The Shadow's Edge (simplified Chinese: 捕风追影; traditional Chinese: 捕風追影) is a 2025 action thriller film directed and written by Larry Yang. A Chinese-Hong Kong co-production, the film is loosely adapted from the Hong Kong action thriller Eye in the Sky (2007) by Yau Nai-hoi.

The cast also includes Ci Sha and Wen Junhui. The film entered pre-production in 2023 and marks the second collaboration between Larry Yang and Jackie Chan after Ride On (2023). Principal photography began in October 2024, primarily in Macau, and wrapped in January 2025. Post-production continued until mid-2025, featuring a score composed by French musician Nicolas Errèra. The film had its world premiere at Emperor Cinemas, Taikoo Li Sanlitun, Beijing on 3 August 2025, followed by theatrical releases in China on 16 August and in Hong Kong on 11 September. It received generally positive reviews from critics and earned four nominations in the 44th Hong Kong Film Awards, with Tony Leung Ka-fai winning Best Actor.
