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".
本片最大的意义就是三位老同志刷存在感，连姆大叔、莫妮卡姐姐、盖皮尔斯，都已过花甲之年，加起来二百多岁了，向他们致敬！
②莫妮卡·贝鲁奇，曾经的美丽传说…
2022年6月3日观影。老连姆老当益壮，莫妮卡风韵犹存。
正义感的杀手不杀儿童的情节，周润发的血仍未冷就有过，至于失忆的情节都泛滥成灾了，廉颇老矣。
大叔老了，记不住了，所以最后也牺牲了。贝鲁奇也老了，失去光环了，也牺牲了
老练加快准狠的范，连姆老爹客串杀手也不错，可惜英雄好汉也难敌时光流逝，英雄垂暮矣
唉，连姆尼森老了，竟然没有撑到最后一秒钟，在1小时19分领盒饭了！怀念连姆尼森的营救系列，好莱坞像这样的优秀动作演员都老了，丹泽尔华盛顿，阿汤哥，马特戴蒙，布拉德皮特。。。。。动作演员接班人在哪里呢？那个《死侍》的男演员非常讨厌他，逼逼叨叨逼逼叨叨的烦死了！最讨厌看到他的动作片，都是低级趣味的笑不出的美国笑话！
片子后半段那种“你我都知道TA做尽了坏事，可是没有证据，法律就毫无作用”其实也很贴合当下，最后好人离职，坏人庆幸，无辜者和吹哨者身死，依然只能靠以暴制暴，何不是一种无奈。
连姆大叔年近七十还这么拼命拍动作戏，可敬！
连姆·尼森自飓风营救1之后开始狂拍类型片，结果一片更比一片烂。身手早已不再矫健，所谓的特工片，实际上已经接受不了他缓慢的动作。
片尾亮了，这电影《掘金》好比做交易，你发现一只牛股，你告诉了他。但还没有启动，这时需要人蹲点，另一个去找资金加杠杆，赚更多。然而等了很久很久，找资金的人看着他。他自己在这次交易中，可以获利出局，享受财富自由，人生自由的生活。但是抵挡不住人性的贪婪，还是想吃到最后。结果可想而知，死在了高位上。这时候加杠杆的资金人也回来了，买在了山顶，就好比片尾被箭射死，也死在了贪婪中。
虽然大家给的评分不高，但最后的割喉还是大快人心，喜欢墨西哥警察
剧情肯定俗套，但是不至于烂片，有连大叔的电影还是要看的，毕竟不是当打之年，看一部少一部。杰森斯坦森都五十多岁了，硬汉越来越少了。
让就快老年痴呆的杀手连姆去杀小女孩，大叔哦不大爷不干了，反手帮警察把坏蛋都利索的做掉了，就这么简单，但让连姆和莫妮卡这么惨死对得起观众嘛，我好几百个片子没看立马就看这部，结果女神被割喉了，过分。
大叔老了，记不住了，所以最后也牺牲了。贝鲁奇也老了，失去光环了，也牺牲了
很不错的故事，演员也很棒，就是为什么评分这么低
希望大叔能继续享受拍电影了乐趣，慢慢恢复丧妻之痛吧。
不想看第二遍，短视频截取的几个片段就是最佳镜头了
看来人的肌肉记忆要优于大脑记忆……盖·皮尔斯为啥越看越像娜奥米·沃茨？
还算合格的商业动作片。片名虽说是有关“记忆”（影片设定为男主杀手得了阿茲海默症），但影片其实更有趣的一个设定是：如果杀手有了自己的价值判断，虽然接到了“订单”，但只杀他认为该杀的人，故事会向什么方向发展？本片就是讲了这样一个遵守常人价值观但违反“职业价值观”的杀手的故事（豆瓣简介有误导嫌疑）。
