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".
两个达西一个奈特利一堆简奥斯汀男主扎堆的战争电影🎬还是脸叔拿到了爱情戏份，叔穿着礼服/双排扣军大衣的样子真是麻麻我又恋爱了，MI5人均文手啊写起爱情故事来一套套的怪不得能出弗莱明这样写007～
原来英国海军驻扎西班牙的武官都是金手指哦～厉害厉害，男女通吃，为国解忧
很工整的电影，两个男主的合作很精彩，但是女主拍得如此没有魅力也挺无语，不拍感情戏其实不影响全剧。
科林的制服完全就是标准的绅士风度，双排扣的军装简直就是自带一种气场，完全hold住了整部戏，虽然秘密行动居然在俱乐部被讨论的天花乱坠显得格格不入，感觉除了希特勒其他都是间谍，假情报的传送也充满着不可思议，但是只要是骗到人了，再不现实也会成为现实，如果是喜欢国外这种谍战片的可以一看。
文戏挺不错的，镜头的质感也很棒，可能是很久没看国语配音的片子了，感觉还不错。
投海漂流被捞起，公文包中藏假讯。
2，成片质感不错，正统的拍法，摄影，对白服装都有着老派电影的调调。但剧情线实在过于平实，很多支线如柯林斯弟弟的身份啊，两位男主之间的争风吃醋和相互猜忌啊，无太多详叙的必要。
节奏有点问题，缺乏紧凑和结构性。不过这种正统二战题材，多少还是有些附加分的。权力中心的人编织一场游戏，多少人得为之慷慨赴死啊。如果我们忘记那些牺牲，而觉得一场游戏多么精彩，那简直是电影的耻辱。
设定挺不错的，但剧情很低幼，逻辑不顺，看个热闹还行，文戏又太多。
有点过于老派+平铺直叙了，爱情线对这个故事的伤害其实并没那么大，只是缺乏明显的起伏，所以看起来比较一马平川，不是特别抓人。
耳熟能详的故事，正史野史看了不知道多少遍。一堆英伦面孔，英国演员+苏格兰演员+南非演员……光选角一项，就不应该分数太低。但很可惜，感情线似多余了，在这部电影里毫无意义，对情节推动一点帮助也没有，反而破坏了整体叙事节奏，让人昏昏欲睡，还不如换成敌我斗智戏码，可成为有情节又有细节的佳片。
两代达西先生同框就足以令我入痴。最动人是假作真时真亦假无为有时有还无的那些为马丁少校补充出血肉身世与性情的针针线线、心血、真情。阿姨拟情书、男友面相、一次次提笔又作罢的家书、专业伪装师高超的信件判断、等待最终结果、战后每人的命运轨迹.....都是动人之笔。唯一遗憾且做作的，是双男主对女主的情感桥段。前辈达西脸叔虽中年发福，英军制服下依旧硬挺且人文。后版达西造型略逊，声线也过于舞台剧而太过抢戏。
情节安排有些失调，西班牙部分甚至柏林部分再加一点可能更引人入胜。
会不会太好笑了[破涕为笑][破涕为笑]几分钟一个英伦梗，这哪是真实谍战片
最后的动作戏看起来比较实战，没啥花拳绣腿。
好看欸，设计得这么生活化反而很有趣，黑老大去女仆店那儿笑喷了！~~~
我看英剧的普遍障碍，是层出不穷的话痨式台词，以及走着走着就走偏的情感主线。这是文化上的鸿沟，我可真不愿意翻过去。
好演员，架不住乱搞的导演，怪不得评分这么低。镜头也很有英国二战片内味儿，但根本比不过TTSS，图灵的机器和丘吉尔的烟，这个三角恋加的真的大败笔。导演想拍的是战争中的人性而不是真正二战谍战片的意图表现的很明确了，给每个主要人物都加了十分复杂的个性设计和情感纠葛，但让剧情被冲的太散了。还有007作者弗莱明和007原型双面间谍波波夫的梗。是可以看来消磨时间，但看完会有很多吐槽的一部电影。而且行动的成功真的在德国情报官是反纳粹人士故意给希特勒假情报？？？真的吗？？？我想看下行动主导人物写的人物传记了，这个太扯淡了
Operation Mincemeat为盟军登陆西西里的Operation Husky带来很大好处，但前不久在西西里Catania的“1943西西里登陆历史博物馆”中似乎没有看到关于前者的信息。
Colin Firth in suits 我真的口水三千丈
