Beast Stalker (Chinese: 證人) is a 2008 Hong Kong action thriller film written, produced and directed by Dante Lam, and starring Nicholas Tse, Nick Cheung, Zhang Jingchu and Liu Kai-chi.

Plot

A traffic accident changed their lives forever.

In capturing wanted criminal Zhang Yidong, Sergeant Tong Fei (Nicholas Tse) was involved in a gunfight and car accident that put the criminal in a coma. But in the process he also crippled a fellow officer, and mistakenly shot dead the elder daughter of public prosecutor and single mother Ann Gao (Zhang Jingchu). Not able to handle the guilt, Tong Fei succumbs to a fog of pain. Ann Gao, meanwhile, pours all her love and attention to her younger daughter Ling.

Three months later, the criminal Zhang Yidong awakens from his coma. Ann Gao, who had been working hard on bringing him to justice, insists he stand trial immediately.
