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".
过于粗糙的剧情，这么长时间、这么些老戏骨，时间都花哪里了？一星给智叔吧。
剧情单薄，但最后方中信的那段补充发言，正正为法律的信仰而发声。既然游戏规则要存在，我们就要做最懂游戏规则的人，并避免规则被不公正利用。（最近两个月看胖球比赛看到有点累，今日又身体状态不太好，换换电影看）
认钱大状一遇到正义菜鸟和陈年旧案的受害人立刻就变回了从前那个只爱正义不爱钱的律师？所有证人证据都没了的时候，律师亲自上阵作伪证然后一切迎刃而解？结局不要太假了好不好！
昨天晚上一边写证据目录一边看的，感慨就是关键得有钱才行，有钱能使磨推鬼。
制片国家/地区: 中国大陆 / 中国香港
小混混运气值爆棚啊，睡了富二代、被诬陷打赢了官司，直接开直播肯定能发财
看完之后，发现这部电影还不错，没有院线上映可惜了。。。给5分支持。。。算是近年比较好的香港电影，比反贪风暴5好多了，真的。推荐大家可以看看。
结局方中信大哥的发言实在是太官方了。前面都还ok，但是很多细节都缺失，看着不够过瘾。
5分 很套路 前面铺垫那么多 反转的也太容易了 又是一部看开头猜得到结局系列 只可惜在现实世界里是不会这么理想的 都是权力只手遮天
整个剧情和节奏都很一般。在感情纠缠中，官二代杀了富二代，找了穷小子背锅，看起来是律师“伪造”文书实现公义。但实际是富二代老爸用钱疏通了阻碍拿到了证据，在法庭上直接锤死了官二代。
凶案本身不明不白的，死者这种身份经历的女性会当公子哥的小三?或是电影背景介绍不够，一字未提正氏。是否强奸从尸检检不出来吗?其它剧情就看律师玩游戏了。
折腾一圈，靠的还是资本，最后还要说是法制的胜利？ kelvin这个人存在的意义是什么，一开始还以为是双雄片。如果说他为的是触发方中信思想转变，那钢笔上的字发挥的作用没比他小多少
阵容还是不错的，剧情也是有些想法的。但整体制作，真就只能当网大看了。包括有几个年轻演员的表演，也是不太行。
中规中矩的法庭片，片尾男主独白比较令人出戏，不过也只能这样了，毕竟普通香港人拿李嘉诚等大地产商没办法啊。

挺有戏的故事底子，命案、党棍、黑警、强权……拍得实在是波澜不惊，太过顺当。
其实，挺好看的。有些程序太不正确了哈哈哈，但是让大鳄内部瓦解，很有东西。差不多也是起楼让政府搁置公屋李黄瓜式人物和儿子叫曾志威的装腔作势政客wow再严格点6.8其实绝对能有的，不解。
作为律政剧，它把律师们当了空气；作为刑侦剧，它把警察们当了空气；作为主旋律剧，它把观众当了空气。三星给还在坚守香港电影的老戏骨。
boss一出场，就知道是boss，全片就在等怎么扳倒boss了。
剧情平淡，不知道这部电影想表达什么，正义还是需要钱才能伸张？
