The wanted criminal Chen Guilin (Ethan Juan) is about to die, but finds that he is only ranked third on the wanted list. He is determined to find out the whereabouts of the top two wanted criminals and eliminate them one by one.Chen Guilin thought that he had become the contemporary The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon, but he did not expect that greed, anger, and ignorance that could never be understood were the crimes and punishments that he would eventually face in life.

The allusions to “The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon” cited in the film can be found in - Jin Shu·Zhou Chu Zhuan - and - Shi Shuo Xin Yu -.According to records, the young man Zhou Chu was tall and powerful, but he ran rampant in the countryside and was disliked by his neighbors.Later Zhou Chu killed the evil tiger and dragon by himself, and he himself turned back as a prodigal and corrected his evil ways, thus eliminating all three evils.

Last year, domestic crime and suspense films gathered together, and there were market hits like "Man Jiang Hong" - "She Disappeared" - "Desperate", and - "Rescuing the Suspect" - Crossing the Angry Sea 《-The Three Brigades》are among the box-office leaders in the off-season, and there are also "The Mistake on the River"《One and Four》and other literary and artistic film explorations.

"Rage" starring Ethan Ruan is also a film directed by a mainland director, but its temperament is very similar to a Hong Kong crime action film.Unlike many crime-themed films released before, "The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon" does not have a strong sense of commercial genre, does not have many lines, focuses on visual language, and has a literary tone.
