kingdaviduk I saw this film on TV recently, not having heard of it before. It started off quite slowly and was not that interesting. But being a fan of Jackie Chan, I decided to persist with it as I knew it would get better.The bad points: near the start of the film, there is a scene where soldiers are disembarking from a truck, and you can see one of them put his foot on the head of another by mistake. Then a bit later there is a scene with some top brass officials having a meeting. The acting in that scene is some of the worst I have ever seen. Absolutely awful, worst part of the whole film. Throughout the film we do not know who the man is, and he is known as "Who Am I", except in one scene when the officials who are looking for him actually refer to him as Jackie Chan. I am not sure if this was a slip-up or the character was meant to be called Jackie Chan, although no other reference to his name is made.Good points: after he meets the rally driver whose brother gets poisoned and he heals the man, from then on it gets interesting. Some good car chases, fight scenes and 2 cute Chinese women. The scenes in Holland are good too, some interesting architecture. Overall I think the plot is a good one, but the lost in Africa and being part of the tribe seems to have not been explored enough, and nor did he return to the tribe despite promising to return something to a boy. And the whole bit where is with the tribe could have been written a lot better.I liked the film, it was a decent enough film and a pleasant few hours of watching TV. But not a film that would win any awards.
jdawg77 No doubt that this is my favorite Jackie Chan movie. Great Plot, decent acting, great fight scenes ( the roof scene was no doubt amazing)You gotta love this movie. The Plot is about an operative who has lost his memory and now has people after him. This film as beautiful scenery, and Chan does an excellent job making his character believable. This is a must see for all fans!There is some continuity with the lancer, but that cars nice anyway one scene its damaged and the other scene its completely new. But if you can overlook little things like that, you can really enjoy this movie. Jackie Chan is funny in this movie and this is a must see for all fans.
steven_van_andel It's really a fun movie, but don't expect a good story. Its pure and simple Jackie Chan action. Lots of fighting, not much story and always action! In this movie Jackie Chan loses his memory in a helicopter crash. The organization responsible for the crash wants him death, in case he remembers certain things... So Jackie tries to fiend out who's trying to kill him. This search brings him all around the world, too Rotterdam! There the action really begins!The most fun about this movie is that its shot in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which happens to be my home land! But you have to consider, if the best I can say about a movie is the place it has been shot, maybe its not such a great movie. But he...Who cares, its fun isn't it? And thats what matters.
john King Jackie Chan "Who Am I?" "Who Am I?", the, 'pour hot water on it and you have the epitome of existential action-chase thrillers', is a tour de force for Jackie Chan as writer, director, and actor of live Anime, and displays, nay flaunts, Chan's genius as the Baryshnikov of stunts, clown-prince of farce, and cunning Odysseus of the dire situation.Chan, a master emeritus of automotive mayhem who lives life as a chase scene, creates solutions to complex and even impossible physical circumstance in unfolding the eternally evolving cliff-hanger. He is so clearly a genius at integrating the improbable into the story, that the film becomes a vehicle in which satire characterized by dialogue that mocks the situation, has Chan, playing a flawed, kind of stupid, but certainly lovable Huck Finn of the Pan Asian world, a plucky hero in the losing quest for the elusive grail of justice and fair playOur hero is an island of bewildered calm in a chaotic sea of dangerously frenetic characters, united in their evil resolve to eliminate him – and as the chase ebbs and flows, his issue remains, "Who am I?", as he remains ever true to the existential inquiry that the film poses while continually re-proving that he is both, tough AND resourceful, albeit, at bottom, everyman as an impossible klutz, often verging on dorkiness.His plastic face simultaneously registers every nuance of fear, fright, chagrin, uncertainty, as he careens from environ to environ, from the jungles and deserts of South Africa to the boulevards and canals of Amsterdam, to be chased in wooden clogs through a brilliantly colorful impromptu street festival. From morning to late, late at night, the relentless chase ensues while the hopelessly effervescent Jackie plays an ever diminishing game of catch up with a sub rosa world of bad guys who live a parallel existence of high tech criminal activity, doing what bad guys have always done – pool resources to rule the world, and exterminate the rest of us. Run, Jackie! So, not a lot of people know this, but, really outrageous stuff is going on right under the very noses of the hoi-polloi and bourgeoisie – and THAT is the state of consciousness that Chan's character is awakening to. Jackie, look behind you!His directing of action is impeccable, if there is any weakness in his formidable arsenal of tools, perhaps it may be found in the level of line reading by the so-called actors who support Chan, which, being generous, can only be contrasted with that level of acting approached by startled porn stars who find themselves in a film where they are cooperating to carry a story line, and find, to their chagrin, that their scene is expected to move the greater story forward while we thought it was only about sex. Good porn is about the ACTING. And so is a good Jackie Chan movie.In his movie making vision, over and over again, in scene after scene, Chan reveals that he is a Marxist of the Groucho variety. And, after the summum momentum mano a mano martial arts scene in which Chan's brilliance as choreographer dominates, his character has his epiphany and fully arcs to Jackie becoming the chaser, no longer absorbed in his question, "Who am I?", but rather, is now lost in a greater cause, to save the world, recapture the MacGuffin, and speak his everyman's philosophy to only use your powers for good, not evil. And with that, he makes the gesture that resolves the emptiness and meaninglessness of any interpretation of his drama, and flies off in the setting sun of the last true hero. And then... The cherry on the top of the meringue on top of the shards of titanium sundae that is the life of the live Manga-boy of action adventure; outtakes, which provide background the end title credits. My favorite moment is Jackie teaching 'native' African children the Macarena. This man is COMMITTED to your entertainment, and I, for one, say thank you, Jackie Chan.
