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".
这就是在电影院看电影的意义，做两个小时的梦。虽然现实中我就是npc,每天做着同样的事，心疼自己。
Free City=Liberty City，“邪恶”的游戏公司是Konami和Rockstar的合体，但实际上总体美学风格更像是育碧。《失控玩家》似乎表面上充满了Cool Culture以及拟游戏化，但实际上对于真正的游戏玩家来看，它更像是热咖啡事件的电影版，而导演正是杰克·汤普森。和斯皮尔伯格的《头号玩家》截然相反，80年代热爱星战的“硅谷嬉皮士企业家”终于成为了字面上的反派boss，而影片与其说反讽了后福特时代，比如说是弗兰克·卡普拉—泽米吉斯式的旧好莱坞式幻象对于数字资本主义的一次反噬。瑞恩·雷诺兹饰演的Guy是汤姆·汉克斯的年轻版本。而在影片中，真实/虚拟的鲍德里亚问题让位给游戏中的暴力元素的不和伦理性，这些NPC无法在现实中建构身体性，而是臣服在一个更为拟古主义的虚拟乌托邦之中。
现实创造虚拟，虚拟影响现实，看完片忘了摘3D眼镜就直直往影院外头走，真是最贴切的延续和复现。楚门秀、攻壳、2001，致敬一串主题相关经典。全世界的NPC联合起来抵抗昏庸贪婪独裁者，只是真正的玩家们——由着真实的人性在游戏里做尽坏事的players和现实里即便意识到了恶仍听话执行命令的手下们——除了旁观、感叹、做一些让自己感觉良好的表情外，什么影响也没有。细节粗糙，文戏全落俗套。唯一被颤动的时刻：咖啡店员说出“卡布奇诺”那如梦方醒的一瞬。5/10
Channing Tatum 太好笑了；不是說沒有kiss的按鈕嗎，怎麼後來要喚醒記憶的時候Millie主動親上去了哈哈
NPC也有自由意志！向暴力游戏说不！冒险乐园的居民也要公共安全！抄了N多的电影，但是那种日常满天飞火箭履险如夷的调调还是很可爱，贱贱的路人气质挺符合这个角色。结局有新意，认命自己就是一封情书，真命天子另有其人。最爱忠勇的Buddy，想那么多干嘛，觉得爽去干就对了！
水平一般，不看也没什么损失。
头号玩家+楚门的世界+土拨鼠之日 结尾也很浪漫 相爱真的是一件十分幸福的事情
感觉自己看了114分钟的TikTok，这玩意甚至算不上一部爆米花电影。很难想象这是2021年的电影，浮夸的慢镜头、完全不适合当BGM的流行乐、可能落后行业十年的美术风格，这可能是一部电影摄制的最糟糕的形态。剧情方面都知道它学的是什么，但学得稀烂只能说是东施效颦。
盖在最后要是换一身死侍皮肤就完美了。😂😂😂
草薙素子挣扎了一辈子自己到底是人还是机器，美国人简单粗暴地定义为甭管你是个啥只要你有自由意志你就是个好东西。
个人满分！！中间楚门的世界居然把我看哭了(怪我泪点低)，热闹的大片元素和惊奇彩蛋也都有！优秀爆米花！！
有人说这就是《楚门的世界》➕《头号玩家》，但我觉得主角Guy就是一个不折不扣的AI版的“摩西”，带领众人“数字罢工”。剧情紧凑，节奏恰到好处。快结束的那一段真的太好玩了，把美国队长、绿巨人、星球大战玩了个遍。
65/100，一个如何把GTA变成模拟人生的故事。精神气质和《死侍》《头号玩家》有些接近，事实也证明，加入哪怕一丁点严肃思考（反反乌托邦？、媒介反思）就能让一个严重模式化的商业片增色不少。关键逆转设置成爱的小火花，这种用情感超越冰冷数据的idea，真浪漫啊。
太好看了太好看了太好看了！好浪漫的剧本，NPC和现实玩家的跨界恋爱，这得多大脑洞才能拥有这样的幻想，键盘最后在接受表白时也穿的蓝色衬衣，类似这种小细节太打动我了。不过我还是更喜欢她演小变态！（题外话
基本与你在社交网络上刷到的信息流无异，用自身的混乱证实了当下媒介传播的危机，嘈杂无首尾的思考，陨落的创造力。以及一个难以自洽的结局，先是拥抱了现实而后再次驻留虚幻？短暂的刺激过后依然提示着流文化的观赏性娱乐假象足够蛊惑试图走入幻觉的我们，它根本就没在乎过鲜活生命的发生，那突破封锁身后显现的无数条可能发生的轨迹——即便“作者”将走向的选择权给予了人类，我们得到的依旧是一个毫无生气的被支配着的傀儡，所谓的AI反抗成为了全片最可笑的一环，甚至都难以在一个相对虚幻的「底特律：变人」面前得到主体性的生长。此时它反而揭示了与真正游戏媒介悬殊着的距离(在场 交互 体验)，以及从非人的质疑走向扁平模式化即真正机械肢体的悲哀。当人们走出影院他们在谈论什么？或许是熟悉的面孔和旋律，但至少绝不是那浪漫的渴望本能。
我看的这版翻译啊，一言难尽，但是马东锡必须是我的最爱
编剧和导演到底是有多缺乏想象力，才能把一部发生在游戏世界的，主角是觉醒AI的故事，拍得如此泛善可陈，无聊到抠脚。还有，瑞安雷诺兹，我求求你了，从死侍到杀手保镖，再到这部影片，搞怪耍宝话痨插科打诨外加神经兮兮的表演还要再重复多少遍啊，帅哥的脸看多了也腻歪到想吐好吗，如果杨幂刘亦菲算没有演技的话，瑞安这种也好不到哪去吧。说回故事本身，一个觉醒的AI，决定打破重复的日常，决定去爱和享受当下，决定真正地去活，到了最后才发现，原来一切都是设定好的程序，就连爱也是设定好的，原来自己只是程序员向梦中情人示爱的情书。所谓的自由就是从一个世界被关进另一个世界，然后安心做着程序员的笼中小鸟，被人们赏玩的电子宠物。此类题材有无数珠玉在前，要深度有深度，要特效有特效，2021年还能端出同题材如此下位烂片，实在是高。
对不起我不理解女主，和人类恋爱的时候不能同时和人工智能恋爱的么？！为什么要分手？！
续集电影大多扑街 但这部真的很不错 动作戏份不说了 依旧拳拳到肉 悍匪也是真的彪悍 反派塑造都很成功 喜剧部分也是出彩 节奏把握也很好 真的是优秀低成本商业片典范 顺便说一下 同样是年代戏 比烈探强太多太多了 道具美术什么的通通加鸡腿
结尾扣一星。热热闹闹挺好看，时代金曲永远让人高兴，澳洲口音梗玩得好，就是有个问题：女主是怎么找到接吻用哪个组合键的？
