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".
为啥警察永远要做傻冒？受伤小警察和他的黑人搭档，从头到尾都在添乱。红马甲头头吊儿郎当的，一门心思在他的大恶犬身上，也是活该挨枪子儿。
镜头挺有特点，剧情也是一目了然，既然能引进，那结局就注定了。属于能看一遍但肯定不想再看那种类型。最近电影院里实在没有能看的，这部就算可以了。
这不比速度与激情好看?
一个月没出门两个月没进电影院了，五一找个现在外面正在上映的电影看就当过节了唉。豆瓣这分数有点离谱，现在引进的美国电影本来就越来越少，再往低里打分以后真的只能看国产片了_(:з」∠)_就是非常标准的好莱坞式爆米花片，开头的铺垫（有丢丢穿越去迫在眉梢）有点长导致整部片子的时长就被拉长了，而且镜头太晃看得好晕，上了救护车之后舒服很多而且看得很爽，黑白双煞+美女把警察耍的团团转hhh当然救护车上做手术这段确实太扯orz最后的结局还是蛮满意的，一扫之前压抑的气氛，满满正能量，多么感人的社会主义兄弟情（不是）。Jake男神真的太帅了！PS最后片名Ambulance里套LA让我明白了故事为什么要发生在LA（不是）。
crime makes me exciting, PS: that's a very expensive car chase
几个小彩蛋挺有意思，不断的提及自己的经典作品是怕大家不认识他，还是怕大家忘了他啊
结尾的情节太像港片了，编剧就是一坨屎，但导演实现得很有观感，从头打到尾的爽片。
Typical Michael Bay,Hard as F***，比盖里奇人之怒硬多了。迈克尔·贝确实知道怎么拍爽片，更知道怎么用慢镜头拍爽片。但是爽完就没有然后了，而且不会有再爽一次的想法。而且有两个小问题1.穿梭机镜头很酷炫，但是用多了确实让人想吐。2.每场追车戏发生爆炸我都会产生那辆车要变形的错觉……
迈克尔贝真喜欢用拉丁女主。220508//
一场硬核的劫车潜逃冒险，全程高燃，音效炸裂，速度与激情直呼内行。镜头运用如威尔的车技一般秀到飞起，上天入地，抖动旋转，穿梭于城市森林中和盘旋的高速公路网中。对于3D眩晕的人来说，估计晕眩感十足。爆炸贝在炫技同时，也植入了不少嘴炮幽默元素，兄弟俩不是冷血的“罪犯”，而是保留人性底线的两个迷途之人，或许早已成为了警察眼中的亡命之徒，但他们早已将他们的灵魂救赎。
剧情老套，部分剪辑衔接不上，纯无脑爆米花电影，卖拷贝有失水准
最大槽点还是老吉折腾这么多，在亲情和金钱间挣扎，最后选择不要钱要兄弟，然后就被兄弟..
jake gyllenhaal 可以停止自暴自棄了嗎 一直贊助paul dano拍電影不好嗎（嗚
被时代抛弃的过去的大导演想要采取各种新的技术重现当年爆炸的自己，于是他选择了一个相对好拍的题材，全篇填满运动的、各种角度的镜头想要重现曾经的辉煌，甚至通过人物对话讲出自己的代表作来铭记。最后的效果却通篇让人疲惫不堪的追车戏，迈克尔贝通过所谓的新技术更完全得展示了自己调度能力的薄弱，更别说冲水的文戏和糟糕的人物塑造，迈克尔贝还是当投资人吧
看完要开车又赶时间，极带感，这是麦拷贝电影的实效，即便剪辑和控镜真是没啥。想着都奇怪，最后几分钟四平八稳的剧情交待让人无语，完全不及格。
典型的好莱坞式，真不怎么样！改编自2005丹麦版同名电影。不如原版，更不值电影票钱。
另外那个汉密尔顿的那个梗可真是太好笑了😆中段的那个30公里时速史上最慢警匪追逐战在紧张刺激的氛围中也莫名戳中笑点，操西班牙语老爹的狠角色加入让这场看似和平的追逐战一下子升级成了流血战争，最后的兄弟情和超越罪犯与人质关系生命至上和微妙感情的升华则将情绪推向了高潮～
SOS 好莱坞电影已经政治正确到这个地步了吗？吉伦哈尔真的很适合这种psycho的角色 我什么时候才能再在电影院看到他啊！
这两年看了太多的烂片，这部算是各方面都在线的好莱坞片了。动作，特技都在线，情节简单，演绎了好莱坞版本的盗亦有道，有小瑕疵但是瑕不掩瑜，全程无尿点。
The Rock那个桥段有点意思。典型的迈克尔贝的镜头，大逆光大特写大仰拍。对女性的审美也没什么变化。片子里的世界观还没建好就塌了，很多意图都矫枉过正了。有这些钱砸在不知所云的car chasing上，不如拿去做慈善。
