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".
近几年特别着迷谭耀文，在他身上的那种举手投足之间的特别感觉让人很欣赏。 柏天男越看越觉得像是金城武。
导演看监狱里伙食太好了刀疤越来越胖了 只好让他领饭盒去了
表演也是中规中矩把 看了Hudson那么多表演 觉得这就是她自己的本色出演了
Pathé Euroscoop Schiedam | 能看出肥花演得很用心唱得也很赞…但奈何影片太过于波澜不惊…以至于将传奇的AF拍成了一碗白开水…影片的高光时刻竟然是结尾AF奶奶在肯尼迪中心荣誉奖的现场…听得泪目了额外加一颗星…
逃狱三部曲。虽然简单且套路，但放在新时代下拍出了此题材十之二三的精髓。可惜且知足，先活着吧，存在比较重要。
刀疤有点惨，可惜了。
支持肥花掉提！ 电影实在拍得太烂了，看完145分钟的全片，也很难知道导演想表达什么，这流水账都不能算了吧，就是把艾瑞莎弗兰克林的人生中的一些可能重要的事情琐碎的拼接在一起，真的很食之无味，又臭又长、乱七八糟、支离破碎。 唯一的优点就是歌真的好听。肥花也无法看出什么演技，毕竟剧本真的没什么可以发挥的地方。
就……我还没看完，但是怎么说，六七十岁的男人超级自信地跟三十来岁的女人调情就让人很不适了，就算你是初代蝙蝠侠我也受不了………………
艾瑞莎·富兰克林的音乐传记片，詹妮弗·哈德森真实还原了她的那些经典歌曲，虽然情节似曾相识，但最后真人现场版演唱还是相当感人
过程中没有感觉无聊，尚佳。
Aretha Franklin 是无可替代灵骚歌后，天生就有一副给上帝亲吻过的歌喉。珍妮花演绎很卖力，但始终只是流于表面而已。歌曲都耳熟能详，作为一部传记电影，不过不失。
三部打卡完毕 感觉还可以的 剧情属于能看得下去的 不知道还会有第四部吗哈哈哈
以为会一直拍下去，到了第三部剧情还是会有惊喜的，但节奏没有前两部快，后半段还有点水，打斗戏没什么亮点，陈豪加入一如既往的喝咖啡，以后会放什么大招，谁知中途喝咖啡中毒再没出现，刀疤和滚筒多次的尴尬肉麻兄弟情对话，吴卓羲突然降智。最后竟然排排坐着翻囚服系度拉票开拍外传……张继聪就是混个脸熟，难得有一个休闲有搞笑的港片网大ip就这样完结了还有点不舍
很有港美的爽片！个人还是喜欢第一部比较多！
剧情挺平的，老艺术家成名前的故事，好像没触动到我，黑人主旋律电影，歌好听，爵士乐我也喜欢，结尾真实资料才知道好厉害的人物，总统自由勋章，公民的最高荣誉。
怎么评分这么低？黑人还真的有音乐天赋，节奏感和嗓音都不错，结尾部分真人出现了
一般般吧，这也能拍出3部我是真的没想到的。
介于能看与不能看之间，故事很俗套，前狱长摆弄众人，妄图逃狱的故事。直接削弱狱警与囚犯之间矛盾(最有看点的)。陈豪新狱长就是工具人，树立监狱人权形象的
没有前两部精彩 但是期待后面说的人物传记什么的
