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".
二战史上盟军登陆西西里岛开辟第二战场是纳粹的转折，而其中以尸体携带假情报的手段骗德国人很传奇，但本片不能作为历史战争片来看，整体商业化太明显，节奏太快了，人物的出场感觉像在跑步，交代的历史背景也比较匆忙。大量的篇幅虽然花在编造尸体假身份过程上，但是把人物们搞得入戏太深就是侮辱了谍报人员的素质，甚至于还搞出了科叔与美女情报员婚外恋的狗血桥段，再夹杂一些意识形态情节更让全片的段位降低。真正应该大书特书的尸体运送到发现尸体再到假情报生效过程相对比较粗糙简单，除了验尸官的换人有点紧张气氛外几乎都是平铺直叙方式，完全感受不到那种瞒天过海的巧妙和智慧。唯一的笑点是那个大英帝国驻西班牙大使为了送出假情报居然让德国人搞基，为国奉献真不是一句话的事情。整体来说表现一般，科叔怎么看怎么还在王牌特工里面无法自拔。
本片让我想到了一句话——没有硝烟的战争。战争中这种幕后的信息战、间谍战举不胜举，本片选材的特色是欺敌计划，和中国古代的“三十六计”太像了，正所谓兵不厌诈，通过信息战的手段以最少的伤亡达到取胜的目的。
短而精吧，小成本做的挺好，反差萌，两个不同性格的女孩的友谊线也整挺好，最后愿意住一起也让人会心一笑吧。
这个电影最大的震撼点就在这是真实的历史 过度的戏剧化反倒不太喜欢 不知男女主的感情线存在的意义 也许是感情的动机有些牵强 如果把所有的战争场面省掉 似乎对故事的强度没有影响 不如把预算放在故事本身上
好笑的是那位驻西班牙大使（？为了这个计划他实在是付出了太多😅
看片名以为是什么残酷的战争片，原来就是剧情片。想看大场面战争戏份的就不用看了。
各种反差萌，两个女杀手像是还没出道的偶像练习生。动作设计很精彩，甚至有段难得一见的枪斗术。
编剧如果都按这种方式撰写人物小传何愁不出精品
什么样的精分能拍出这样的沙雕剧？艹，我竟然乐在其中了！更震惊的是，沙雕剧中女主的动作戏竟然可以碾压目前大陆99%的女演员。
看到宅女们带着冲锋枪骑自行车去公园跟黑社会火拼，就觉得很燃了。黑帮女也很有意思，感觉像霓虹国哈莉奎茵的设定！虽然是部SB三星片，但枪斗术、近身肉搏和换弹夹居然都巨帅，为这三个元素再加一星。另外剧组是因为太穷了吗？现场收声的效果堪比80年代港产枪战片，还是当年在录像厅看到的录种效果。
在🇯🇵杀手都这么光明正大，而且随随便便就可以做到吗
我脸叔一把年纪了还要在廉价感情里扮演为爱冲动的毛头小子，不忍看。
英国宁，侬是真想的出哦；德国宁，侬是真好骗哦；西班牙宁，侬是来办家家呃。（感情戏毫无必要，看看就当补个历史课）
这种砸了一堆人然后整的不明觉厉的风格，真的看腻了……
心里有小不安的话，请一定找人聊一聊。说出来，心里就会轻松一点儿。——比留间荣子
还可以，虽然都是文戏，还是有紧迫感的，感情戏可有可无，如果加上德国如何分析消息的就更丰满了
真实故事改编却叠加了过多感情戏，对敌对方描写太少，以希特勒化之，所谓德国间谍剧情实际等于没有，缺乏真实感。
不太喜欢日式无厘头的我也觉得挺搞笑的，两个女主都很漂亮的内
头重脚轻的感觉，前半部分铺垫过于冗长，行动过程倒是很简单一笔带过。这题材演员摄影和剧情容量，拍成电视剧会更好吧。
浪费了卡司，双男主挺好的，强加个感情戏无聊至极~
