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".
何为螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后，最后一箭收尾得很干脆。男主智商捉急，非要认准由自己来死守金岩，而且就在跟前看着不挪窝。没读过中华典故大全吃大亏，妥妥的此地无银三百两。既然之前埋藏了那么久都没人发现，为何就不能两人一起去找挖掘机。男主找到飞机残骸围搭了个遮阳棚，可在沙尘暴面前被摧枯拉朽。途径此处跋涉者，见他根本不会撒谎，称自己收的是破烂，还继续苦等朋友来捎他。当跋涉者窥破他的内心，男主怒抄起铁锹拍死了跋涉者。本以为是脱水，男主出现了幻象，可找上门的另一位跋涉者就是沙漠姐妹花其中的妹妹。被外出寻援的老道，放了鸽子的男主，成为了殉财者，被豺狗叼食而死。导演展现出蛮荒条件下的生存法则和人的贪婪，可故事发展缺少张力和分支，全在预想之内。好在演员的表演足够使人沉浸，化妆效果到位，皮肤的起泡和脱皮极为逼真。
很悲惨的结局，面对权钱相护最终只能以暴制暴。美国是多缺杀手啊，死活要雇一个70岁还老年痴呆先兆的人去杀人，完不成还不行，最后被一锅端了吧
从连姆尼森身上看到了自己无法正常年龄退休的未来。米国杀手组织穷到大爷都70加老年痴呆了还只有他能干这活。
虽然很有些逻辑上的破绽，但总算比简单的打打杀杀有一些深度。题材也是高了一点。
老了呀老了，演了个老人，杀手有点强行变好的感觉。
视角和背景完全不同的掘金记。壮丽的大自然景象衬托下，人性之原罪让绝望、压抑反而越发沉重。
晚期老年痴呆杀手不能退休，这个设定直接扣一星。故事其实老套，又弄的复杂拖沓。其实整体还是可以的，老男老女老了也是演技在线，我觉得2.5，给0.5鼓励
莫妮卡贝鲁奇风华不再，他的那个壮儿子扑在妈妈怀里属实恶心，恋童恋母的asshole，母子俩都有大病。
弄个小短片就完美了，结果一个半小时，剧情拖拉冗长还毫无波澜，最后那一箭来的也是突然，然后就莫名其妙结束了，就很奇怪
感觉是为了让贝托鲁奇重出强行拍的，以及贝托鲁奇好老
IMBD5.6。这片子真的很一般，这位快80岁的导演，之前导演过《佐罗的面具》、《垂直极限》、007《黄金眼》、007《皇家赌场》。最后，莫妮卡贝鲁奇太丑了！
慨然赴死迎枪火，以暴止恶多无奈。
莫妮卡贝鲁奇风华不再，他的那个壮儿子扑在妈妈怀里属实恶心，恋童恋母的asshole，母子俩都有大病。
尼姆连森营救系列，节奏没有那么拖拉的为数不多动作片，之一:-D
套路有点老，但是周末晚上看看感觉还不错啦！
看完才意识到是翻拍，可惜比原作差得有点多，连姆尼森已经没啥突破了，对那些流泪受伤的镜头都过于熟悉，德州墨西哥边境没拍出特色。
连姆·尼森终于演了一个不同的角色，但依旧离不开打打杀杀，虽然已经70岁高龄，动作却仍然干净利落。三星。

还好吧，回忆起来u盘放哪里，然后下车让警察把自己扫射死，做杀手不就是杀人吗，小女孩是人，成年人不是人？
建议跳着看看动作戏就好了，有两段还是挺过瘾的。
