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".
不得不说马东锡的魅力，一拳……又一拳，看的就是过瘾痛快。影片开头就致敬了《釜山行》《寄生虫》，刚到越南的时候，想起了《国际搜查》、《从邪恶中拯救我》，菲律宾泰国越南，不是一个国家，国情都差不多。接下来的节奏极其流畅，很自然就转回国内。全程很“暴力”，但搞笑又轻松，配乐想起了《老手》。最后制服孙锡久的时候，锡哥极其给力。朴智焕的人设，完全可以猜到，丝毫没有剧透的感觉，表演的夸张是《我们的蓝调》的延续，太搞笑了。
虽然舞台剧的感觉有点浓，但仍然非常值得一看
2022.4.21 上次说涨到8分我就来看 还真涨到8分了那就必须来看了 之前的译名是誓不低头的 不知道为啥突然改成了套装 又看不懂了…唉 为什么年纪越大有些方面的理解能力会有显著提升 但同样的另一些方面就会下降呢…前面还看得比较懂 从说女主是拉方丹的人还是啥就开始混乱了 一混乱就啥都不能理解了…只知道是一个老裁缝计划了好几个月的计划 就在这天男二和男三闯进他房间开始实施 后面干掉了那个家族还有他的儿子 杀手什么的
又一个选了隐藏身份热门职业的裁缝，一个夜里一个店里，布局太精，更贵在短小。每个人都腔调十足，最后一次的反转多余了
雷纳德是一位手艺精湛的裁缝，一场火灾之后，他离开了伦敦，来到芝加哥，在这里经营着一间属于自己的裁缝店。店里的员工除了雷纳德自己外，还有一个名叫梅布尔的姑娘，梅布尔的父亲是一个臭名昭著的恶棍，背负着父亲的“盛名”，梅布尔下定决心要攒够钱，去看一看这个肮脏黑暗的街区以外的世界。
反转够多，节奏够好，但店外的关系和背景完全靠默认就有点缺失感吧
但这，不恰恰是问题吗。
太厉害了，场景都没转，全靠台词衔接叙述。挺厉害挺厉害。
略刻意，不过一些设悬手法明显学习了希区柯克，现在看来也算有点惊喜
虽然说剧情上有反转，但是从头到尾还是有点太平铺直叙，基本上没有啥视听技巧，高潮来的太晚，反转有些俗套到让人猜到。编剧转导演的处女作还是很稚嫩。
孙锡久的反派帅疯球了！！Real GANGSTA
1.贵在小成本单场景却依旧引人入胜，且层次丰富颇具质感；2.不足在剧情上还是有些牵强的点，比如头马杀死公子略显儿戏，以及老头自己录了磁带、伪装了信件、秘书姑娘的真实身份等；3.还是有野心的，留了很多续集的空间，比如老头前史、秘书前史、outfit等，甚至可以搞剧集；4.这个戏很像小人物，都是小切口的先怂后雄起的好电影。
依然是以暴制暴的爽片，依然是第一部的故事模式-马叔对决狂气杀人魔，依然是“涉外”题材，故事背景转换到越南胡志明市，韩国黑帮绑架杀人，再偷渡回韩国继续恩怨情仇。当然中国也不能避免被黑，贡献了两个同伙、一个线人和一群白给的三合会。江海尚的纹身是“不惧戴天”吗？神乐的怨刀？（误）
其实不够缜密，转场接得太紧，缺少必要的过渡，但格调太高级了。(我个人的小小遗憾就是:黑帮要弄一个录音机那么难吗？带那么多钱买磁带，不听一下就付款了？
终于改回套装这个名字了，之前莫名其妙的叫誓不低头都找不到了。。看前一个多小时还以为是普通的黑色电影，看如何用话术和表演互相智斗博弈最后大反转。结果编剧竟然还能在此基础上创新，把反转搞得像圆白菜一样，来了个层层剥离，直接把戏外观众骗了个团团转，直到最后不到十分钟的时候才彻底明白了所有的事情。逻辑还没有因为反转搞事情而没失去黑色电影推敲的严肃性，这个好，这个巧妙，可以加一星
全世界都爱马东锡！反派也好帅 大砍刀咻咻咻
剧本扎实，情节紧凑，画面质感，人物塑造经典，叙事节奏很好，于方寸之间尽显腾挪跌宕，看似波澜不惊，实则暗流涌动，乃至波涛汹涌，除却偶尔有些剪辑略显突兀之外，每个节点和反转都适得其所。
1.舞台剧味道实足2.不是Michael Pitt
小而精致，出其不意，算得上是小成本佳作，但看完以后其实留不下什么深刻印象。
三星半，很纯粹的悬疑电影，一切都发生在裁缝店内，没有花里胡哨的大场面，就是一个看似畏畏缩缩的老头最终扳倒所有人的故事，其实不算很超出意料，但马克·里朗斯的演技真的让电影更上一层楼。
