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".
谢苗太干了，脸上一点肉没有，得养养生，毕竟现在没几个能打的了
拳拳到肉的动作戏真心不好拍 演员的每一个动作都必须经过一次又一次的实战模拟最终敲定 最有魅力的角色是表面看似文气的斯文人 他摘下假面 化身武功了得的动作狠人 最后大巴的戏总让人想起黄海 过于近距离的逼真狠绝 又让人想起犯罪都市 虽然部分情节逻辑拉胯 又要照顾到主旋律弘扬正义这一块 免不了有过于伟光正的场景设定 不过整体还是值得肯定鼓励的 所谓有诚意的电影 好评
第一，本来没看出开这是谢苗，等到序幕的时候才看到。第二，还是出乎意料的精彩的，至少动作方便还是可圈可点的，还是下过功夫的。第三，歌颂社会主义价值观是对的，歌颂人民警察也是对的，为了我们整个民族复兴，社交媒体应该做出自己应有的贡献。
能看出编剧的野心觉不仅仅写这么一个故事，脑海中应该还有一个大家伙。
最近谢苗的电影真不少啊，其它的还都一般般，这部还行。。。还挺写实，尤其动作设计不错，不比那些大片差！唯一不足的就是这三根毛，坏人的感觉差事儿，大毛憨憨的，二毛貌似略有城府也是表面上的，三毛。。。真禁揍啊！不知道现在的坏银真敢跟卡普对射吗？！哈哈哈。。。也就听过几个若干年前的大案有过这种情况！对了，打架没有戴着眼镜的。。。为了人物设定吗？怎么都是死干嘛不乘胜追击呢？不过拍成这样那是相当的OK了👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
打的确实过瘾，剧情简单明了，就是打就完了，有些地方为了爽而爽，逻辑差了点，尤其闹酒局和杀媳妇那里，太能编了，整体很不错，最后打斗是亮点，很有新意。
中规中矩，那段聚赌的想法有点儿意思，但是整个编剧差了点意思，肖氏三兄弟那就是葫芦娃救爷爷，一个个上，打了三段，低成本的武打戏。东北彪子是够彪。可惜了谢苗，当红的时候引退去学业了，现在复出了，也没有市场了，只能是各种网大了。
故事简单明了，动作干净利落、拳拳到肉，成本不高但却足够精彩，随便曝光便衣身份确实挺要命的。
拳拳到肉的感觉是真的爽，这不是一部全部精华只局限于短视频的电影，虽说故事结构简单，接地气，但是真的精彩，剧情紧凑不拖沓，完全不觉得无趣。
做个纯东北话版本会更好些。
最后来一段宣誓仪式，再来一段字幕形式的判刑和普法，是不是都成惯例了？...
为什么没有负星 这个骗子 太烂 花钱拍了这个玩意儿 天理难容
谢苗打戏还挺好，但我就一边看一边想下了那么多动画片，这种级别的打戏的电影为啥还能上啊？这不算宣传暴力么？另外就是我为啥觉得谢苗长得有点像吴刚。。。
风格还可以，就是投资可能少了些差点质感，国产动作片能打的就这么几个人了，谢苗好好搞也许还有机会
除了谢苗和武打一无是处，三兄弟像是街边随便选的一样
还行，简单干净利落，直来直去，就是反派的逻辑比较有点问题。
不吹不黑，这拳拳到肉的动作场面秒杀许多院线影片。
最近连着看了谢苗两部网大，都不错，故事简单明了，动作干净利落，就是化妆没跟上，打半天脸上连个伤口都没有。
动作设计的还不错，police总是姗姗来迟是不是较为真实。片场的彩蛋很有趣。谢苗眯着眼睛抽烟的神态太帅了。。。
剧情简单得很，但打戏确实值得一看。最后大巴车里的打斗，有点模仿当年他跟李连杰在《给爸爸的信》的感觉。别说，这警察题材不也是？
