Jackie Chan's latest work "THE SHADOW'S EDGE" has been decided to be released in Japan under the title "シャドウズ・エッジ" in December. It was released in China on August 16 and recorded the number one box office ranking. Many viewers have called it "the best action movie in the last ten years," and this big hit is already landing in Japan. The setting is Macau. Behind the glamorous city, an unidentified cybercrime organization is secretly active. The police are helpless, and the last trump card called back is the former police officer Huang Dezhong (Jackie Chan), who was once called a "legend." Although he has already retired, he teams up with young elites and uses the latest technology and surveillance techniques to chase the shadows of the crime organization. Starring is the legendary action movie star Jackie Chan, who has just arrived in Japan for the release of "The Karate Kid: Legends." In this film, he plays an expert tracker from the former Macau police, challenging the cybercrime organization alongside a young detective team. The leader of the crime organization is played by Leon Lai from "Lover / Laman," marking a reunion with Jackie after about 20 years since "THE MYTH." Among the core members of the crime group is Jun from the globally popular SEVENTEEN, who takes on his first villain role and showcases stunning action. Other young Chinese stars include Zhang Zifeng from "Sister: Summer's Farewell" and Tu Sha from "The Shadow of the Mountains and Rivers." The director is Larry Yang, who has teamed up with Jackie again following "Ride On." Anticipation is high for this action blockbuster depicting the tense battle between the notorious cybercrime organization and the police.
