Shot in English and budgeted higher than any of his previous Asian features, Jackie Chan's last film under his Hong Kong contract is an action-packed globe-trotting adventure shot with the American audience in mind. The spies and secret agent-laden plot is packed with car chases, explosions, gunfire aplenty, and of course Jackie's own brand of gymnastic martial arts. But the flood of his older films between his hits Rumble in the Bronx and Rush Hour had sated American viewers and Who Am I? wound up being sold directly to cable. It's our loss, for this mix of goofy slapstick and jaw-dropping action is his most impressive film since Drunken Master II. Playing a special forces agent (named, naturally, Jackie) struck with amnesia and adopted by an African bush tribe following a failed assassination attempt, he embarks on a quest to discover his true identity while armies of killers pour after him. After an explosive opening, the story gets momentarily bogged down in the kind of mugging humor that leaves most American audiences scratching their heads, but once Jackie kicks into gear the film is a high-speed action flurry that culminates in a furious battle atop a Rotterdam skyscraper. Jackie is at his most charmingly naive (he berates the villains, pleading "Why do you want to destroy when you can make things better?") and athletically impressive: the marvelous stunts--including a flight down the side of the skyscraper--and fight choreography make Rush Hour look like a Sunday drive. --Sean Axmaker

Makes Rush Hour look like a game of candyland.

This film is amazing! Some of the stunts in here make you wonder is Jackie is even human. My favorite Jackie Chan film by far.




Pure Action And Entertainment.

I normally do not enjoy this gene. But this movie has the right combination of comedy and continuous action. It is not sophisticated. It is just great entertainment.



Display of amazing skills

As many reviewers have pointed out before me, the plot in this film is fairly thin. There are some good guys, some bad guys, some really bad guys, and then there is Jackie Chan, who've forgotten everything.

The action, however, is phaenomenal. Once again Chan is pushing the outside of the envelope with his death defying stunts and splendid martial arts choreography including everything you can think of. Even clogs. The final fight, as has been said before, is a thing you'll want to see again and again. It is amazing.

There are some really tell tale signs, that this is a JC movie (apart from the action stuff). There is the obvious humour, the rather sketchy caricatures of good/bad people, and the fact that although he is a commando/trained killer he is goodness himself. A thoroughly joyful film to watch this one.

Who am I? Someone who is gonna entertain you Breathless!

"Who am I?" is one of those films that considering story isn't very strong. With weakness on the storyvalue, a question comes up: does it matter? A simple anwser: no.

"Who am I?" is an absolute thrillride from beginning to end starring actiongod Jackie Chan. With breathtaking action Chan fights his way from the deserts of Africa to the urban rooftops of the Dutch city Rotterdam.
Directed together with Benny Chan, Jackie shows that he is still one of the main people to turn to when looking for fantastic actioncinema.

Chan plays a commando who loses his memory during a tragic event and goes looking for his identity, being chased by a lot of bad guys who want him dead. But Chan isn't so easy to catch and kill...
This is the story, and that is all you really have to know. Cause the acting isn't topnotch, but with such great action, who cares?

So sit back and let Chan the man entertain you breathless with his fast fightingskills and his great comedy. Recommended to martial arts and to action fans, and of course to Jackie Chan fans. Cause if you are a Chan fan and you haven't seen this one yet, then you better start asking yourself: "Who am I? Am I really a Jackie Chan fan?"
