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".
我现在看到威尔史密斯演这种励志政治正确样板戏就有点疲劳，但不得不说这个剧本非常精确精准，没有半点拖泥带水，剧情起伏也非常好莱坞，是一部准确的教科书模板，可以是晚饭后去看一眼然后回家睡觉的片子，中规中矩，在规范的百分卷上答了99到100分。只有一点，不要再说教了这位大男子主义的父亲。
看了最后的照片，发现还原度很高。今年影帝有戏嗷
感動得一蹋糊塗！讓我醬完全不懂網球的人都迷上大小威廉了！！理查是偉大的，偉大在他是真的啥都知道。他一家子牛逼烘烘的像是自大得無比自信，他卻自己明白謙虛的重要；彷彿一切真在他掌握中，他的計畫書是神的計畫書。無論再有天賦我們還是要努力呀諸君！！
也太尴尬了。一个人摸了两副同花顺，非要炫耀自己牌技好。全片就是父亲角色在四处嘚瑟和摆谱，故事镜头却忽视了威廉姆斯姐妹本身的努力。拿着所谓的另辟蹊径的破题点，蹭着黑人、女性平权的浪潮，却忽略伟大女性的努力本身。就仿佛威尔·史密斯最终凭借这部电影拿到奥斯卡影帝，凭借的都不是本身的能力，拙劣的道德绑架吧。有些人的“终成影帝/影后”是长篇励志故事，有些人的则是差强人意。
If I gotta be brutally honest (and I will), 我对洪尚秀实在喜欢不起来，也感受不到金敏喜在本片里美/出彩在哪里。
King Richard
6项奥斯卡提名，无比契合当今的奥斯卡口味，各种拿奖buff叠满了，不给史皇个影帝都说不过去，况且对比卷福和加菲，我更喜欢史皇这次的发挥，他这次的表演也更合奥斯卡的口味，赌一把影史第四位奥斯卡黑人影帝！曾经有过打网球的经历，所以比赛段落情绪都很带动，除此之外就是稳扎稳打的美式政治正确，很难说它不好看，每个点转折点都准准踩到了经典套路上，但就是说，很难能带来惊喜，不过看之前也大概预知了质量如何，也算是大差不差。
大小威确实牛逼，但是他们爹就像很多美国知名运动员的父母一样，已经是黑人的一条公式化出路了，比如球爹，并没有那么特殊。能走多远，还是看天赋
说实话，这么好的故事，拍成这样，真的不算及格。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈天啊 全天下還有誰不知道洪金如膠似漆情比金堅的話 這就是他的死刑
C-. 颁奖季最陈腐平庸的“八股文”范文。明明是聚焦大小威成长过程的网球电影，却全然沉溺于兜售成功学的鸡汤，对运动也沦为完全机械性与程式化的展示。存在的唯一价值就是让威尔·史密斯冲奥，但相比其他影帝竞争者，这样的表演本身也太无聊了。
比《摔跤吧爸爸》差2.5部《我花样女王》的“打球吧女儿”，大小威都是传奇，可这部电影却连个离奇都没拍出来，真看不出来威尔史密斯有啥资格挑战奥斯卡影帝的。
真就是为了得奖而去的，在我看来，充满了各种正确，但主人翁成功了，电影也成功了，有什么好说的？
太热血，太感动了，好的家庭教育真的很重要，即使最后没能成为世界第一，也不会碌碌无为
韩国电影有奉俊昊，有朴赞郁，有姜帝圭，有可以和整个世界缱绻的风声和暴雨
老套的黑人政治正确电影，剧情平庸，乏善可陈。
虽然没有摆脱传统运动传记片的模式，但观感不沉闷还是很舒服的。史皇这次诠释的父亲形象很多面，偏执、自负、风趣、懦弱，演技令人折服。以及碧昂斯的片尾曲太好听辽～
{★★★} Will Smith凭借一个爹味角色与颁奖礼上的爹味行为获得奥斯卡殊荣，学院嘉奖的到底是哪一个爹？看完这部电影后我明白了：是戏外的爹。且不说Fences就剖击过相似的黑人爹，对中国人来说他显然不会是什么陌生人物--短评区遍地哀嚎的鸡娃PTSD就是证据。但随着年龄增长，我越来越能理解这些父亲，一个没什么选择的年代教会了他们剥夺孩子的选择，但这不代表我认可他们的行为。就像历史证明Richard Williams的教育是奏效的，不代表那是正确的。
除了要女儿接受教育外，这片一点都不讨喜，男主自己说要谦逊却跑去坑教练，不到最後段根本是个专横，自以为自己最懂的货，就算两个女儿成功了，只看这片我根本看不出男主哪里是King(蛮横度倒是对上了)。
不太了解真实故事，但感觉演员们装扮动作真的太像了，Will Smith演技真的厉害！感觉可能还是美化了，不过这种规划与方针可能真的有用，尤其是教育比运动更重要的理念，对于走专业运动员的道路来说真的是难能可贵。大小威廉姆斯属实是体育传奇了。
