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".
【C+】拍的是个什么玩意…第一幕叙事简直是灾难级的糟糕，主次不分，想讲一堆东西又来不及塑造主角，完全不明所以在塞剧情，情绪完全是混乱的。第二幕节奏和角色才刚开始稍微有点起色时却又在第二幕结尾给了个意味不明的转折，马修沃恩作为优点的运镜大量减少，反而恶趣味到是塞满了全片。动作戏相比起前两部大幅减分，全片也就悬崖的部分拍的还不错。电影直到结束都没有明确给出一个这部电影会存在的原因，还不如好好把第3部拍完。
…………毫无吸引力的男主与剧情，让人看完想复习第一集。
马修沃恩说不拍X战警续作是防止烂尾，结果没过王牌特工这道坎
如果不是拉叔绝对不会浪费两小时看这种烂片的…
突然想起有一次有人问张医生业余时间会干什么，他回答看无脑电视剧因为可以不动脑子不然太累了………我看这个电影就是同样的感受【。
口水好多。这说故事，不是用画面。
剧情毫无逻辑的按着预料之中发展，不过片时太长有点拖沓，精简个半小时就好了。
这跟kingsman真是没啥关系 故事线多且拖沓
有生之年系列。此生看一部少一部系列。不英（式幽默）萬夜系列。高級的最高級的歷史同人系列——來自同為歷史同人寫手的致敬（以及髮國M政府害我無法大銀幕觀賞此片，髮藍希活該全程隱形
电影很好看啊，这不是真正的历史，是站在英国人角度上的戏说，很有娱乐性，不必当真。
三星半。或許不以原本系列的牌頭去執行會更好，說到底這是一套歷史解讀劇情片，多於前傳動作大片。佛地魔的演技固然有保證，而「萬王之王」同樣不是省油之燈。
实在谈不上好看，戏说历史和政治也说不上有趣，好好地拍自己的爽片就得了呗，怎么还玩起深沉来了，不够爽，文戏又顶不起来，结果两头都不占。全片最佳的是热衷参战的儿子死于战场（自己人之手），这个段落该拿给国内那些动不动说要打仗，嘴上喊叫着战争的“爱国者”看。
黑翻了，连芬兰车站下车的伟人都一起黑了，不过，最惨的是Woodrow Wilson，尽然因为看Stripper跳舞就不敢参战，还能再黑一点么？！
马修沃恩不会不知道前两部的亮点主要是眼花缭乱的动作设计吧，谁特么想看俗套父子戏和意淫一战史，整场就妖僧舞打那段勉强拿得出手。。BTW，系列武指成龙白人弟子确实去年过世了，RIP。。
全片华彩在俄罗斯妖僧的芭蕾武上。另外叛逆期儿子战场上那一段设计的也很有想法，把战争的盲目和荒诞表现的不错。
太执着于讲述和重演（架空）历史了，导致节奏错位。拉斯普京完全是missed opportunity, 本以为马修沃恩的恶趣味能拍得更有意思。系列最标志性的长镜头打斗高潮竟然没有。
王牌特工越拍越差 糊到地心就是这么容易 可能只有最后几十分钟值得看一下。
外国公司用骰子为LOGO，少见。
挂着王牌特工的title，却卖弄着导演自己的政治恶趣味，不管是俄英德三兄弟还是列宁希特勒会师，没给这个故事带来一点趣味性，更别提伪男主一段贵公子体验战场生活的反转有多尴尬了，好看的部分还是几场动作戏，俄国舞蹈融入近身打斗那段还蛮飘逸，费因斯不太适合这角色，没有一丝喜感。
这个设定放在前两部就很欢乐，但回到一战时代就难免变成为帝国主义招魂了
