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".
作为一个常年剪微课视频写镜号的人来说，看文保保的电影极度舒适，可以说没有一秒废镜头。大爱这个故事，把人压到绝境，最后凭借个人魅力带领团队坚持到奇迹来临，愿每个人身上都能发生这样的奇迹
主角光环和某些超越单兵作战理解的部分减了一分。战争场面宏大，战场画面刺激写实，故事讲的恰如其分没有怎么说教和样板。其实近些年的主旋律属于越拍越好的趋势，也可能是年轻人们在经历了某些国际对抗后，多生出了许多对自己家国的期望和爱护吧。
感觉和《药神》一样好 完美的商业片教学 无可挑剔的节奏 剪辑 表演 完成度真是没得说了 不知怎么夸给个五星吧😅😅
真的值回票价了。平凡的生活，不平凡的笨小孩，我们每个人都是没天赋的笨小孩，只要你愿意努力，总会收获奇迹。全场有笑有泪，完全被真实带动了，感叹于只有在这片热土上才能发生这样的奇迹。还有易烊千玺，一如既往的牛，把景浩那股倔强生长的劲演活了。
打着现实主义的童话都是对现实里受苦的人的二次伤害。
他让家国情怀完美平衡，他让集体主义和个人成长相得益彰
导演水平不行
最终的伍千里的考验，还是没来，当着伍万里的面，对雷公下手，才是对伍万里真正的成长，张小山的死，对他是第一次，但是，第二次没来，所以，这个弟弟的人物，就没立住。
这种偏门题材很需要鼓励，戏剧结构很像药神，细节质量也不比药神差。结局的集体暴富，显然是不得不加上去的，因为深圳掏钱了。
飞机从头顶掠过，炮火在耳边砸穿。战场越是残酷，火车那一幕万里河山就越是珍贵。乱石阵发现自己和身边的观众呼吸都加快，最大的想法——捏死美国鬼子。
就还行叭，中规中矩，没有药神的高度，但放在春节档也还行
一部看开头就能猜到过程和结尾的电影，但是不妨碍我哭啊。穷加病，那就是屋漏偏逢连夜雨，过程很现实，众生皆苦，有心想帮你的人往往自身都难保，不遇到坏人就该心存感激了。结尾太理想，哪有什么奇迹，都是努力血汗堆积出来的，哪有什么笨小孩，主角明明很聪明，有想法，你以为光努力就有500万，太多人努力一生，真的就只够活下去。
不错。希望能在四字说出在老总办公室的那句台词后结尾，会更好！
此类电影的通病，没有讲“奇迹”达成的过程。反而要加额外剧情硬凑时间，追车戏那段真的大可不必。同情边缘人再动人，没有成长的过程，最后获得成就后的煽情就很苍白。
如果你相信现实有童话，你就会喜欢这个电影。我相信～
太多的话实在是不知道该如何表达，但是八个字送你，值得去看，表示推荐
末尾结束突兀。
这部电影没有反派，如果要说有 那就是“生活”。生活中有很多笨小孩，在人生道路上笨重的前行，只要努力就可以笨鸟先飞！
电梯里的欢呼声全部被巨大无比的背景音乐盖住了，没有压抑过后的酣畅淋漓。结尾又俗又无聊。
从《爱情神话》和《奇迹》的评分能得出一结论，活跃在豆瓣上的人多数是70、80后，这部电影，最起码也得八分以上啊，别挑逻辑和合理性，不能自己没遇到过好人就说天下没那么多的好人，一个机遇在景昊面前是机遇，在别人面前就是浮云，自己没抓着别人抓着了说这肯定瞎扯，太坐井观天了。
