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".
几乎是好莱坞体系内的最佳续集。有意识地指涉自我，并在突兀自嘲中将戏谑转为新的语调；于是那些滑稽的复刻变得不再刻板：我们深知这不再是一部三部曲体系下的创作。沃卓斯基放弃用理性的体系诉诸控制，而试图用感觉指向解放，这本该是部《天气之子》；但正如不愿（似乎也不能）创造奇观的导演，影片失去了纤细的触觉，只余依旧繁复的呐喊，那爱便再也无法具象
故事不是拯救人类了，是救老婆了。
范伟老师塑造的老王撑起了本片，其他人物性格塑造基本都不成型，氛围差不多就是个低配的《悬崖之上》
水准还可以，可能太过说教了吧，我觉着还行，不知道为啥票房扑街，可能是大家不喜欢看这种沉重题材？
片中有句台词"just like old times", 前面加上一个Not，可以作为全片的一句话影评。本来想写一篇评论，看完兴意阑珊，也因为片子，因为自己，全片的主角不是英雄，甚至不是反英雄，只是两个被工作被孩子被岁月拖得疲惫不堪的中年人，我真是不想代入这种角色啊。以前和一个教授聊天，教授传授做研究混甜妞的心得，说发文章只要有三篇有创意发顶刊能打就行，后面就可以自己抄自己了。这4抄了123上百次，现在的她抄当时的他们抄得理直气壮，老粉接了无数老梗，而一个时代终究是过去了。
两个小时真就是纯靠范伟的神级表演撑着
又吵闹又无聊，画面还不过关，IMAX大屏雪花，全方位震耳欲聋。而且我怀疑动作片段抽帧了，看着真不流畅啊。唯一的好就是范伟老师，不论是演技还是人物塑造，都压过张涵予太多了。
看了一些靠前的评论说不相信鲁南的大雪纷飞，但那个年代的山东可不就是这样吗
画面挺好 干净漂亮 就是没什么逻辑 没故事 形式大于内容
拍的确实不行，但是多一星给黑暗中为了新中国的各条战线上的英雄先烈们
如果是单线只讲范伟的车站工作就好了…另外一半都什么乱七八糟的。半颗星加给张帆你日本人演的真像…
不差啊，豆瓣怎么才5.7，这不比漫威一半的流水线电影好多了吗？
战争不值得歌颂，但英雄值得被致敬被纪念被缅怀被传颂！
看得出导演很有想法，范伟的手、张涵予的枪、大反派的脚、小喽啰的自行车……几乎每个角色都有一个象征性的视觉化符号，几场对决戏甚至拍出了武侠感。可惜文本实在是太过老套无聊，人物也单薄缺乏新意，看得人注意力很难集中，故事的不精彩导致无法撑起导演在视听上的追求，可惜了。
果然像我之前预测的，这已经算不上是狗尾续貂了，比蹩脚的同人小说更惨不忍睹。就像一个浓妆艳抹的广场舞大妈一次次向共舞的不同老头吹嘘着自己年轻时候如何芳华绝代，挑动着半永久文眉，轻佻而香艳之间，涂在额头和满脸的雪花膏渣子掉了一地。
大多数抗日题材影视一直被诟病，原因就在于不尊重历史，不尊重事实，甚至不尊重常识，不尊重观众的智商。《铁道英雄》虽不至于如此，却也没有如何。
老洪就是坦克 ，老王就是法师 ，魏晨是射手百里守约 ，俞灏明是打野的 ，周也是王昭君啊 ，大家组队把敌人的塔推了！
氛围感营造得不错，画面有质感，可是配乐铺得太满了，每次劫货都是差不多的结构，节奏很拖沓。绝大部分角色刻画都很单一，老王总是让锅炉少年喊“爹”也没有引出什么深层次的动人情节。作为谍战片却没有斗智斗勇、千钧一发的感觉，悲壮的结局也无法唤起我的爱国情绪，跟《悬崖之上》相比真是被全方位碾压。
如果我拔管能去到一个这部影片没有发生的真实吗？
“人们并不在乎真实，他们只想要还没得到的东西，害怕失去已经得到的东西，欲望和恐惧，这就是他们的现实。”
