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".
露比超可爱，皮孩子也是可以成为搜救犬🐶。最后结局真的没想到，可能这就是缘分吧。所有人都很善良很温暖，本来以为马特是坏人，但是他很有耐心，也会给机会ruby。2022最佳电影（目前）
普通了些，资金不够吧，最后救主拍得太敷衍了
日冈作为一头“孤狼”一直努力维系着广岛这样一个“原始森林”下的秩序与平衡，而上林就像是闯进这片森林的“土狗”，狂暴，残忍，灭绝人性。
没有了役所广司，少了孤狼的味道，反派像疯狗，没有孤狼，对垒起来力量有点不均衡……
看之前（和开始看的5分钟内）：嗷嗷嗷我桃帅炸！看了半个钟头后：妈呀铃木亮平是吃了开窍丸吗怎么那么会演，桃被精准碾压了！
虎头蛇尾，憋了一整集的战争就是不到十个小混混一顿乱开枪草草了事。。。
处处阳光明媚，色彩亮丽，满满的正能量！
黑社会、政治犯，都不能有好下场！结尾太突兀了，日冈在警察局跑的太轻松了
除了狗没啥看的，剧情太弱。而且格兰特都开始演爹了。？！
男人至死也是长不大的小孩，两位太太都是上天派下来收养拯救老公的天使。刚想夸说一半边牧的血统就能秒杀一整搜查队的德牧，结果片尾花絮告诉我们，真实的Ruby还是条德牧～
一部很轻松的鸡汤电影，本以为结局是编剧强行改编，但是看到采访发现这竟是真实的故事，私心想把5分给ruby，认真工作的狗狗最帅。
三星半。訪談裡亮平說本不想接這個劇本，因為難以超越前作，導演極力希望他來演上林這個極惡反派。結果就像他預料的那樣，角色完成度可以，但身份認同童年陰影什麼的還是無法撐足人物，全片100分鐘足矣。 戴上粉絲濾鏡，亮平這個可塑性加演技，大有可為，當年把他簡歷扔垃圾桶的那家事務所腸子悔青了，有機會接個小丑之類的角色吧。
这部戏开始还不错，越看越好看，男主很耐看，女主和收容所的lady也很耐看。
3.5。北野武《极恶非道》后继有人，暴力、血腥、变态。
与前作比少了厚重感，人物形象单薄不够丰满，更多的是一个疯子反派和一个郁郁不得志正派的较量。部分剧情设计不合逻辑，少了很多社会性问题，只是用了很简单的手法突显两人的打斗与警方内部的黑暗与腐败，差了点意思
很温暖的电影，狗狗看起来好棒，果然我还是记得闪电侠的演员的
不出色但不错，简简单单的故事，真狗真人真事
中文译名想象力太丰富了，本身就是小故事，没必要整个那么大的帽子。电影就是讲Ruby成为正式搜救犬的故事，本身不复杂，也谈不上多精彩
扫黑除恶也没做到极致吧，两方都是鬼吼鬼叫一片混乱。有印象的镜头就是几个极端虐女的残暴画面，非常老套和陈旧。不如上一部。话说到底有没有人接北野武的班啊，我真的很想看《极恶非道》那个水准的！
而比松坂桃李更出色的，就是铃木亮平，他将挖眼暴徒演绎的堪称完美，他的凶暴之气溢出银幕，让五十子上下帮众为之战栗。
