A return to form Jackie Chan and a scene-stealing Tony Leung Ka-Fai lead Larry Yang's gritty action thriller.
Jackie Chan's full of awesomeness! Non-stop riveting action with new kids' showing off their karate moves & a woman power your shy lady (who's dad passed away).

"The Shadows Edge" is yet another Hong Kong action thriller starring the actor named number one with movie fans in the region, Jackie Chan. This film is good but its by no means great.

Actions plentiful, with Chan's trademark, creative flair, using the environment and everyday items, as devices for martial arts action. This is topped off with, at times, intense gun play and spectacular explosions. Taken together, these aspects, of this cinematic experience, represent an engaging romp. The noticeable downside is this film is overly long. The result is the story, at times, becomes difficult to follow and the characterisations, can feel either drawn out or a bit overlooked. In …
