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".
一对儿衰货小情侣的送命旅行。但却说出了一个问题：哪个地方有暴乱都离不开米国的干预。
老黑异国他乡身中数枪救出希腊男孩，为希腊民众带去了美国梦
挺……无聊的，前几十分钟的重点我觉得应该是个道路交通安全提醒：请勿疲劳驾驶+系好安全带，男主能逃这么久只能说种族和性别加成以及希腊没有天网系统（？）
最后这个结尾是认真的吗？本可以是个很牛的故事，结果弄得莫名其妙的
五层楼跳下也没事，既没有扭断脑袋也没有扭断腿，太不合理啦！
小黑哥的演技比起他老爸还是逊色多了，不过有超级英雄附身的话没有什么任务是完成不了的！
其实觉得拍的很真实，差点以为是真实事件改编
前半段悬疑感十足，但故事本身并没有太强的逻辑性和说服性，最后的揭秘部分也不够透彻，对观众来说前面把好奇心高高吊起，但答案却有些无力，让人失去了“原来如此”的顿悟感。给了个好问题，却没有好答案
Ferdinando Cito Filomarino。坂本龍一配樂。約翰大衛華盛頓帶著比《天能》主角更好的身手，來演一個搞不清楚狀況的美籍中產旅客大叔，神擋就不小心殺神，佛擋就不小心殺佛，一人幹翻整場複合性陰謀，類《北西北》式的『一不小心拯救世界』，帶著這種惡趣味看會覺得這部電影很有娛樂性：到底為啥這個美國死老百姓這麼強運又能打，可能要理解他的爆發有一種贖罪動機，恐怖分子很不巧地惹到一個愛人過世，需要找點東西轉移注意力／完成未竟之業的路人，這樣講的話可能也可以像希區考克電影一樣用精神分析去解。語言隔絕身處險境。有點不靈光的鏡頭語言。風景漂亮，攝影的色彩表現不錯。Vicky Krieps 很正（在這部電影裡）。
很奇怪的剧情，就纯粹为了倒霉而倒霉，看下来甚至觉得些许乏味。配乐也很奇怪，有点老式惊悚恐怖片的感觉，画面有时也会有点像纪录片。
要不是挂着奥巴马头像还以为是90年代的电影。后半段拍的太拉胯了。
逃亡（动作）笨拙真实。
也许是真实事件改编，干涉内政这块儿现实永远高于艺术；坂本龙一的配乐欣赏不来，但确实intense, 有点信条那味儿。
找领馆就够蠢了你还离开领馆送死 后面是怎么回事 一命抵一命？孤胆超英模式？呆梨人也有这么幼稚可爱的价值观吗？
异国他乡语言不通手无寸铁，车祸加中枪加卷入政治斗争都不死，主角光环太强了。拍摄手法略粗糙，演技一般，故事情节没有惊喜，不过鉴于网飞小成本，不功不过。
完全第一视角的故事片，很厉害。把谁放到这种情境下也得懵，男主这行动力已经是很强大了
我怀疑男主是fbi编外在逃人员
为了让剧情更紧张一点上来就把男主的武力废了，枪击刀扎断指一个没少；逻辑经不起推敲；挺好奇帮过男主的那些人后来怎么样了；打发时间还行，别抱太高期望
最后的翻盘看着很给力。但是仔细想想好像并没有什么可能翻盘的地方。
于是他最后化身007一样从车库顶上一跃而下的时候，我已经不吃惊了。也只有这个结局能安抚观众吧……
