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".
还记得看的第一部陈木胜导演作品是《冲锋队之怒火街头》，这部电影里融合了枪战、追车、爆炸、肉搏、亡命悍匪、“犯错”的精英、团队大家庭的情义、对警队制度的探讨以及正邪对立，而时至今日观看本片，发现一切竟是如此的熟悉，光影仿佛穿越了时光重叠在一起，原来陈木胜导演想讲的在25年前已经讲过，陈木胜导演所坚持的在25年间一直在坚持，陈木胜导演所拍的在25年后依然能够点燃港片及动作片爱好者的内心，叹息的是以后在大银幕上再也无法感知这股刚猛激燃的怒火，这团火只能在家用播放设备上一遍遍的重拾，燃情陈木胜导演带给我们的美好时光，正如他的导演处女作《天若有情》里歌曲所唱的：人生虽短暂，无悔共你，穿梭天边与海岸。
精彩！本片难得地容纳了经典港产警匪动作片的主要类型元素，从尖沙咀北京道激烈枪战到街头疯狂飙车，从茶果岭贫民窟孤胆厮杀到教堂近身肉搏，都给人留下了深刻印象。包括开场在不知名废弃商场的枪战戏，陈木胜这次有意回避了在香港地标性大建筑里搞大场面。相比之下，去年底上映的主题相似的《拆弹专家2》就像个乖乖仔模范生，精致地失去了港片的某些精髓。而抛给观众的还是那个问题：是什么让一个惩恶扬善的好人走向了反社会滥杀无辜的不归路？【广百金逸】
怎么说呢，期望越大失望越大，不仅毁了桐人前期高冷的形象，也毁了亚丝娜坚强的形象，加入这个人的意义完全没发挥出来，以为是中间为救亚丝娜挂了，让亚丝娜坚强的原因，结果发现完全不是，像这样的，宁愿不重置，而且也和进击篇小说差很远，真的失望
the movie is good, but not interesting enough for me to watch the whole movie, I only watched half of it¯\_(ツ)_/¯
虽然吃书了，但重新吃到桐亚糖真的很感动呀😤。
太对了，用现在最新的制作技术把第一部的细节拉满好好讲一遍情怀粉就很满足了，初次见面还很青涩的桐人，闪光亚丝娜的诞生，一晃这么多年过去vr也有了元宇宙也有了现在再看别有一番风味，十年前的刀剑神域开创了一个时代，当时追番的好奇心和感动现在还记得，桐人和亚丝娜真的是很幸运遇到了彼此
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。
可能被之前的好评渲染得期望太高，看完觉得其实就是还不错的典型的打打杀杀的港片。甄子丹能打，但演技好像真的太僵了。谢霆锋疯癫角色真是演活了，没想到他演技这么好。以及看完片只想再次感慨，香港街道真的好窄。
没想到啊没想到，谢霆锋你个本色男儿也叛变革命了！
怒火发于内心 “服务为本 精益求精”；和李安的摩托戏一对比 陈木胜的打击感和紧迫感可震撼太多了
他们用“看看你那副嘴脸”这样突兀的台词在表达什么呢？
还行，在预料之内。但精彩和娱乐程度略不及序列之争。
最后谢霆锋站在钢琴上很难不联想到joker，然后往后一倒，疯批死在了圣母怀里，太绝了
就动画版越走越远，我初心始终是喜欢sao的。但怎么说呢，除了情怀在那边，实际也没太多让我觉得很精彩的地方。桐姥爷出场让我激动了一下下之外也可以说没什么亮点。一开始的百合也…有点生硬。
虽然有点吃设定，但是又奇奇怪怪的圆上了动漫的剧情，感觉更加丰满了亚丝娜这个人物
酣畅淋漓 动作戏十分流畅 飞车戏很紧张感觉真的要撞到人一样 比拆弹专家2要好 尤其是谢霆锋这个角色比之刘德华更要阴暗 毕竟坐牢和做文职是两码事 甄子丹单枪匹马抓林国斌那一段也超级精彩 拳拳到肉 好几年没看到如此精彩的港片了 想到以后只会越来越少更难受了 为了已逝陈木胜导演加一星
😭😭SAO篇永远是最好看的
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！
之所以四星是因为我还在等进击篇的tv版。
