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".
年纪大了看不了be
我的天 看到最后我都没认出是Jared Leto演的Paolo…//电影本身拍得无趣。
Lady Gaga演出了一种小时代的感觉（除了和男主第一次办公室Intercourse那段），就这还有人说她值得一个奥斯卡提名？不过我真觉得Leto值得一个男配的提名，我看完都不知道保罗是莱托少爷演的，已然是另一个人。
在墨西哥城住的那个月有天无聊去影院看的西语字幕版，结果电影更无聊，哈欠连天撑到最后。
还是家族里的人太坏太混蛋，腐败的像沼泽或泥潭，完蛋是迟早的。
感动到我，很喜欢这样纯纯、不顾一切的爱意，不需要辨别谁对谁错，因为这就是青春。好多老戏骨出演，麦家琪、欧锦棠……
更像是一部主角的自述，电影感反而没那么强。最令人诟病的几处其实也是最真实的几处：爸爸们之间的谈话、“最好的朋友”、三十岁结婚的约定在二十九岁打破……也许现在东亚女性之间能展现出的爱更多的就像是那个耳饰硬插进没有耳洞的耳垂，虽然经历过操场间拥吻的勇敢无畏，但最后还是回归“我盛装出席参加你的婚礼，你和别人的婚礼。”哎，那是爱情啊，你们都知道的不是吗？
平心而论两星也不是不能给，但我对《最后的决斗》有多惊喜就对这部有多失望。什么东西啊求求了，找不到这片子存在的意义，不想拍可以不拍。
就雷迪嘎嘎走路也要抖肩膀的做派，就暴露了自己。
气死我了，哭死我了，我们东亚拉拉为什么活得这么辛苦！为什么李芯悦不敢真诚地面对自己的感情？为什么李咏蓝婚礼上不抢走新娘！（可是李芯悦的演员某些角度太像陈妍希了，我都讨厌不起来！
俗套归俗套，每一个人的感情都是那么真诚就很好。一起走过青涩的时光，第一个说爱的人，与你在雨中在众人面前勇敢亲吻的人，多年以后父亲去世第一反应是打给你的人，即使你要亲手带她去拥抱别人，也很难说，你们没有相爱过。她有很多拖累，她也不够你勇敢，但她也是那个下午跟你说，她喜欢你的人。这一切，大概就足够了吧。二汶的歌配在电影里，更加动人。
虽然本来期待不高，但这个阵容和这么好的故事全给浪费了，还是惊到我了
看完之后偶然刷到大阪亚洲电影节的陌生预告，惊觉本片可能还拥有另一个叙事更加连贯、动机更加完整的剪辑版本。就已经看过的版本来说，阿谈很好，两个人的拉扯几乎由一个人的演技支撑大半。情节跳脱，私心无法理解三十岁的约定和婚礼上的双重许诺，只想说何以至此。一些细节还是能唤起共感，但总体的架构有不可弥补的硬伤，探讨的问题和视觉呈现的效果也都显得过分陈旧了。
一直围绕到底是不是爱情，感觉立意不够深，有些无聊和平庸
我的天 看到最后我都没认出是Jared Leto演的Paolo…//电影本身拍得无趣。
好狗血好抓马的故事，搁tvb可以拍出一部大时代了，可惜电影不够劲只是走马观花看了个豪门恩怨没有把主角的多面性挖出来
2022.2.6 lady Gaga都演电影了。。居然是米高梅的作品 都好久没看到米高梅了 跟我想象的完全不一样 好几天才断断续续的看完 lady Gaga是真的不好看 除了胸大。。亚当倒是一如既往的稳 我本来还以为是他们家族的人如何经营古驰 或是有各种时尚的设计(如库伊拉那样)但没想到主要是介绍毛里齐奥古驰和他老婆以及他的父亲和叔叔还有他的儿子 5人之间的故事 没想到古驰还真是一个人的名字！女主主动的离谱 主动送攀高男主 经典边开车边口 事业心很重的女主想掌管一切 想踢除男主的叔叔和表哥 忽悠自己的表哥大义灭亲 然后又被男女主摆一道 最后叔叔坐牢 表哥的股份也全都卖给男主 后男主手下也想收购男主股份 女主花6亿雇杀手杀男主 2年后被抓 家族的互不信任导致古驰没有古驰家族的人掌管了 中规中矩
李咏蓝妈妈怪她爸爸喜欢女人的时候爆笑（其实如果家长能有这觉悟也不错啦）
三星给嘎嘎，一星给杰瑞米.艾恩斯；如果有可能，希望把奥奖影后小金人直接快递到嘎嘎手里——一个被唱歌耽误了的天赋型演员；对古琦这片子背后的家族狗血故事先前没有了解过，目前来看，这牌子也没有操持得很好，依然是滥大街的“暴发户”首选。
维基百科可比这好看多了……但高领毛衣版司机赛高！
