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".
狙击手可以的， 确实是以小见大，越发庆幸自己生活在和平繁华的年代；致敬每一位人民子弟兵，谢谢他们的伟大付出，虎年大吉大利！
题材选的不错。但是细节太差了。逻辑硬伤实在受不了。
最近抗美援朝电影电视剧纪录片看的有点多
比隔壁的一堆特效大场面好太多了，全片小人物小任务，真正的以小见大。
狙击手这部电影真的是没有让我们失望呀，张艺谋导演镜头下的作品真的是太让人惊艳了吧，这样精彩又具有纪念意义的战争片真的很爱！
比悬崖之上要好。尽管只拍了一场很小规模的狙击战，格局肯定不能和长津湖比，但整体节奏紧凑，拍得足够精彩，也不刻意弱化美军，有来有回，以对手的强大衬托我方狙击手的强大。章宇的表演尤为精彩，眼神里几乎带刀。只是作为另一主角的陈永胜，张艺谋似乎有把他处理成男版刘浩存的倾向，如果哭戏能少一点就好了。
雄赳赳气昂昂过鸭绿江
战争不止是枪林弹雨的大场面，也有如一片雪原的对峙与焦灼的小场景，小场景也能拍出大胸怀，比某主旋律好。
班长死后的后三十分钟电影节奏失控了。前面的部分都很好。综合下三颗星。可惜了尾部。还是那句话。张艺谋的电影每部都值得看。
与某某用惨烈大场面，人数多烘托相比，简直是太高明
春节档看的第一部电影，高于预期，这种视听调度上很出彩的片子果然是我的菜。把一群人放在一个场景里去完成一个任务，这种电影创作上极简化的处理，是导演给自己设置的难度，也是导演的野心。剧本上这种压缩戏剧空间和时间的设计，做出那种情节紧凑，故事一气呵成的观感，不浪费每一秒钟。张艺谋导演在这样的小格局里，展示了高超的视听技巧，有着超一流的镜头调度和剪辑节奏。他调动了一切导演技巧和技术手段去完成人物的塑造，将情绪拉到满格的同时，还没忘了适时的让观众从叙事中抽离，也有意在避免战争片里俗套桥段和敌方的刻板印象。那种从头到尾都在蔓延的感动情绪，不只来自演员的表演，还来自于导演精准的掌控，他不是强行煽情，不会按着你的脑袋让你哭，而是让你不知不觉沉浸到这个那个戏剧情境里，这就是电影作为一种视听语言的魅力。
挺好的一片子。别的先不说，就凭时长先从动不动两小时往上压回90分钟，就值得好评。故事不错，画面也OK，最后碰到连长和大部队时真的瞬间泪目。给老谋子点赞。
看的出来，零时拼凑出来的电影，演员演技不在线，剧情bug有点多，镜头设计不像大师水准。
找到帽子了😭
《狙击手》看完，最大的感受就是克制。克制住了战争题材的宏大叙事结构，克制住了多线群像的野心，克制住了煽情的冲动。转而将视线聚焦于一场狙击战，去繁从简，干净利落。没有刻意贬低和矮化对手，战争是没有选择，但尊敬可以是互相的。虽然有一些镜头自己不是很喜欢（比如采访结束突然转向张译那个镜头的速度过快、子弹特效过多且失真等等），但瑕不掩瑜。克制之间情绪感染力极强，靠一个眼神、对周遭的描述带出的情感，这样的视听逻辑非常喜欢。
说两个不好的：1.子弹特写；2.最后的点名。其余都不错，尽管单薄，不失为一段精炼又克制的章节。
尊严只在剑锋之上，真理只在大炮射程之内！（2.1 16:55~18:31）
最近抗美援朝电影电视剧纪录片看的有点多
田愈多而牛愈耕，
做减法是好事，但是不够精彩。结尾有点乱来了。
