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".
谢霆锋疯批美人人设不错，但剧情里难以共情。回忆里黑框眼镜的造型，真好看，是真的不会老啊。别做厨子了好吗，回来多拍点电影。（不小心剧透了，删掉重发）
谢大厨是真的帅 麻烦多拍些电影吧 不要浪费了这个颜值 结尾两个人躺地上泪眼看着对方那里 就是曾经的手足互相伤害 太难过了
航班取消，跑来看场首映。“崇邦”和“刚敖”，两个名字，一种对立。主题仍是港片永恒的主题。最值得看的是谢霆锋和动作戏，小谢的帅和疯魔，非常贴合角色。回忆段落中，他一笑，我如沐春风！这家伙根本不会老啊！
他的极端、屠杀，崇邦的聆讯尬讲，怒火后面加的“重案”两字，都像一种保全措施。
算是TV动画第一季的重置（平行世界？）。不喜欢给桐人和亚丝娜的爱情的加戏，之前的白衣闪光亚丝娜X黑衣剑士桐人，吵吵闹闹就爱上了多甜啊，非要整成套路的英雄救美人生的光……但，电影也确实不差，值得及格……多出来的一星给泡澡亚丝娜和ミスミ小姐姐。
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。
谢霆锋这个造型 这个人设 这种岁月沉淀过的疯批美人 在神的注视下从万丈光芒之上堕落 啊~~~
谢霆锋＋100，甄子丹－200。
AMC IMAX看到SAO还要什么剧情，战斗炫酷爽就得了。虽说不要剧情，但这真是一点剧情没有啊…行吧，还是爽到了。果然一个ip只要一直出，迟早会成为情怀……
重情重义，缺乏细节支持的标准动作片。
虽然吃书了，但重新吃到桐亚糖真的很感动呀😤。
看完了！客观4星，情怀1星，sao是什么青春咱就不说了，总之回来了，桐亚永远的神，川原推桐亚可以浅续命一秒！
陈木胜在遗作中继续展示着那些疯狂过火的复古要素，毫不在意是否失衡的经典框架，仿佛像是不约而同般与邱礼涛庄文强等人在用影像述说着香港老一代导演们最后的骄傲。
陈导去得可惜，这部遗作批判体制看齐林岭东，罪犯也有家人看齐叶伟信，教堂开打看齐吴宇森，假以时日应该还能更上层楼。谢霆锋依然很卖力，但双刀对决警棍还是远远比不上吴京那版，如《男儿本色》般似“挨打星”多过“打星”，过于依靠剪辑足以说明问题。真正打得好看的是林国斌跟甄子丹从铁皮房打到下水道那场，有点《导火线》的味儿了。星光熠熠的全明星男配阵容，港片一以贯之的兄弟义气主题，挺过瘾。
法庭审判算是全片最好看的文戏
过瘾，非常适合在大银幕观赏，谢霆锋别当厨子了，回来演戏吧。看到最后，想到陈木胜已经不在了，有些难过。想到以后可能再也不会有陈木胜这样的导演了，更难过了。
所有熟面孔、就连邹凯光都老了。陈木胜一去，还有谁会把《盗火线》那场街头世界大战再再重现一次呢？迈克尔曼自己都不会，老派动作警匪片早已不仅在香港、也在全世界消失了。电影本身，像半部《冲锋队》，但霆锋仔还是穿上厨师服的时候比较妥帖。哦，也许更不可思议的是，就连邹凯光都不说笑话了。
后面几年我买了刀剑系列所有的书，包括6本进击篇，这部影片就有当时看第一季，艾恩葛朗特篇的感觉了。随后的妖精之舞篇，幽灵子弹篇，绝剑篇，爱丽丝篇，甚至目前最新的生存游戏篇，我都觉得不如第一部。
双雄、追车、枪战，老匠人仍在一板一眼地召唤港产动作片的传统荣光，看到最后特意设置在教堂的肉搏戏，双方都拿出久违的相互撕咬的狠劲来了。但硬件的合格映照出的是软件的薄弱：叙事结构的飘忽提前把悬念揭晓，文本的空洞也人物的疯癫感站不住脚；尤其在和《拆弹专家2》核心创意相撞的情况下，衬出邱礼涛才是懂得隐秘捕捉时代情绪的大师。看的时候脑海里不断回旋着那个提给杜琪峰的问题：“19年以后，警匪片何去何从？”无论如何，陈木胜的突然离开，也让谢霆锋的倒下，意外染上了时代落幕的意味。
港片导演讲起“用完即弃”这个主题都是满腔怒火啊，那就炸吧💥肉搏戏拍得真刺激，有看《极恶非道》那味儿了。但还是不能理解为啥失手杀可乐那场戏设计如此简单马虎。片尾出现的陈木胜导演片场花絮有点感动，看起来那么年轻有干劲却早早走了。谢霆锋这几年《锋味》节目没白拍，电影里刀法了得🔪以及他是不会老吗？跟20年前的《顺流逆流》脸几乎没啥变化～（前两天重看08年奥运《北京欢迎你》MV还在感叹他的颜值）
