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".
最后一幕看的我也想蓄胡了
“这里要出现五个反转”
一定是影帝级别的演员，才能撑起这样的片子。
从原版的警方穷追不舍终破案到黄大神的独力自救其实是很合理的韩国本土化改编，唯一继承了原版的就是真实明星被绑架这个概念，然而黄政民所扮演的黄政民仍旧是一个架空的角色，所以自己演自己也就失去了实际的意义，再加上整个文本又陷入了绑匪内讧自残的闹剧窠臼，反派比起王千源差的又太远，所以尽管黄政民演的十分卖力，仍旧无法拯救全篇的平庸和无趣
又看到了鱿鱼游戏里的小姑娘，怎么还是这么惨？！
why黄政民要来拍这种电影。绑架头头感觉像个变态杀人狂，一点也不像为了钱绑架人的
🆘且看黄政民被绑架之后如何自救及救人，我懂翻拍要结合本土实际情况但是绑匪除了疯批没啥可挖掘的啊，不如找别人演被绑架，黄政民演绑匪，这样更好吧。但黄政民还是演的很好，最后是两分钟牛的要命，冲最后两分钟可以给两星。
确实差强人意 都根本不用对比 原版张华贡献了非常好的演技以及氛围 正面警察也有很多演技 H版除了新星有点亮点 其他都挺平 尤其反派头子更是差 节奏感 氛围都很差 正面也没有一个能有记忆点的 全靠自己反杀（主要也就是看黄政民了 但黄政民在片子的表现也一般 导演水平很有限）
首先这电影就没丁晟那版的好；其次想说一下，如果韩国的公仆真像电影里那样，真是没指望了，别指望他们能保护人了，太垃圾了也！
韩国版《解救吾先生》，黄政民原名出演，剧情情节做了部分修改！棒子国的警察办案与实战能力真是有待提高，女绑匪C罩杯，神经质的老大爷，人质自救暴力抵抗绑匪，勇敢无畏！“吴若甫事件”中主犯带的自制手雷，终于在棒子国街头炸响！哦西把！
翻拍能力一般，韩国人已经完全不相信社会警察和体制了。
故事倒也平平无奇，黄sir演了这么多打戏，很能打挺正常的吧。就是绑匪的嚣张跋扈显得太无理，内部破裂的太快，不像是干了这么多起案件的团队应该有的。其他的也没啥说的，黄sir在模仿自己的比赛中没有拿到头奖，就离谱。可看可不看吧。
韩国翻拍内地犯罪电影，我很开心；但是改编的这么差，我不喜欢。
黄政民被导演绑架拍的这部片子。比原版稍好的地方是加进来的几个女性角色，但原版偏现实主义的犯罪风格全被韩国典型商业片花里胡哨那一套给取代了，太吵了，即使不考虑原版，也是不及格的商业片。
3星的，不过黄政民片尾，泥地手勒仇人，沾地气又过瘾，4星。天朝这部沾地气的，就是女子房子票子，最后还真是栽在女人上，韩国就不走寻常路了，变态pua加迷之自信，自首，这是他们那边的沾地气所以改成这样，可信度更高吗？
把原来一部斗智斗勇的警匪片，生生改成了血糊糊惨兮兮警匪死了一箩筐的动作片。
这些绑匪都是弱智么？如果不是黄政民我早弃了。
每一个演员都声嘶力竭的非常用力，演的也很辛苦很不容易。但是真的不好看。全程男主一人carry全场，每次被打爆到残血然后马上满血复活继续再战。胜利不靠警察，全靠男主自救➕绑匪内讧。仔细想，每一个绑匪都是内讧死的。除了女绑匪是被绑女的误杀的 。刘德华的版本里面，刘德华的线最弱，这样才合理，被绑架的人能发挥空间非常有限。大量的戏都在王千源，人物丰满，有老妈有情人，吃饺子，看情人，跟妈妈告别全是张力。本片绑匪就是全员恶人全员扁平。只要很恶就够了。被绑架女孩也极度没有存在感。这个角色没有必要存在，删了也没什么影响。包括女绑匪也不影响什么主线。警察更是弱鸡到爆炸。全被绑匪耍到底裤都没了炸死一堆，结尾出来收拾一下残局。最亮眼是最结尾。黄正民看到男演员的那里，瞬间ptsd然后转回正常。这个是好看的地方
没有原版拍得好 独居老人那段太鸡肋 另 和黄政民一起被绑架的玩过鱿鱼游戏的妹子李瑜美为啥没有名字
咱们那版，王千源是神；韩国这版，黄政民是神。
