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.

OPERATION RED SEA (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 紅海行動 （電影原聲帶 ） Director Dante Lam   林超 贤 Original Music by Elliot Leung 梁皓 一   Plaza Mayor Company Ltd Operation Red Sea ( Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) on Itunes   It is an incredible honor to compose the score of "Operation Red Sea." Throughout the process, I was able to work very closely with Director Dante Lam. Combined with his fresh perspectives and the state-of-the-art visuals, I was able to draw forth my best creative juices to enhance the cinematic experience. The beginning of my composing thought sequences always began with how the team of 8 special forces members worked together, putting their own egos aside to accomplish the same goal. While both action and plot were stunning, this film was more about the being intrinsically human and the fulfilment of one's calling to me. Easy to say, I wholeheartedly loved every minute of working with Director Lam. See you guys in the cinema...
