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".
梗密集起来，好多情节就俗套的很...通篇充斥着政治正确和刻板印象，程序员不是印度人就得是白皮肤的霍比特人...游戏高玩就得是不能自理的妈宝废柴，还得带点恶趣味...中国人一如既往地挤在逼仄阴暗的中餐厅，皮肤暗黄、形销骨立...
《挑戰者一號》之後，彩蛋電影其實很難有突破。這未必是絕對，但肯定要一些時間。
连好莱坞都亲自盖章，浪漫爱情类型已经是过去时，宁愿和游戏里的NPC耍朋友，感慨现实中很久没跟好男人接吻了。
【剧透】
有版权就是爽啊，片中彩蛋出现的时候全场惊叹，大笑，还有鼓掌~背景音乐配合一下子点燃众人~真是太令人鸡冻辣~！迪士尼梗玩的真是666\(≧▽≦)/
胡须警毛绒兔无敌模式世界更改大追杀；日行一善升级枪械肉搏恋爱飞摩托；肌肉弱智分身美队星盾反引力枪星战光剑；独立游戏大战达斯米奇；哪怕一切都是假的，此刻也是真的；我只是一封别人写给你的情书……咋那么浪漫呢？对澳洲口音的执着也是向金刚狼表白吧
往好了说，是一部根植并仰仗网络世代成全的《楚门的世界》；往差了说，是一部烧钱升级重装后的《恶棍天使》。但不可否认的是，你可以永远相信瑞安·雷诺兹，这是一个年近半百依旧高标准严要求保持六块腹肌服务人民的邓超。
没有孙锡久我是绝对看不下去，其实对他来说也不需要什么发挥，所谓过瘾的打斗戏在我这儿也是招困。
头号玩家+舅满级+像素战争。原以为是螺丝钉成为天选之子抱得萍水相逢美人归的烂俗桥段，结局居然扭转了一下下。与其说是有楚门的世界遗风，不如说完全就是灌鸡汤的平民安慰剂。
Geek极致的浪漫就是在游戏里塑造一个AI角色让他成长并且对自己暗恋的女神表白, 在这个满屏卖腐的时代终于让我磕了甜甜的两小时BG CP🤗 正片感觉就是插科打诨游戏版本的楚门的世界，最大的亮点是美队和查宁的客串
当“头号玩家”遇见“西部世界”，建立在NPC自主意识上的VR爆米花。可惜精神内核没能上升到楚门秀的高度，男女程序员谈恋爱最是要命。嗯，我承认我就是馋瑞恩·雷诺兹的身子...（不要Dude，给我Guy！）
最近一段时间终于有部值回票价的引进片了，虽然误选了垃圾中配版，但依然没掩盖影片的闪光点。虽然影片是模仿了GTA，但R星一定能感受到片方满满的“恶意”……
哦我的上帝啊，哦不，我是说，我的老天爷！我竟然看的是国语配音版，额，那感觉，真的是糟糕透了，伙计！虽然作为一个爆米花电影，它让我看得很开心，哦，我是说如果，如果你不去想那些bug的话。毕竟，我真的是很久都没进过电影院了，只能说，这真的给了我美好的一天，我的朋友！
如果我們都被困在當下，日復一日單調重複，又有多少人願意多想一點、多邁一步？所以既然需要那麼多的機會成本，不如打一把遊戲和AI，反正隨時可以重啟。Have a great day, with/out free will。【WandaBB】
还行，故事很老套，Ryan Reynolds演得很好
考虑到今晚要赶高铁，所以一直在纠结要不要深夜外出看0点场的IMAX版，为了不错过时间，定了闹钟还提前1个多小时睡觉以避免看片的时候犯困。不过11点醒来的时候，上海竟然突降大雨，狂风大作，不过还是叫了滴滴去了五角场万达影院，心想可千万不能让我失望。你还别说，还蛮好看的，一方面瑞安雷诺兹那种类似死侍般的贱贱风格还挺适合这部电影的设定背景，同时，在IMAX加持下的画面特效也得到了较好的发挥，还有看到美国队长和绿巨人的时候，真的挺惊喜的。其实自打我小时候玩网络游戏起，就一直想象过如果NPC活过来会怎样，如今有不少电影表现了这个主题，代入感还是挺强的，电影还致敬了《楚门的世界》。其实对于整个世界来说，我们何尝不是一个NPC呢？你是否敢于打破原有因循守旧的生活副本，不再循规蹈矩，真正突破自我，重获Free呢？
拉满笑死，彩蛋埋的点也太绝了，星球大战复仇者联盟黑客帝国西部世界土拨鼠之日明日边缘异次元杀阵楚门的世界模拟城市侠盗飞车堡垒之夜等等完美大荟萃，接吻脑花爆炸觉了，最后女主觉悟键盘情书时候，电影院我后排一排女生像是吃了大瓜一样“哦哦哦哦哦哦！！！！”（起伏音）笑死😆/ 7
在模仿港片但是又找不到精髓的感觉。演员似乎知道这是部爽片，漫不经心的演技有点让人不入戏。给三星是为了孙锡久。无感情的反人类的大反派演得挺好的。
刚看完电影不知道家里Alexa发什么疯突然开始脑门放绿光然后一直说“I would like to talk”….. 顿觉AI觉醒真恐怖。
借用一个友邻的评价：很久没看到那么土的好莱坞电影了。Taika Waititi出现的每一秒都是精神折磨。
