THE SHADOW’S EDGE Ekes Out On Digital, 4K UHD And Blu-Ray For February UK Release
Larry Yang’s new cybercrime thriller, The Shadow’s Edge, is coming to Digital, Blu-Ray and 4K/Blu-Ray combo pack on February 16 in the UK from Trinity CineAsia. The official trailer is up as well following its announcement last week, along with pre-orders currently inbound via Amazon.
This film was certainly one of the few better Chan films late. I said as much in my review as well as Joe Hallett who gets the pullquote treatment you can view in the footage and gallery below. Take a look!
Synopsis:
Get ready for the latest critically acclaimed hit from action cinema icon Jackie Chan (Police Story, Rush Hour, Karate Kid: Legends) as he takes on a notorious criminal gang, unlike anything he’s faced before.
When a cyber-criminal gang disappears with billions, evading capture by outsmarting the Police’s formidable “Sky Eye” surveillance system, they desperately enlist the help of a legend. Wong Tak-Chung (Jackie Chan), a retired tracking expert, mentors rookie officer He Qiuguo (Zhang Zifeng, Aftershock, Upcoming) and rebuilds an elite surveillance unit. Their mission: to track down the elusive “Wolf King,” Fu Longsheng (Leung Ka Fai Tony, Election, Cold War), the mastermind behind the heist. As the police close in, the thieves spring a trap of their own. Brains clash, loyalties are tested, and the ultimate cat-and-mouse game is about to begin…
From award-winning writer-director Larry Yang (Ride On, Mountain Cry), Jackie Chan and Leung Ka Fai Tony reunite for the first time in twenty years, following their collaboration on The Myth. Now, the 71-year-old Chan plays a retired police officer, a role that continues his long-standing portrayal of law enforcement figures on screen. The Shadow’s Edge references elements of his Police Story character while offering a contemporary take on the “veteran cop” archetype.
Leung Ka Fai Tony has dominated the screen throughout his varied career. Never repeating the same role twice, he was inspired to step back into portraying a villain in this updated, modernised take on Eye in the Sky. At 67, the four-time Hong Kong Film Awards’ Best Actor winner, who has largely focused on arthouse films, achieves a new breakthrough with this highly demanding role, showing both the psychology and physicality of this elite criminal.
Trinity CineAsia presents The Shadow’s Edge on Digital platforms 2nd February and on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray from 16th February
