Review: Jackie Is Back With Action Fueled THE SHADOW’S EDGE
For many years we have received a mixed bag of Jackie Chan films often missing the mark when it comes to the fight action that his fans crave. In recent outings the over use of CGI and latest technology in his films hasn’t satisfied the audience’s pallet however in his latest feature “The Shadow’s Edge” Jackie has delivered on every level. POSTER COURTESY OF TRINITY CINEASIA The premise of the story is keeping up with modern times where all our lives and security are beholden to technology. A group of very talented and very agile criminals give the police the run around when they steal a large sum of crypto currency right from under their noses. They have exhausted all avenues trying to catch the criminals with no luck, time to employ a new tactic sourcing the help of former detective Wong Tak Chung (Jackie Chan). Time to go old […]

Streaming Sleepers: Sam Firstenburg’s AMERICAN SAMURAI Revamps A Niche Classic
Sam Firstenberg’s 1992 action thriller, American Samurai was another one of those commercial TV finds for me growing up. The film stars David Bradley in the role of Drew, a journalist whose investigation into a drug-smuggling lands him in the crosshairs of a criminal organization, and its deadly fighting tournament where he’ll be forced to square off with long lost stepbrother-turned-yakuza, Kenjiro, played by Mark Dacascos. Firstenberg comes from a crop of filmmakers who laid the groundwork for a raft of hit titles out of the Cannon label in the 1980s and onward. American Samurai was no different, save for more persnickety critics who lambasted the film, and even the director who spent a year in recent history collaborating with filmmaker Lyle Goodwin to retouch and refurbish his tourno martial arts adventure into something more closer to his vision than that of what he deemed was studio interference. The new […]
