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".
啥？什么？danny是唯一坏人，圣母变最大赢家？
这片子真的要2个多小时吗？一直到喷漆伪装才开始有点看头。而且全程镜头晃得人眼晕。
这哪儿像一起由银行抢劫世家公子，两星期搞定犯罪学课程，成功抢劫37次的犯罪天才策划的第38次劫案？。。节奏和摄影还是蛮爽的，就是两个人对话摄影机还要绕着圈拍有点晕，然后故事编得太生硬了，无谓的细枝末节也过多。。
80分钟拍完片子强行拖了一个小时omg⋯⋯
最后的转折是没有想到的，为了家庭牺牲了亲情。有些镜头是真的酷炫。作为爆米花电影，不错了。
所以本片的主角就是LA，哪怕吉伦哈尔演得如此癫狂。卖拷贝本次还是挺克制，爆炸秀集中在后半截，挺会省钱，效果一如既往，无人机各种加速+翻转镜头真是玩嗨，大全景航拍和持晃镜头此起彼伏，好一个高潮迭起，手术戏是最好一段，但又无视常理了。结尾有点别扭，也不深究，爽就得。
剧情弱智。全程摄影机跑的比车都快，镜头就没固定过，反而烘托不出紧张气氛了。
这个电影看的的时候不要带脑子，因为它压根没逻辑
我到电影院，你就给我看这个追逐？除了女角色，其他无感
公路警匪片，整体还是及格吧，完整流畅，镜头运用太过了，为了大场面而大场面，炫技过度看下来就是疲惫
根本没必要把童年的画面一直闪回，多余的很，完全没办法共情。
匪徒老爹的儿子把哥俩救出来就很完美了，何苦要和洛杉矶警察再打上一仗呢，匪夷所思。
艾莎冈萨雷斯的表现很抢眼。
黑白兄弟在一次抢劫银行的行动失败后劫持了一辆救护车，车上有一名女急救员和一个负伤的警察，在洛杉矶市中心他们开始了一路疯狂的逃亡。
还是我聪明，没有在影院看（还是订了票没去🤪），几乎就是全程的追车戏，我倒是有个参考，那就是MM4，不过这个差太多了，前半段光是叽叽喳喳撞水果摊，后面自保车炸起来我才觉得这是卖拷贝的风格。结局看起来像是被你宕洗脑出来的结局，太艹了。Danny我觉得没啥问题，反派就有反派的样子，而且人家还是有准则的嘛，家人优先。will就有点圣父了，你又抢银行又当英雄的，就那啥意思，是吧，全让你一个人当了。女主冈萨雷斯还是漂亮，so hot，就是全程救护人，不是在救人就是在救人，她的一些动机行为可以理解，比较俗套了。我就是不明白了，为什么LA的路况就是那么好？另外就是，这里面人物太蠢了，那个LAPD的头头是个蠢猪，那个新手搭档真的是，惹事。怎么说呢，这个还是太烂了，几个冲突给我一种强行凑数的感觉
哈哈，花里胡哨的镜头还挺爽的，感觉比变形金刚要有趣。
说不定是部讽刺电影？正常劫匪电影都是让观众站在劫匪角度看问题的，这部好像站上帝视角？
老吉快要晚节不保了，就各种bug和强行逃脱，警察各种笨蛋，并不聪明的罪犯炫各种不怎么样的技能，嗯，总之看得有点浪费我机智的脑袋
这么闹能把我看困了也就属爆炸贝了。 朋友吐槽，满片子道奇，通用赞助了个寂寞。
另外那个汉密尔顿的那个梗可真是太好笑了😆中段的那个30公里时速史上最慢警匪追逐战在紧张刺激的氛围中也莫名戳中笑点，操西班牙语老爹的狠角色加入让这场看似和平的追逐战一下子升级成了流血战争，最后的兄弟情和超越罪犯与人质关系生命至上和微妙感情的升华则将情绪推向了高潮～
