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".
看之前刷豆瓣：都在尬夸谢霆锋，我又不是不认识这个人，至于吗？ 看完：卧槽小谢是真的帅，又疯批又帅!!!!!! 看之前：现在的香港电影还能拿7分以上？ 看完：卧槽，值!!!!!!!!! 总之，“这个世界不是只有黑和白”的香港电影，太久违了……
桐人不开挂差点就死了...连剑都变绿光了，也对自己老婆和女二是一对
bug1.谢霆锋逃脱追捕的时候还有时间换摩托服
不是我三观出了问题 但是这部片子是我唯一想要反派胜利的片子
你就做桐亚糖多好，做什么百合 太失望了，不过亚总是真好看，给你加一星
还好FIRST青年电影展上午没有排片，于是忙里偷闲见缝插针地看了一部港产动作片。不得不说，只要有甄子丹，至少打戏是不会差的。且整部电影所有的内容都是围绕动作戏展开，文戏也是为动作戏铺垫，所以确实还蛮爽的。这就好比一瓶肥宅快乐水，你知道永远是那个味道，也知道不会有太多额外的营养，但是喝了就是快乐就是爽啊，哈哈哈。而甄子丹的加入就意味着变成了冰镇快乐水！看完这部我无缝衔接了FIRST青年电影展由万玛才旦兼职的黑白电影《一个人的葬礼》，真的落差太大了，以至于一开始我还有些不适应。哈哈哈哈。对了，其实姚sir被杀的理由不够充分，最好在结尾处应该有所交代的，以及通过主动报案的方式去救小伙伴其实在现实中的可操作性不强，很容易自投罗网，哈哈哈。
粤语版。IMAX国语版二刷，看的很爽，暑期档终于上了一盘硬菜，真的是我看过的近几年最棒的港产动作片，兄弟反目的主线下蕴含对警队体制的讽刺。但是与相同主题的拆弹专家2不同的是，陈木胜把落点还是放在了他擅长的兄弟情谊上，谢霆锋的反派塑造尤其突出，他的邪魅与疯狂让人难忘，而结尾他的那句台词，充满着一种银河映像式命运的无常，动作戏上陈木胜和甄子丹把看家本领都使上了，大到尖沙咀警匪对射加飞车爆炸，小到九龙城寨的追逐加枪战，给人酣畅淋漓的观感，而结尾甄子丹和谢霆锋的教堂对决，无论是双刀对警棍的兵器对决还是近身搏斗，力量感和疼痛感都给到了，谢霆锋的腿功真的看到了当年《男儿本色》里吴京的影子，总而言之，陈木胜导演在生命的最后尽头，仍然贡献了一场动作盛宴，向远在天国的他致敬。（9/10）
多给了半星致敬导演。影片作为合格的警匪片动作片很工整，不错的。但总觉得应该增加三、五分钟戏份交代一下谢霆锋在狱中的遭遇和转变的，不然接受不了这个反面角色，为什么一个警察突然变得这么残忍暴虐，复仇可以，无辜的人也杀？另这个角色的狠也太绝对了，反面人设都没有层次了，不立体。是不是应该还有片刻的、半分的反思和迟疑？或者其他情绪呢。
回想起来最初接触刀剑是2013年的一个下午，那时我还在初中，无意间在某个平台上点开来看，后来一发不可收拾。那种感觉，像是我一直梦想着进入的世界，剑光乱舞的冒险世界。
問題是，劇情好像和第一季有出入？算了，看SAO就不要執著在劇情上。
港版就叫《怒火》，对陈木胜来说，是非常完美的谢幕之作了。（谢霆锋刑期四年，可以说相当港人笔法了……）
我靠我靠我靠！谢霆锋太帅了！太狠了！嘴角的疤有Joker的感觉，最后他们知道走不了吧，为啥还要背着一袋钱跑呢？最后的对打，我看到钢琴就在想，求求了求求了，别给我整一排音符出来！尼玛，果然有，我不管这是不是致敬，严重不搭，简直最大败笔。另外，受不了配音与画面脱离，为啥台词不能现场收音，港片都这样吗？
看完电影有满腔的话想说，结果正好看到吴签被刑拘，我……先吃完瓜再说。
谢霆锋啊，多演戏少做菜行不，以前以为他最好的时候是特警新人类是古惑仔少年激斗是半支烟是警察故事，现在知道一位演员最好的永远是阅历，请珍惜啊！！！陈木胜导演遗作野心勃勃，崇邦和港傲的输死对决，所有道德保险都不加，依然让观众心有戚戚，酣畅淋漓，意味深长，是遗作，也是挽歌。
从影片呈现来看，可乐之死其实是警察挑衅在先（并非无奈自卫、过失杀人）。这样一来，阿敖一众人的冤屈程度大减，由此而生的复仇意味也随之削弱了。
在这部电影里，甄子丹已经开始给自己的动作场面设计做总结了。这样的动作巨星很难有了。陈木胜导演逝世，如此“尽皆过火尽皆癫狂”的拍法，也很难有了。谢霆锋很拼命，演得出色，但他本命不在动作片。夸张一点说，这部电影也代表着一个时代的落幕。
先是成龙老了，然后李连杰也老了，现在甄能打也老了，就问还有谁。
说实话，敖哥有仇必报的性格还是令人称道的。邦主有点双标了，面对聆讯大谈感情和理想，就是不谈自己是违规；面对上司和土豪拉拢，说他们腐败要被查，那么法庭作证时那个警察高官难道就不是人渣，你那个时候就要讲事实了？
阿敖打到最后肉眼可见委屈了，那你庭审之前怎么不告诉阿邦电话里长官的原话，就让人家干巴巴作伪证啊。你是一边想拍长官马屁维护长官面子，一边自以为阿邦肯定会为了舔你和旧情而帮你，可惜，长官当庭甩锅，阿邦不肯说谎，你没有获得任意一方的backup。阿敖的狠和疯让他在反派界比肩阿祖和小丑，但这个角色的内涵，像双面人，虽然是哥谭的白衣骑士，但私下里同事们并不喜欢他的做事风格，称呼他为双面人，有能力但没有路人缘。
谢霆锋开了挂得帅 扔炸弹绝了 打戏脑子里冒出赏心悦目四个字【万象影城二十四城店
