The rather oddly titled The Pig, The Snake and the Pigeon, is advertised as a black crime comedy but its more than a little hard, to swallow that label.

This is essentially an extremely violent revenge crime thriller. Revenge, in this context, finds its motivation, in the perverse pursuit of notoriety, by a main character, who wants to become the first (as opposed to the third), most wanted fugitive, in Taiwan.

Counter balancing this gruesome gangster tale is a "be careful what you wish for" lesson. A lesson that underlines the ultimate harm and futility of crime. In so doing, this tale... llegiu la resta.
