Dog Bite Dog, 2006 - ★★★

You can also find this review on Letterboxd

I love Asian cinema. There is something about them that's different, probably because of the culture. It just gives it a wholly different feel.

This movie is about a killer on the run from cops. There are many twists and turns that I don't wanna get into, so I'll leave it by that.

The two main characters are both neither good nor bad, they both start off as assholes but more and more you start to get them, because you hear their backstory and because you see their actions.

That said, the acting was kinda weird. Especially the main cop had that kind of acting that you usually see in the worst movies and parodies. He is the "bad cop", the asshole, and on the brink of being fired.
That character can be good, but in this movie he reminded me of Hawkey from Karate Cops from 1988, which kinda threw me off.

The rest of the acting was pretty good.

All in all the story was a bit weird and full of twists and turns, sometimes those not needed. But I liked it and enjoyed watching it. Not the best movie from Hong Kong, but totally watchable.
I'm rating it 3 out of 5 stars.
