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.
