Biggest Swing

From the emotional backstory lull (6.2) to the spectacular orphanage explosion sequence (8.8), representing a 2.6-point jump

The Shadow's Edge delivers strong action sequences and Jackie Chan's trademark charm, but suffers from pacing issues due to its excessive length. While the explosive set pieces and martial arts choreography consistently impressed reviewers, the overly complex plot and drawn-out character development created uneven momentum throughout the 142-minute runtime.
