The Rescue, one of the most expensive Chinese movies ever made, centers around a rescue unit within the Chinese Coast Guard who are forced to overcome their personal differences to resolve a crisis.

Eddie said it was both thrilling and nerve-wracking to join the cast of director Dante Lam's mega-budget blockbuster.  

'The pressure was probably more self-inflicted. Having worked with director Dante Lam before, I know how high his expectations can be,' he said.

The hunky actor also said the cast spent two months training for the extreme first-responder rescue exercises and did various simulation exercises involving water, fire and altitude.
