A quality directing stint – finally! – for Hong Kong veteran Huang Mingsheng 黄明升, Man on the Edge 边缘行者 is a triad action-drama that starts out like a generic stoolie story but rises above the norm thanks to some fine performances from a cast led by veterans Ren Xianqi 任贤齐 [Richie Ren] and Ren Dahua 任达华 [Simon Yam] and a script that defies usual expectations. Set three years prior to the territory’s 1997 handover to China, the Mainland-funded feature is partly another yarn about how rotten the former administration of the territory was; but at a dramatic level it’s more about the death of traditional triad codes and loyalties than a straight gang-busting shoot-’em-up. The April release has taken a polite RMB165 million in the Mainland (actually not so bad in the middle of zero-Covid restrictions) but has yet to open in Hong Kong, where cinemas have been closed for most of the year.


This film was a pleasure to score because of the diversity of styles of music, which consisted of everything from Celtic to dreamy New Age to Flamenco to Buddhist chants.

At the same time, it was challenging trying to keep the music within a unifying “sinister” tone.

And it was a pleasure recording Gaayatri Kaundinya’s beautiful voice, as well as the Irish whistle and bagpipes performed by the wonderful Eric Rigler.
