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".
生活总是这样糟糕么
实在受不了这样的小孩人设，太招烦。只看车戏和动作戏就完了，剧情很烂很旧。
电影最重要的就是要有个合理的故事设计，虽然是个动作片，但是剧情也起码得符合逻辑啊，电影里的新闻上也说了小孩父亲的背景，并不是什么好人，到底是什么触发了女主的圣母心呢，类似电影里这样的桥段人家都有前期的情感基础铺垫，非亲非故还是坏人的孩子为什么要拼死相救，陪酒女和警察大佬说的都是大实话，这小孩子是你什么人，最后可倒好，害死了跟着混的老板大哥，害的照顾自己的巴基斯坦老铁脚筋被挑，好歹随便瞎编一个自己曾经有个这样的弟弟也行啊，真气人，PS星星全都给黑白通吃的警察大哥，演的真好
小男孩挺讨厌的。套用了这个杀手不太冷的壳子
及格的爆米花商业片，这类型片韩国好像经常拍没什么惊喜
演员阵容就反映定位了，反派真的不太行，流水线作品
还不错。故事很完整，有飙车，打斗，场面精彩。可能影响评分的是略俗套和女主颜值不够吧。
惊喜在于前十分钟。后面剧情过于拖沓，一方面想求全，黑暗交易，黑恶警察，假球，赌博，脱北，女权，亲情，友情，忠义，参互打斗枪战，多而杂，那方面都不能说透，那方面都点下，比大叔差太多了，另一方面情节弱而场面强，喧宾夺主，看完场面记得不少，情节两个小时就忘了。结尾太菜，电影表现了现实的残酷黑暗，却不敢表现人生的残酷黑暗。另外，反派太出彩。
没劲
韩国这些年轻妹子真是啥都能演，朴素丹这次太惊艳了！追车戏就不说了，堪称女司机楷模，最后那段肉搏戏也是绝，没给咱“脱北者”丢脸。
有孩子的动作戏都很麻烦 看着着急 总的来说还可以 挺刺激 就是还有点拖沓 这黑白两道都认识的警察效率还是高 单纯的警察效率太低 都是来收尾的 朴素丹还是很酷的
没想到啊 小时候经常看的萌鸡小队居然上电影了
额，挺一般吧，妹子身世也没细说，做这行的不可能一见到小孩就打破行规的！起码要让人相信啊！！
女版《大叔》老套动作片，放在前十年倒是还不错。由此片可以看出脱北者在韩国人心里是什么样的，一出现这三个字，不管是一个打十个还是刀枪不入都是合理的。从一开始就觉得配乐有点熟，到结束才想起来，很像是快银的bgm啊
200亿播放金牌动画首部大电影果真是一部用心之作，我和5岁女儿都看哭了。
从成年人的视角看，这类电影自然是无感。但小朋友们观影过程中的哈哈大笑、惊吓得捂嘴、兴奋地鼓掌、对着屏幕提醒萌鸡不要开门、末尾处感动得流泪……，都说明了这部片子很不错。能让一众小朋友全程盯着屏幕喝口水都嫌烦不愿错过一秒的电影就是好电影。
冰糖的银幕观影初体验。中途因为流浪猫被吓跑两次，出去逛一圈，回来坚持看完。
很流水线化的剧情，还以为小男孩妈妈有啥特别隐情，竟然没有再展开了。配乐挺好听
Drive + Léon，比较实在和认真，值得想拍类型电影的新人创作者学习，但对于类型电影的经验观众来说，则是非常的熟悉和乏味了。
唯一的价值是某某影片低配版的电影，有什么价值呢？
