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".
电影前半部分，一直贯穿着陈木胜独有的警匪动作片气质。。。
针子弹，酷挺疯。动作戏失望，模仿其它电影的痕迹明显，也太多了……
一如既往的动作戏好看，剧情老套，谢霆锋演技也拉垮。
3.5 和《拆弹专家2》撞梗了，相比之下这部的怒火明显泄气，文戏有些浪费。塑造了一个非常可爱的反派，拥有如此多的高光时刻，美丽冷兵器、头被按到钢琴键上弹琴、被圣母像的钢钉刺穿胸膛。没觉得杀女朋友劫小孩做人质有什么问题，反派遵循道德标准，那是反派失格 20210901二刷了粤语版心满意足，太可爱了那个小表情
警队又一次分裂了，无名的愤怒又一次爆发了，是什么让差人与贼的界限被模糊的、是什么让差人的愤怒被激发甚至大过贼的？这两年香港的警匪片重新找到了这个抓手，一路打下去，看打到底、炸到底，香港会变成什么样？差人变贼，好像死亡是唯一救赎，这就是无解中给出的答案。陈木胜的生命能量在电影中看起来没有任何的衰退，发光到最后一刻，突然熄灭，看到结尾的致敬词，才恍然意识到他已经走了。那以后能拍这种警匪片的香港导演，又少了一位了吧。
你永远可以相信陈木胜电影里的谢霆锋，太帅了，真的太帅了。现在的环境下，香港警匪片怨气真的太大了，不知道类型片研究会不会提出一个愤怒的时代的新概念。（秦岚那个角色竟然是小学舞蹈老师，甄子丹在体育馆救老婆那场戏实在是想艾特我师兄
霆锋现在有演技了，不是年轻时那种只会狠狠的样子了，会了很多能表达内心的“小动作”，细节也有了，整个角色就丰富很多，但其实表达蒙冤创伤的部分还是太粗糙了，那种在友情中受伤的感觉没有很到位，但这都该是编剧和导演的锅。霆锋的美真是动态的，看剧照和看正片完全两个感受。动作戏尚且算是好看，追逐已经僵化到会看困，最可惜的是两男的情谊，刚刚掀起一点波澜就完全被压制下去了，编剧就是个shi，完全没在这方面发力。为霆锋的演技可惜。甄子丹的文戏近乎尴尬，还是不要给他这么重的负担演需要心理需要表演的东西了。
给谢霆锋设计的打斗和枪战戏份还是挺帅的，就是耍狠的时候说出的港普有点出戏，好好练练台词，估计谢霆锋的上限更高，剧情就还是比较老套……（结尾穿的衬衫是什么牌子的，经过那么激烈的打斗领子还能立，想入手一件）
内容无甚新意，然而万万没想到，最适合演《小丑》的中国演员是谢霆锋。太帅了！
脑海中就会浮现那一句话：收手吧阿祖 外面全是警察 哈哈哈
爆炸，影片里面没有绝对的好人坏人，两者之间只差了一瞬的选择。看得热泪盈眶，可惜陈木胜走了，以后类似的动作片就直接少了一个顶梁柱，也许再也没有了
虽然没有惊喜但看的很爽快和伤感，除去陈木胜遗作因素，很久没有这么流畅正邪对立的电影了。谢霆锋的反派形象树立的很好，怒火满满，黑化十足。和邱礼涛的拆弹3相互对应，用完即弃的不满写在港人的电影里。动作场面流畅不拖泥带水，追车戏和枪战都很高水准的惊人心魄。这样的港片可能真是看一部少一部啦。
纪念逝去的陈木胜导演 动作枪战都太帅了，剧情稍微有些瑕疵 很多突然的转场很让人惊艳 谢霆锋狠起来真有男人范 当好兄弟反目成仇，一伙好人堕落成疯子，你永远不知道他会爆发出怎样的威力
够硬，够猛，让我无比后悔没有去电影院，当然就算是在电脑上也获得了酣畅淋漓的观影体验。内核与拆弹2倒是有类似之处，不过陈木胜导演不过点到为止。当然显然最喜欢的是枪战戏肉搏戏，大概算是这种港式时装动作片的复兴，拳拳到肉似乎是要倾泻对于这个世界的怒火。这该死的厨子怎么能这么帅，谁不爱一个疯批的大帅哥呢，最后的那一声质问无疑又拉高了他的人物塑造和立意。应该是年度十佳了。8.5/10
不看画面清晰度的话，还以为是老片，有那味儿。不过是完全不用脑子看就行，打的很好，剧情没用的。
火爆的动作场面+兄弟情谊是陈木胜的代名词，《怒火·重案》似乎想重现当年《怒火街头》的气势，但全部完毕之后更令人怀念前者，总觉得差一口气。总体来说是《新警察故事》+《拆弹专家2》+《杀破狼》混合在一起的感觉。最好看的动作戏是在茶果岭，甄子丹和谢霆锋的最终决战令人乏味，因为已经知道了结局是如何，到了后面已经没有新鲜感了。开头甄子丹与高层的文戏没有下文颇为可惜，但甄子丹毕竟是武打演员，能不尴尬已经算是极限了。谢霆锋看上去有种小丑+张晋的感觉，但表演有些许空洞，人物没有丝毫的感染力。也许我这种观众应该是比较难满足的吧（笑）。R.I.P陈木胜。(3/5)
首先港式警匪片套路永远不会让你失望，然后因为疫情看了个包场，万达4D厅座位三个一联，自动识别有没有坐人，是啥效果呢？就是
这就是近些年最好的港片了，片尾字幕缓缓打出”永远怀念在天国的陈木胜导演“的时候真的一下子就破防了，把火爆与纯粹并存玩得如此极致也就陈木胜了。怒火的剧情风格有点梦回陈导96年的怒火街头了，而宏大的枪战爆破场面又有点辣手神探的意思，外加甄子丹的动作指导风格，除了过硬的剧情和大场面，对打动作戏的质量更是无限接近杀破狼和导火线了，总之真的太精彩了。最后看完本片我相信大家都会有同样的感慨吧，来人呐赶紧把霆锋的厨具都打包收起来，别整十二道锋味了，赶紧出来多演戏吧，敖哥这个反派角色太有魅力了，无论是文戏还是武戏都是影帝级输出的，这角色绝对能在反派影史里留名的。
法庭上甄子丹的证词看得我火冒三丈，问他有没有看到死者拘捕失足摔死，他说他到的时候已经太晚了。问他有没有看到谢霆锋他们殴打死者，又说看到了。你MD看到谢霆锋他们打人，就说明人还没死啊。整件事情就是他惹出来的！
7-高仿影分身。影片几乎与《新警察故事》拥有相同的模具，两大男主则分别对标了成龙、吴彦祖。说不上不好，也说不上敷衍，但绝对是缺少风格的复刻之作，甚至说炒冷饭也不为过。自与赵文卓的口水风波之后，甄子丹越来越正，罕见其失误的一面；谢霆锋的帅也更多停留在表面，个人内质与角色内质未能有效协同。所以说无论是影片还是两大角色，都被天花板盖住了表现力的码表，可天花板一定是不好的么？未见。前面有经典作品、经典演员铺路，作为支点也好锚定也好张力也好，新作新人理应有所破有所立，缘何未破未立，恐怕是高于本片之一时娱乐性的话题。说一个细节，抛砖引玉，谢霆锋在沙发上转头，若改为先完整后伤疤，或许对角色的性格建构更加有效。
