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".
虽然一开始有点尴尬，但是看完了之后还是非常上头的
多线叙事+大量倒叙让电影更加精彩，看到底也还是那个行骗天下的剧情，没有多少惊喜，一直在等着剧情是如何反转的。
虽然渣男一脸晦气相看着让人恶心但还是希望这个系列能一直拍下去
乏善可陈。不是粉丝所以给2星。进去之前完全没看过原作，发现魔法师的剧情过的如此迅速就意识到估计是有很多前作的粉丝向电影，这都可以理解，但我还是不懂为什么要挑出柜这种剧情拍，真的是俗套又无聊，全程能看的就是男主的脸
所以设这个局只是为了骗僕ちゃん？和英雄挂钩硬搞升华实属没必要。感觉没有上一部有趣，欺诈师之间的对决，ダー子这边完全是人数取胜啊，明明可以直接逮捕的人还要搞欺诈，这不合理，之前都是只能靠欺诈，这回是真不太行。全片最大的想不到大概是手工艺大叔是骗子😂
最后的反转出来的时候明显后劲不足
真是童话啊，作为原著粉感觉还挺圆满的。（之前没关注过演员，今天看了他俩的挨拶感觉性格也挺有意思的。）
比上一部好看。濑户康史演得不错。赤星都变成达子的小猫了。star和杰西还活在台词里。
麻醬是日本國寶，但這劇本太弱了，懸疑感弱得可以忽略不計，剪輯還把節奏全弄亂了
3主角团开了天眼和金手指，怎么扯都能圆得过来。当然，总体还是比大部分同题材电影强的，只是没有原来那么惊艳了。
一方面是反转的剧情比较牵强，另一方面三人组无敌的设定已经出现审美疲劳。
五星纯纯是因为我太喜欢电视剧版本了，电影版真实来讲只能给2-3星。没有任何为电影版打造的大场景(昨日的美食至少有给一段美美的京都)，不知道在电影院看的意义是什么。且节奏好拖沓，合着根本没有什么矛盾冲突的平淡发展(家人也都亲事答应的太快了)让我看了好几次手机现在几点了。。甚至连精髓的笑料部分都少，观感还不如情人节sp了呢。只是为了给粉丝一个交代的感觉好强烈。不过我依然还是那么喜欢町田和赤楚，ライブビューイング看到他俩默契的一对一答才让我有了些姨母笑的感觉。喜欢樱桃魔法依然是很开心的事呢，不会后悔。也会继续关注他俩演出的其他作品的，町田的古装也很好哇，町田土方什么的！！！
没带期待值进电影院，看完出剧场已被感动。剧情很童话，向家人出轨顺风顺水，成年人的童话。不过长崎两人起床那一幕，和早上阿达亲在家做饭被睡迷糊的黑泽从身后抱住，这些小细节画面总能戳到我的萌点。一个王子和曾魔法师的happyend。就是一些镜头私认为镜头光圈实在开得太过了。
前面太难看了😅而且前两条线展开后就太好猜了…既然把答案解释出来了为啥又回去讲一遍过程？立意嘛，心灵鸡汤水平。消遣品算不上了都。啊，最后固定节目舞台表演加到五星（误
场景放果然有点违和 讲英语也挺奇怪的 不如前三部不知是审美疲劳还是确实新意不足
焦点人物视角叙事，最后痛快的大反转。眼见不一定为实，什么是真实，什么是虚假，只有神明才能知道答案，欢迎来到欺诈师的世界！达子被拯救是因为她有一群小伙伴陪伴她，维护世界和平不一定要靠英雄，也许是需要一群志同道合的侠盗。一路看着的黑道大哥赤星已经沦为达子的小猫咪，真是惊喜不断。最后彩蛋的歌舞秀简直就是儿童节礼物来的，好久没有看一个让人这么开怀大笑的电影啦
做的还不错的一个系列，反正充满欢笑，也映照梦想。真的是日本难得的商业系列电影了。
彩蛋1是警贼合作亦或杀向欺诈师社团东京本部，彩蛋2是2.5次元音乐剧《鸟兽戏画》再次诈骗成功。
杰西和Star的“出现”既温柔又残忍 这个系列已经宛如贺岁片 热热闹闹就行 下一部可以完结了 但不完结就继续看
松重丰、阿部宽、城田优、熊猫、真木阳子、花花，再加上那些定番大咖，这系列的卡司可真是越来越豪华了。不过剧情只能说麻麻，毕竟看这么多集行骗天下早就养成了习惯——不到最后五分钟任何人说的话都别信。
