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".
7分#演员演技到位，但煽情有些明显，故事和结构稍逊色，运动的燃和激情不足
吴君如这个妆造实在是太出戏了，运动员在那个时候确实有点惨。今年举重冠军也都开始接广告了，开心😊
中规中矩，吴君如发挥稳定，胜在真实的人物做支撑好很多。
作为一个传记片，拍得太普通，明明这么热血的人生确拍得那么平铺直叙，没有情绪
他的故事很励志，很热血，但电影还是拍得很一般。
是有观看性的，虽然剧情编排上有一点抓马。但聚焦残奥运动员的角度是不错的，辉煌的背后是一家人的辛酸，取得成绩也依然得不到公平对待，热爱纵然感动也逃不开生计的困窘。运动员都是可敬的，可与片子呼应的现实是今年残奥会无人问津的现状。喊了这么多年却好像没改变什么，有种哑然的苦涩。
《媽媽的神奇小子》亦如此，
近2个小时的时间都不能把一个故事说好。是体育题材但真的没有让我感受到热血，是母子亲情但又无法让人共情（至少我真的没被触动到）
前半段要战胜的是身体的残疾，后半段要战胜的则是生活的苦。对于奥运会运动员和残奥会运动员“同工不同酬”的叩问相当有力。但苏桦伟的成功被刻画得太过轻易，所以总觉得少了几分动人。不过男主的演技是真的好，看的时候一度怀疑他真的是残障人士。
喊咗佢不如跑咗佢（用力哭不如用力跑）”
作为电影，一般，尤其不要看国语配音。不过作为真人真事改编，还是很让人感动的。
值得一提的是，这些特殊人群在影片中往往都是子女的角色，无论是《孔雀》中的“胖子”、《海洋天堂》中的王大福、《左耳》中的“小耳朵”、《一念无明》中的阿东、《了不起的老爸》中的肖尔东、《妈妈的神奇小子》中的苏桦伟……这也导致国产电影中的亲情元素在与其他类型融合的同时，不断将触角伸到了特殊人群，扩展了自身人文关怀的范畴。
最末尾有个感动点。
记得吴君如说过，希望自己再拿一次金像奖。个人觉得，这部电影够呛，但获得个金像奖影后提名，应该问题不大。加油！
用力哭不如用力跑，做不了一个普通人就做个不普通的人👍
本应是妈妈的视角，可能导演不想变成吴君如一个人的独角戏，所以把母子关系一碗水端平了，故事的深度和力度都差了口气。
二十年前麦兜故事之后，吴君如再次饰演奥运选手的母亲。
各个角色的演出出色，台词和剧本都写得很好。但是摄影手法和CG还以为在看《你好李焕英》，即便取景地和staff大多是本土出品，不过看不出港片特色。或许是为了进军大陆市场才作此选择。如果采用更朴素的摄影或许会是近年港片最佳
三星半。母亲在家里是不允许看残疾人运动会的，原因是，残疾人生活已很不易，更不要说残疾人运动员，不是不喜看，是不忍看。影片挺感人的，但是我的关注点是影片立意是什么？是了不起的神奇妈妈，还是了不起的神奇小子，抑或是神奇小子的神奇妈妈，说实话，我没看懂。还有，到现在为止，残疾人的现状有没有解决？运动员和残疾运动“同薪同酬”是否有实现？
起跑比别人慢 但努力向前追上 希望根据真实故事改编 改编的成分大一点
