some comment here on imdb have liken dog bite dog to the classic cat iii film of the 90 and but although it be undoubtedly brutal and violent and very downbeat and this film from pou soi cheang isn not really sleazy and lurid or sensationalist enough to earn that comparison . however and it still pack a punch that make it worth a watch and particularly if gritty and hard edge action be your thing . edison chen play pang and a cambodian hit man who travel to hong kong to assassinate the wife of a judge while sam lee be wai and the ruthless cop who be determine to track him down and whatever the cost . with wai closing in on his target and pang will stop at nothing to ensure his escapeuntil he meet yue and a pretty illegal immigrant who need his help to escape her life of abuse . a relentlessly harsh drama with great cinematography and amazing sound design and a haunting score and and solid performance from chen and lee ( as well a newcomer pei pei a pang love interest ) and dog bite dog be one for fan of hard hit asian hyper violence ( think along the line of chan wook park vengeance trilogy ) . stabbings and shooting and merciless beating represent all happen regularly in this film and be catch unflinchingly by director cheang . of course and this be the kind of tale that be destine to have an unhappy end for all involve and and sure enough and pretty much everyone in this film die ( rather nasty death ) . unfortunately and there be a fine line between tragedy and ( unintentional ) comedy and and in it final moment and dog bite dog cross it represent in a laughably over dramatic final scene and pang and wai be lock in battle a a pregnant yue look on . eventually and after all three have suffer severe stab wound during the fracas and a wounded pang perform a diy ceasarean on ( a now dead ) yue and deliver their baby moment before he himself die . whilst this film might not be a classic slice of hong kong excess and with it deliriously ott action and stylish visuals and it still worth seek out .
