Reviewer notes
Recommended"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. Chan is a cop called back from retirement, when modern policing techniques conspicuously fail to catch, an ageing criminal, an expert in counter surveillance and his talented team of young cyber thieves.…
RecommendedRight from the outset, this doesn’t hang about as a near perfectly executed crypto robbery is carried out by a gang of young men in Macau.…
RecommendedJackie 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 story's full of suspense, you need to pay attention to the fast karate, the 'secret' evil guy; sooo sad also. I'm so happy to see Jackie & all the new kids in the block! Congrats to all the team of this movie!…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersA return to form Jackie Chan and a scene-stealing Tony Leung Ka-Fai lead Larry Yang's gritty action thriller.
