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".
人从车里光着头出来的时候倒是赶紧开枪啊卡魔拉！
一人得道鸡犬升天 这是大部分贫困的黑人家庭期盼的 挺好的孩子 这两年怎么就变这样了 也可能是球队风气带坏了 因为这个人所以电影只值一星
片子拍的稀烂，但是依然看的热泪盈眶，字母哥的故事真是太励志了。
Ryan Reynolds的片子少看，如果配上Netflix，绝对不要看，真的
家庭第一。想到父亲。拼尽全力。想到了自己小的时候，一直在做错误的决定，如果能听话就不会是现在的自己。 就像片中所说，人在小的时候看不清未来，父母会帮你看清未来。
索里兰的公司布景到底是绿幕还是实景啊酷炫哦//所以男主到底犯了啥事大学奖学金没了？？？上课睡觉吗？
第一天就来追的应该都是字母哥忠粉，字母MVP的发言直接给我看哭了，“当我们还是孩子的时候总是看不清未来，但好的父母会帮我们看清未来”，永远爱扬尼斯。
这是一个美国梦吗？是。但是这个梦，他去了西班牙也一样能实现，只是可能没有在美国挣得多，他家人最终是否能顺利移民希腊或者西班牙也未可知，毕竟，全世界的政府都只会锦上添花，不会雪中送炭。
其实讲的是面对父亲的离世，在不同年龄如何面对和治愈自己。
就是个套了层软科幻外衣的亲情片。对，我不说硬科幻，看下来觉得时间线的设定已经太过随心所欲 | 雷诺兹逃不脱话痨形象了，想念他那被封上嘴的死侍
还是很温馨的电影，Ryan Reynolds特别会演自己23333superhero landing有点小可爱
时间旅行的奇幻画面，展现了伟大的科学家，伟大的父爱，和伟大的爱情！表面科幻喜剧的包装背后，其核心依然是一部温馨感人的亲情电影。不由自主想起了自己的父母，潸然泪下……
以为是爆米花无脑片最后都是一出无语且脑残的网飞特质网大，2X都觉得幼齿与低龄。瑞安自从小贱贱的成功之后各种选不适合他的电影拍，往商业片拍，往烂片拍。最后我很想知道如果之后拿它各种剧照排在一起，他认得他自己吗？玩梗星球大战都boring~~~~
大烂片！逻辑漏洞满满，妈妈在家里地位像空气。
用15顺位签下字母哥，是改变雄鹿队史的一次选择，就像勇士当年用7号签下库里一样。有趣的是，恰恰也是这两人，改变了NBA巨星抱团的不正之风，用坚守为自己的球队拿下了总冠军。“起点不重要，终点才重要”，下狗们用一次次的逆袭，讲述着这个时代关于忠诚和热血的故事。
除了2021年那个有争议的垫脚之外，字母哥真是太励志了，谁能相信一个，瘦的像竹竿，从来没有打过甲级联赛，数据也不华丽，训练时只能和哥哥穿同一双篮球鞋，在选秀前还没有国籍的难民，能够进入NBA，成为两连MVP，最后登顶NBA总冠军和FMVP，早在几年前科比就说字母哥将来能拿下MVP，不得不说，老科眼光真毒辣
字母哥的真实励志故事，他说“When you are a little kid, you don't see the future, right? And if you have a good parent, youer parent sees the future for you. ”。非独生子女很能体会字母哥和哥哥弟弟们的感情，友爱互助的感觉真的棒呆。Friends come and go,family forever. 不标记完就没法去游泳了，终于标记好了。
如果单就题材而言，中规中矩的片子。但是确实不知道字母哥背后还有这么多故事，但确实励志，成长为一代王者。
字母哥这部影片把最大的篇幅留给了父母和家庭，对希腊很克制的表达了复杂的感情，nike 很有意思的在明面把自己描述成精明的商人但是却永远是穷孩子向上攀爬的第一双球鞋
三星半。我永远爱星战梗。
