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".
剧情的设计和逻辑都平平，谢霆锋这个角色所遭受的所谓“不公平”程度还不足以支撑他复仇行为的“合理”化，看完只觉得他那帮人心理有问题行为没必要，甄子丹那个角色也有些双标。但是动作戏是真的精彩，打戏精彩，飙车戏精彩，动作设计非常棒，看得很爽。最后字幕说导演过世了，那就多打一星吧。
陆港合拍，亦算是陈木胜导演遗作。本子很弱，弱到剧情经不起推敲，动作倒是凌厉、干脆，有拳拳到肉的利落。摩托躲避追捕段落太过，结尾又call back杀破狼，不过是把吴京换成谢霆锋。这部里的谢霆锋演绎英气诡谲，算是个不小的看点。始终在香港警匪片模式化套路化中重复，没有哪怕一丝半点突破。
节奏很紧凑，初看可到四星，热血褪却顿减一星。主角道德标榜圣人，面对前两次选择，拒绝上司安排的和解以及当庭的指正都选择了道德清正（但若是我，大概都会睁只眼闭只眼，一则就算不和解坚持原则依然不会对结果造成影响还连累了队友，而且一个人的决策大概率会影响结局；二则虽然阿锋确实触碰了底线，但事出有因毕竟可以选择性的看不见），第三次面对自家老婆却放弃了原则，面对责问却说你们也会做这样的选择。可见他的行为也是分亲疏的，那之前两次的圣人行为就变的自相矛盾，所以为了成就圣人而正义，又为了体现真情而突破原则，过于脸谱的人物行为本身标准就是混乱，何谈其他。每个人的行为也都缺乏后手和延续，仿佛都是一时意气，观影时节奏紧张尚不觉得，看完后就索然起来。不得不感慨无间道果然是警匪片无法超越的巅峰。
亚丝娜视角的sao，炒冷饭我也不介意！
谢霆锋这组人™就跟暴力团伙一样，戾气也太重了！都说出情报了还把人打死，还怪主角不作伪证放了他，这组人以暴制暴没有分寸，就算没去跟可乐的线也迟早都要进监狱的。
充其量三颗星吧，毫无新意，烂大街的情节，谁死谁活一目了然。至于谢霆锋的表演，从他的第一部电影到现在，依然没什么进步，而甄子丹的表演，也是永远没有人间烟火味……
整体剧情来说不功不过，亚丝娜yyds，为什么每次亚丝娜的线都有种百合的感觉
绝对是爷青回了，茅场老贼登场瞬间将我拉回那个中二少年意气的时光！一直都有一个遗憾就是要是可以看到桐人从第一层打上顶层的故事就好了，真的是！感动了，希望可以看到后续每层的攻略啊啊啊啊啊！
反派一直智商在线，这点赞
2021最值得走进电影院的新片！小谢摘下面具的邪魅一笑让整个影厅都沸腾了😍😍😍甄子丹作为整部片的动作指导真让人惊叹，尤其是当街头枪战已经把气氛推到了顶点，还要设计出一段能担起压轴的肉搏，给小谢拍的打戏比给他自己的还要帅爆了，全程姨母笑并脑补了一万篇同人文
1⃣️《警察故事》时代：警是警，匪是匪。2⃣️《无间道》时代：警察里面有内鬼，但“我”想做个好人。3⃣️《怒火》现在：是体制背叛了警察，警察宁做匪。这就是陈木胜用命写的故事。
全程内心os: 这么久了，霆锋怎么还可以这么帅！请你表做厨师了，多多营业拍片吧！为啥丢给手榴弹耍个双刀，可以帅气到让人忍不住截屏……真不枉我曾经那么喜欢你。人活着就是在不同的年纪反复爱上谢霆锋，你就是我的青春和现在，yyds！
如果能有一个更好的剧本，完成度会高得多。这个剧情硬伤太多了，甄子丹的动作戏恐成唯一看点，哦对了，谢霆锋还是不做菜的时候更帅啊。陈导一路走好。
看的肾上腺素上升，燃爆了。片尾“永远怀念在天国的陈木胜导演”，我第一次认识这个名字还是在一部叫《男儿本色》的时装动作片，然后一路看了您很多部的优秀电影，衷心的谢谢您，陈导。评论说能从这部里面看见很多电影的影子，确实，《新警察故事》、《盗火线》、《杀破狼》、《导火线》，甚至跟《拆弹专家2》也有一点的相像，但真的不影响片子的好看。如果大家有喜欢警匪动作片的，推荐各位去看，它值得一个火爆的票房。
摸着良心讲 是可以接受的 虽然看到后面有点疲劳 谢谢甄子丹 把谢霆锋衬托得很好 有很多还蛮好笑的细节 比如谢霆锋带着兄弟穿着X味的“厨师”制服 比如谢霆锋耍刀只让我想起他扮酷甩香蕉 比如谢霆锋有一个look很想Michael Jackson 比如永远用力过猛的谭耀文（就是个笑话） 似乎香港所有演过警察的配角龙套都来演警察了 齐聚一堂 很多对白一看就是改过再配音的 很生硬 然后我再摸一次良心 谢霆锋顺眼多了 而且这次表演没有面瘫没有抽搐 很难得 打得比甄子丹多比甄子丹好看
相形之下，正派男主确实被衬得默守陈规、呆板无聊。片子虽有短板，但这水准已是目前港片近天花板了，真伤感。
《特警新人类》成了“特警中年组”；吴浩康简直有一万种方式不狗带啧啧。武戏干净利落符合期望，不过文戏略显拖延。在还剩四十多分钟时，就让两人直接摊牌对峙有想法；但末了“为动作而动作”，也还是扯。张崇邦、邱刚敖抑或是任达华的客串，个人对“体制”的挑战、不甘与破立均是触及；虽只言片语，也显宝贵。陈木胜稳定发挥，多半星 #R.I.P.
意难平。看的时候全程没觉得阿傲有任何错，在报仇的时候也替他暗爽，反而邦主双标假清高。那个公子就是成事不足，败事有余。如果不是他用言语刺激可乐，可乐也不会咬他不松口，阿邦也不会因为救他失手杀了可乐。出狱后还贪心看上王琨的手表，失控杀人，暴露了自己和大家的行踪，淦！
陈木胜导演捍卫了香港动作电影最后的荣光。一路走好。
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”。
