A lip-smacking treat for martial arts fans.

It’s Chan’s fisticuff scenes that make this watchable, with quite a bit to savour in a film that’s never more than 10 minutes from a fight or a shootout. Unfortunately, the connective narrative tissue is a bore.

3/5

Writer/director Larry Yang's script only lags a little when attempts are made to give the bad guys backstories. But when it needs to build tension - such as during a long, awkward elevator ride - it's superb.

5/5

The Shadow’s Edge is one of the best action films of the year and it can’t be recommended highly enough – a pleasant surprise, to say the least.

4/5

Writer-director Larry Yang fills the screen with complex characters and outrageously whizzy fight scenes while cranking up the plot to an epic scale.

3/5

In Yang's most ambitious feature to date, The Shadow's Edge is an uneven yet thrilling action film, with Chan and Leung on top form, while the stunt work will entertain audiences.

Full of great action and intense moments, The Shadow's Edge is an entertaining action thriller and Jackie Chan's best movie since The Foreigner (2017). Make sure to stay for the end credits!

I'll watch anything with Jackie Chan in it. But this movie had everything a good Chinese action movie should have. I love seeing the younger generations of martial arts action actors alongside the men who made martial arts movies what they are today. This one was a bit brutal for J.C. film, but glad to see him continue to evolve and still kick some bad guy butt.

Jackie Chan is back! and this time has delighted me with a solid performance by him, his nemesis (Tony Leung), and his whole crew. His not the king of action for nothing! Go catch this movie while you can!
