The Shadow's Edge (4 Stars)


This is the ninth film in the Stuttgart Weird Weekender Festival.

"The Shadow's Edge" is a high tech crime thriller. A gang breaks into a bank, but they don't steal any money. It's just a diversion to hide their real aim, stealing a notebook which contains a businessman's access codes for his crypto currency account. I admit that I was confused in the early scenes. I couln't understand what the gang was doing. It all happened too fast. What I did understand is that the gang's leader is a man known only as the Shadow. He's led many operations over the years, but his identity is still unknown.

The police call Wong Tak-chung (Jackie Chan) out of retirement, the only officer that they consider able to track down the Shadow. Wong and the Shadow respect one another, playing a high stakes cat and mouse game.
