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".
甄子丹四年前没有选去追可乐，四年后因为上司作梗逃过了一起火拼，老婆怀了孕不到三米的背后发生爆炸结果母子平安，被警署带回去调查问话结果上司钻了空子容了他一道。你不要说小谢不认命啊，搁我我也不服啊= =
如果你有多余的时间去看，那么它还是好看的，但是再也没有12年时候的惊艳了，桐姥爷跟亚丝娜相遇铺垫太少，虽然是对亚丝娜成长的补充，但是中间那段真的看得让人想睡觉
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。
从出道伊始，谢霆锋就被扣上了“叛逆”的刻板印象，但直到上了年纪有了肌肉，松懈下来不再紧绷的他，才终于把“叛逆”演绎的淋漓尽致。没事少烧菜，多拍拍戏吧，好作品才是真正的“锋味”。
自从某一年起，一个名为“黑警用私刑”的幽灵在香港警匪片里飘荡。
【B】故事上没多少可说的，审查尺度与导演水准共同限制了文戏上限，电影一开始抛出的有关「程序正义」和「司法腐败」的对抗命题到了最后已不见踪迹，仍旧桎梏于旧有港式警匪片的套路之中，也并未有作出突破的打算。实质便是陈木胜在生命最后时刻，倾其所有为观众展现香港动作片的昔日荣光。枪战、爆破、肉搏、追逐，种种娱乐大片元素都那般眼熟，因为它们只是过往类型经验的反复挑选再利用。教堂决斗一段又能看出多少经典动作片的影子？满腔怒火下的镜头剪切却稍显细碎，似乎也在告诉观众武打演员的黄金时代早已远去。倒也绝非港味时装动作片的“绝唱”，只是每隔一段时间电影市场所施展的回魂术，新瓶旧酒反反复复，让观众适时缅怀而后走人。
九七之前，有好警坏警，好匪烂匪，但好在泾渭分明，警是警，匪是匪……
自从某一年起，一个名为“黑警用私刑”的幽灵在香港警匪片里飘荡。
5.5。如果不看原作进击篇小说其实还行，但是作为多年前买了天角实体小说的读者虽然记不清剧情了，好像并不是这样写的emmm为了改编而加入的兔泽也只是个工具人，没有按原作动画化可惜了（有一说一，现在这么普普通通的动画作品也能拿到均分8分，还入了“冷门优作”榜，时代真的变了
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
中国观众再也不能在大银幕上看到这么猛的港片了，悲哀。
7，陈木胜遗作，但完全可以进入他个人作品序列前三，香港导演从寒战到拆弹专家再到怒火，香港类型片导演又开始了97回归前后那种香港命运的讨论，以前更多是“我是谁”的命运诘问，而现在更强调香港阶级矛盾下情绪的失控，在表达上可以算是一种升级了。几场动作戏肯定是南亚棚户区那场最好，仿佛九龙城寨再生的既视感，直接对接省港旗兵，最后教堂动作戏则致敬吴宇森，陈木胜这二十多年没有跟甄子丹再次合作挺可惜的，陈木胜的视听节奏其实完全跟甄子丹mma动作戏无缝对接的。当然怒火我认为是不如拆弹2的，拆弹2无论格局还是对现实的影射但要比这个高出一筹，但考虑到陈木胜并不是一个表达特别犀利的导演，能做成这样已经实属不易了。陈木胜这种街头感的导演的去世，绝对是香港电影的大损失，这么在地的香港导演真的拍一个少一个了。
我宣布，说粤语的小谢是全中国最帅的男人！！！谢霆锋穿着厨师服潜入银行，气氛一触即发的时候，某人在我耳边幽幽地说了句“十二道锋味”，瞬间出戏笑抽，果然厨师才是本体哈哈哈哈哈哈。五星缅怀陈木胜导演，RIP。
这次我挺匪徒，没有甄子丹这个搅屎棍的话，一切就完美了。一个复仇的故事，就是该快意恩仇，而所谓的正义感却连一句善意的谎言都不愿说。正如谢霆锋最后说当初我俩换个任务，是不是人生就此不同，甄子丹居然头也不回就往前走，好似说中了内心的黑暗。电影最后一幕完全致敬盗火线，但是枪战却是逊了一筹！特别诟病的地方是为了证明谢霆锋死的不冤，他说出狱就杀了未婚妻，真的没必要。
不错吧，让我们重新温习了刀剑神域的基础设定，而且是从女主的视角，建议看完之后可以重新看看刀剑第一集，加强学习
中国观众再也不能在大银幕上看到这么猛的港片了，悲哀。
动作戏结合实景，增添了写实主义的城市色彩。打斗之外，文戏也很扎实。现今的港产警匪片的警与匪不是非黑即白，而是让他们游走于是与非的边缘。甄子丹的警有很多丰富立体的内心博弈，可是风头却被谢霆锋的匪的复杂盖过了。陈木胜导演对霆锋是有心底那份爱的。
想起来补标一下，两星半。陈导遗作加半星。好传统的双雄片。动作戏尤其是近身搏斗比《拆弹专家2》精彩多了，但问题在于文戏上的失衡，令人无法站任何一边，也无法勾起我任何怒火，任何情绪。甚至怒火的来源，邱刚敖这个角色，也是不正常的，过火癫狂但这儿他的过火癫狂像一场笑话。这点可就比不上拆弹2了。教堂，圣母，邱刚敖的那句重复好几遍的耶稣都冇面俾啊，死法挺好。
他们在挣扎吧，他们也在反抗吧
3.5，与《拆弹专家2》的题材撞车绝对不是偶然。“被警队”（共同体）排除在外，面对革职或调任的警察（执法者，被主流话语承认的身份）这一主题的频繁出现是2019年以来香港的集体无意识，正如同陈木胜上映于1997年的作品，同样通过“调任”作为影片的开场。和邱礼涛使用叙事诡计不同，陈木胜对于隐喻的使用在于对于双方平行，甚至全知的视角，并不假定对于双方的道德判断，而是将香港电影经典的“双雄恩仇”叙事界定为一场自己人反对自己人的故事。一切都发生在叙事内部。甄子丹饰演的张崇邦伊斯特伍德般的塑料正义感是不可信的，陈真正需要言说的在影片结尾———代表着命运的教堂被改造成了色彩斑斓的角斗场，反派宣称着自己“并没有输，并在一个形式感的慢镜头之中倒下———是陈木胜本人对于自己的死亡的预演。
