核心，没有他就没有这个系列，换谁都不好使。对于美国国内市场来说，退役军人主题可能还会有市场，但对于国际市场来说，这个电影就乏善可陈了。但对于军事爱好者来说，这部电影在战术元素应用上还有可取之处。
基友麦克被boss轻松放倒，boss被詹姆斯轻松击毙，这是一部动作片？
都什么年代了，退伍老兵被背叛追杀的陈词滥调真没人提得起兴趣了吧，就想来看枪战图个爽快都会rnm退钱，网飞，还得是你
哈哈哈，虽然足够老套，但是也足够精彩……😂😂😂印度万岁的时候真的是笑到我了，哈哈哈，看来在哪个国家和文化里万岁都是个好词儿
电影前半段对退役老兵的处境和人物刻画还是不错的，但是后半段太多逻辑不通的地方了。
铺垫过长且无聊，很多前后穿插的镜头实际又没什么意义。剧情中间突兀的转折也没给一个很好的解释，就让观众非常迷茫。
剧情稀碎不说了，一共三场动作戏，除了最后一场勉强合格其他两场都是什么过家家啊（剪辑穿帮都不谈了），白瞎这么好的道具组了。

几段枪战有点谍影重重的意思了，但整体剧情冲突不够强烈，缺少情理之外的反差
中间这一段很硬核，故事整体比较老套，也不够完整。
