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".
运筹帷幄情报组，鲜活细节塑身份。
二战英德剧本杀？争风吃醋感情戏？还顺带嘲讽了下甲方爸爸恶意刁难乙方？
剧情有趣，放松，打斗非常棒，比某些套路大片强的不是一点。没有快进全程看完。
看完电影，剧情相对比较好理解，大概讲的就是盟军在二战时期，为了让德国法西斯相信自己假的作战意图而产生的一起情报事件，名字叫做绞肉行动，整体看下来节奏比较缓慢，剧情比较简单，重在真实发生的，每一名角色都有真实的历史背景。同时，演员大部分都是英国人英音非常纯正，听起来别有一番风味，尤其是柯林叔的演技没得挑，穿上双排扣的大风衣非常的迷人，但是吐槽一点电影中加入的柯林叔婚外情的剧情有点无聊，不知道为何加入这一句剧情，对整部剧没有任何推动作用
故事講述的節奏太好了，雖然匠氣，但是也看得出前期劇本相當紮實。劇本裡有很多發人深省的安排和巧思，只是過於節制，感覺還可以延伸另一部劇來。雖然演員空間有限，但其實是更考驗演技和經驗的。
因为从一开始就失去了悬念，所以这部谍战剧就只能另辟蹊径，比如走文艺路线。毕竟，导演又怎么会浪费两代达西先生呢？
经费都花在开头和结尾了，中间很长，吐槽还行。
事情挺有意义，但电影不够精彩。跟间谍、战争都有关系，1毛钱的关系。
平平淡淡，沒有什麼看頭，雖然是影響世界的事，但啪得平平無奇。
原来还有这一段历史 Collin叔真帅气 UGC Les Halles 03/05/2022
据说动作指导是园村健介，所以真不算打着类型片幌子的小妞电影，最后高潮动作戏是绝对能看的，两个粗心大意的姑娘都挺可爱，能把手枪弹匣和内衣内裤一起洗😂，短发姑娘有几个镜头特像年轻的陈绮贞。看来日本人的至高娱乐享受就是看女高中生玩枪杀人。
另类二战片。没有硝烟的谍战，焦虑、诡计、引诱、无奈、惊心各种情绪的交织胜于激烈的战场。没想到老外也喜欢三角虐恋的梗，在抑郁的战影笼罩之下也到是分外动人。
想要包含的内容太多啦，醉心工作而耽误夫妻关系啦，男子汉之间的友谊啦，错误的时间遇到对的人啦，对生命的尊重啦……这些都值得表达，唯独让人费解的是那段猝不及防的手活戏，真的好突兀啊
太多电影时间用在构建尸体人物背景细节上，忽略了最重要的文件流向细节的规划和设计，另外，这段婚外恋的感情戏……感觉……和行动完全没关联，拿掉也不影响。虽然但是还是给4星🥳🥴
最少4星，可怜的豆瓣上只有6分多，情节设计和演技都不错
两姐妹朴实无华的杀人生活，利落干脆的的无脑爽片
好剧情被拍成这样，还有莫名的感情戏。冲着剧情去被吃了一嘴毛呢风衣和外套的安利。
好剧本的典范，完全靠戏剧张力，情节推动，人物刻画，剧情、对白、表演营造的紧张悬念，高潮迭起的优秀作品。
所以三角恋的情节也是史实吗？ 一句话概括大概就是：为什么人人都得谈恋爱之一个看似完全不可靠的计谋因为敌方有内应而成功。 PS牺牲最大的是英国派驻西班牙的情报官吧。
2022034 上半年最后一天 看一下脸叔的「新」片 整体剧情推动还算连贯 不过感觉对背景交代的不够清楚 哈士奇巴克莱到绞肉一系列的行动线 没有铺垫 所以本来相当厉害的一套组合拳 感觉有点像是玩闹 最大的彩蛋 应该是伊恩弗莱明吧 本尊居然是之后写出多部007小说的作家 以及M和Q也是真实存在的啊 三星半
