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".
虽然由黄政民来撑场面，确实可以和华仔的演技相媲美了，但是反派明显不够分量啊，王千源的演技真的是碾压级别的。
写实题材，后面发展得过于传奇。何况还用了黄政民本名，更不好过于天马行空，《解救吾先生》里刘德华可不叫刘德华。韩国改我们的也改失败了，不容易啊。
看到朴叔好惊喜！我家混混四人帮总是成双出现（前半段的节奏略微快但后面有很多转折也都抵消了，内讧的套路依然存在，港剧式的车战和打戏看着很解压，那种惊吓的效果你韩真的很会，我都不知道从椅子上弹了多少下，算是合格的！）
我怀疑这部电影像韩剧一样边写边拍。绑匪登场的一瞬间就极度引起了我的心里生理不适，这一点还挺成功的，以为不会开倍速的我还是开了，唉
你早点跟人家照相不就没事了。韩版改编的挺有意思，绑架的真的是黄政民本人，影片开头还给黄政民作了介绍，包括朴成雄都是出演的本人。韩国警察全是废物，最后还得影帝自己上阵。结尾还把这事又改编成电影了，心理阴影得多大啊！
虽然有硬伤
瞎改，改的乱七八糟，演员表演用力过度，情节夸张不合逻辑，失败。
《解救吾先生》纪实摄影的风格和寒冬的环境，透出十分浓厚的肃杀氛围。韩国转换成普通的类型化拍法并非不可取，但没有眼前一亮的新感觉。其次，表演上跟原作比那是全方位拉胯，黄政民证明了一件事：演自己是最难的。最后后半段剧情的原创让其终究成了一部平平无奇的电影。
黄叔演技是真的牛，但片子也真的太单薄，实在是达不到4星。新世界的梗遍地开花，太搞笑了🤣朴叔这么喜欢说hey brother，干嘛不干脆叫李小小来客串😂
翻拍的？黄政民vs刘德华的话，前者更能扛一些。
2021.10.05一个人在蓝湾看。欧巴在片头电梯里帅了几秒，后面就没了……小眼睛还真是离王千源差远了：前者看着就想抽脸，后者还真是有情有义有头脑的坏蛋哈哈哈…欧巴在，3星打底。ps. 36D怎么了呢？0.1星也跳不起来。
几个绑匪也是穷凶极恶的各有特点。
双雄变独角，飙戏变儿戏。黄政民若是拉上隔壁《鱿鱼游戏》三杰才会是一出好戏吧。
从中国的现实性群像戏，变成了个人英雄秀了，情况又不像是危情十日那样，让人觉得不寒而栗，能够拔升这部电影的方法，我有个主意让李政宰被绑架，黄政民演劫匪（他和王千源的表演风格很像），金允石或者崔岷植来演警察，效果绝对好很多
黄政民自己演自己，演的真像啊→_→沉醉着迷了
逃不过翻拍片魔咒，可以竞争老黄电影里最烂的一部
6.5/10.翻拍自2015年的《解救吾先生》，大框不变，细节差很多。韩版为了更接近真实事件，请了黄政民做主角，让他自己演自己，这一点很不错，黄政民可以对位刘德华的，但韩版反派则远远不如王千源，警察的角色也不行。
1分，周围所有角色都被无限弱化，智商捉急的反派，虚张声势的警察让黄政民的角色被无限放大，直至演变成黄政民的个人秀，结尾高潮是对演员的再次消费，让整部电影显得异常干瘪，抛开黄政民真的什么都不剩了，连所谓的爽片都达不到
改编自解救吾先生的话。。。原版的真实和冷冽全部毁了。
很一般，黄政民的演技也被拉低了，反派就单纯的恶，却没有那种让人着迷的感觉，总觉得像街上那些二愣子一般，恶得程度是让人觉得恶心想一巴掌拍死而后快。动作戏拉跨，这次韩国警察终于有一点点作用了，5分
