The Shadow's Edge

Indeed this is the best Jackie Chan movie of the decade. There's parkour, elevator hand-to-hand, parachute, espionage, terrorism, 1v1, 1v2, 1v50, AI, hacking, tailing, anti-tailing and so much more riveting action sequences that simply doesn't seem to end. Jackie Chan and Tony Leung, two of Hong Kong's finest actors with a combined age of 138, are the absolute highlights of the film. The former agelessly humorous, masterful, and unwavering against evil; the latter charismatically menacing, conflicted, and a real beast when it comes to dagger play and family betrayal. Younger performers are also commendable whether Zhang Zifeng or Ci Sha, who all seem heavily trained for their stunts and convincing emotionally. For the down sides, I can bet that 90% of this movie's budget went to actors and action scenes because everything else was truly average - soundtrack, special effects, editing. It's almost giving a really good Internet-created action series. But still, The Shadow's Edge was an entertaining watch that took me back to Jackie Chan's time of prime action genre.

I wasn't expecting much despite it's starring Jackie Chan, since cast is not everything. Especially since in the beginning there are generic flash of computer codes (hacking in movies always like that, innit?)

Then it's just straight-out amazing action scenes. Sound designs are perfect and the music tracks really add to the adrenaline. Plot is pretty complex but it's shown in a clear way.

This movie also gives depth to both the main chars and villains, so it's even more interesting to analyze why did they do this or why did they do that.

The downside is probably some humanly unrealistic stunts, but it's to prove a point or enhancing an already powerful scene, so it's excusable. Actions are great when it's exciting.

The movie settings and cast are pleasant to look in the eyes too. Would definitely recommend this as a good action movie with an excellent breakdown on Technology usage to help society and the things only humans can do.

After watching many movies this year, by far this is the only movie that has actually left me amazed and entertained. The storyline of the movie flows so well and the action is top-notch, its amazing how jackie chan can still fight, compared to the other movies that has been released in the theaters this is for me in another level, this movie actually has a heart, emotions. Theres a balance of sadness, humour, thrill and action. There are some parts of the story which still needs some tweaking some parts still does not quite make sense but overall its so good compared to the movies released this year in the theaters espescially in the action/thriller category. Most of them just doesnt create this feeling of connection, it feels like theres no heart in the movie. It doesnt have that balance of humour, sadness, thrill and action which this movie shows. This movie also have a combination and adaptation to our age like the use of AI and Technology but it's not used in an overwhelming way. I can say that this is the best movie by far this year.

When a group of thieves vanishes into thin air after pulling off a heist. The police have no choice but to call in a retired officer to help them track down the culprits.

This is a classic action-packed Jackie Chan flick. The story has a lot of themes, from cryptocurrency to technology and AI assisting police in surveillance. Unfortunately, the story has too many elements, resulting in a longer-than-necessary runtime and even a few plot holes. The action and stunts are classic Jackie Chan, and his fans will enjoy seeing him still in action. The two-hour and twenty-one-minute runtime is excessive, with many segways and digressions in the story. An excellent stream for Jackie and kung fu fans.

Its really good! Its full with action scenes. The storyline is really good and there's some of funny part too, All of Shadow's subordinate is handsome, there's a big plot twist at the last scene and the ending like there's gonna be for the second one. I hope they're doing second one soon. Hu Feng is really handsome. All of the character is have a good acting skill and the part Shadow team run from the police and disguise its really cool!!
