> A classically styled Hong Kong action flick, outfitted with numerous extras.
Take the recent Hong Kong classic Infernal Affairs (the source for Martin Scorsese’s The Departed) and remove the backstory, the nuanced characters and the clever plot twists and you have this ultra-violent cop-hunts-crook thriller. The crook here is a Cambodian hit man (Edison Chen), and the cop (Sam Lee) has both anger issues and a policeman father on the take. Aside from that, Dog Bite Dog is a straightforward, well-paced and choreographed kick-ass action flick.
Shelf Talk: Asian action films have a solid following, and the folks at Weinstein-distributor Genius have given this film the two-disc special edition treatment. Under the “Dragon Dynasty” banner, Dog Bite Dog features a commentary track, an hour-long making-of doc and not one but four interview featurettes.
