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".
中规中矩，没有什么惊喜的剧情，也没有什么拉垮的。
表演配乐故事节奏主线支线都在线，原以为绝命毒师老了成疯狂赌徒，没想到人家是天赋异禀，不仅化学学的好，数学也是相当可以，但能够利用天赋与人交流，造福整个小镇的事件还是少数，钱说到底还是没有人重要，让钱为我所用，有用才对
可能之前看了不少负面评价，期待不高反而觉得也还好，是一部合格的迪士尼和不够合格的皮克斯。四年换一身制服，猫很烦，但有用。3.5
2700万刀啊啧啧啧就喜欢看聪明人玩聪明人
一部关于空间的电影。幽闭恐惧其实是一种修辞，阿娜伊斯宁愿奔跑、爬楼，也不愿陷入安稳却封闭，甚至要承受凝视的电梯。开场拖房租的戏，阿娜伊斯以近乎赖皮的方式，争夺和维护着生活空间。所以，她不是陷入爱情，而是以她横冲直撞推土机一样的行动力建造爱情。然而这种疾风般的索取势头意味着压迫性，势必导致亲密关系的紧张乃至断裂。“我不同意”能化解分手演说谱写一段续曲，但这注定不是最终结局。也想到《世界上最糟糕的人》，阿娜伊斯在电影里不断跑啊跑，尤利娅则跑上了海报，两个女性形象的处世方式，可互相参照。
首先不劳而获的背后还是要有非常多人力劳动的 哈哈 所以把枯燥工作找到意义多么重要 然后就是解决人力问题 于是资金也就有了 anyway 价值这件事情还是要放在金钱之上的 不然确实动力有限呀 老爷子的演技杠杠 由此可以忽略好几处忍不住问why
要富有激情地老去，不管多老，仍对生命富有激情。
好久没看到这样的合家欢温情小品，喜欢！老白说钓鱼时候在计算水流速度，结果错过了儿子诉说喜欢的女孩。是天赋还是诅咒，好在有意识去改变。贝宁作为老婆太完美了，“我还差点提议抢银行”。以及那个小男孩看了想打他一顿！
有点无聊，合理合法利用漏洞，让身边人过得更好。
重要的不是因发现彩票漏洞中大奖，而是一个擅长数学的老人终于找到了用自己的天赋和大家沟通、帮助他人、造福社会的的途径，与此同时，他也在和妻子一起“工作”时度过了属于两名老人的“黄金时光”。人与人之间的真诚善意太让人动容啦！撒花～
还有一个道理就是，数学好的，并不一定是常春藤的高材生，许多民营企业的管理层，也实力卓群的
拍的很无趣...kinda doubt if it's really based on a true story...
这彩票公司太老实了，换了体彩和福彩发现了会让你这一期彩票有100个同时中奖的……剩下99个都是彩票中心主任的。

挺不错的，就是不要是ce配音就好了，猫猫很可爱，Izzy和Alicia都好棒，呜呜
轻松有爱的故事，虽然剧情平淡，但对于普通人来说，已经是一辈子的巅峰了。数学天赋发现彩票漏洞，并带动大家一起改变生活，重新为小镇注入活力。
看完电影，对了一下周六的大乐透，两红两蓝，中了15块钱，纪念一下
哦对了这个喵好卡哇
有些任务和使命或许是不值得完成的 @ AMC Bay Terrace
老白和chuck同时出现，叫古德曼情何以堪。 片中彩蛋“你俩该不会是大毒枭吧”
