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".
以及，春节档片尾曲点睛之笔的，一个是雄狮少年，一个是这个「值得再➕一星」
从法兰西特派到法兰西座……还是法兰西座能感动到人，特别是最后的长镜头中的浮光掠影，包含了许多书里（大书特书）的细节，实在是感动满满。而从是枝裕和《无人知晓》中走出的最年轻？戛纳影帝，童星出道的柳乐优弥，我记得也曾有一段沉沦的时日，对站在对立面的师傅来说，一个剧外人对剧内人的感同身受，对“时代”这个词，肯定也是五味杂陈。
剧团一人这个导演水平未见进步，总是在剧情无聊到看不下去的时候抛下个催泪弹，然后草草收场给人留下个好像还可以的印象，本身北野武就不是个好拍的对象，柳乐优弥虽然在面部表情和声音语调上有意模仿，但整体呈现出来的人物过于听话了些，就像是一个普通的励志故事，大泉洋这里用得还不错，穿错鞋那段call back了，铃木保奈美还是神采奕奕的，门胁麦真是太苦了，每个导演用她都要拍出被命运捉弄的感觉。
讲述北野武早期的经历，着重表现在法兰西座跟师父学艺，逐步成长，最后自己单飞全国出名，这种离别跟师徒间的情感，着实动人
“吃鯨魚，长技艺” // 葬礼上哭着说笑话好emo啊
人生到了这个阶段，连独自去电影院都感觉有罪恶感，已经无法尽情与坦然了。但这部电影没选错，聚焦式的视角，比起长津湖这类恢弘的空洞电影要温情多了，细节的冷静与双方士兵的牺牲都很真实让人动容，几乎都要给五星了！可惜，还是跳脱不了国产电影的窠臼，结尾非常落俗套，真无奈。
4、伟大的并不是梦想，而是那些为了实现梦想的、永不停歇的奋斗！
8/10,春节档最佳，国师近几部片子排片量好像都不咋地，同样是抗美援朝大前提，却以一个狙击班做切入点，以小见大。敌方难得的不降智，也不会主动的打小孩。剧情层层递进一气呵成。章宇真的棒。五班都很棒！小不足是bgm实在是铺的太多了。有时候感觉有点吵=-=结局真是让我有了一次全新的体验，就是你明明情绪上波动不是很大，但是你泪止不住的流。五班！到！！
什么叫物哀？真实和表演的穿插，将喜剧的悲伤内核温柔又血淋淋的展示，最后北野武的背影根本控制不住的流眼泪，太好看了
以小见大，格外动人
好上加好。对观众情感走向的引导、烘托和拿捏非常精准。
剧团一人这个导演水平未见进步，总是在剧情无聊到看不下去的时候抛下个催泪弹，然后草草收场给人留下个好像还可以的印象，本身北野武就不是个好拍的对象，柳乐优弥虽然在面部表情和声音语调上有意模仿，但整体呈现出来的人物过于听话了些，就像是一个普通的励志故事，大泉洋这里用得还不错，穿错鞋那段call back了，铃木保奈美还是神采奕奕的，门胁麦真是太苦了，每个导演用她都要拍出被命运捉弄的感觉。
化繁从简，挺好。只是孩子的设定有点脱离现实，有点假。还特意通过画外音解释了一下。
除了子弹时间特效不行以为，我觉得电影完成度很高，没有喊口号，但是有真情实感
这种题材一定要含着笑流眼泪才行，差了那么一点意思。男人的野望是小杯盛不下的酒，倒着倒着就溢到外边去了，可酒不会忘记最早接纳自己的杯子。
7。极简风格下的小切口叙事，比起宏大的喊口号式电影，更能打动人心。
镜头调度有点问题，似乎没有展现战场的空间位置关系，除了俗套的没有速度感的子弹时间，没有体现距离是狙击片的死穴。煽情音乐错配又普通，甚至都不能用老套来形容，地狱残忍死得悲壮但表现形式糟糕。人物单薄，除了启用章宇具有记忆点以外狙击小队死得太快，节奏过猛，虽然二段式idea不错但并未作区分（不动与动尚且算？）。不如同期的悬崖之下。
中规中矩。演员不出错，节奏把控到位，也有对美军的“部分”合理刻画。战士牺牲情节老套但也老到，观众还是会败阵。班长牺牲后剧情开始奇怪，几处无谓煽情尬到想离席。
北野武师徒情，笑中带泪啊，柳乐优弥虽然长得不像北野武但是形似，大泉洋的表演很棒。
张译开头露个面结尾露个面看见了还觉得挺定心
