Jackie Chan's Who Am I? Cusomter reviews:
Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 124
(Mantis Lake, 2009-04-23) Probably the last of Chan's great movies, at least in terms of fights and stunts. Certainly not in plot: A highly skilled soldier with amnesia? Chan traveling with two female companions? Hmm... haven't seen either of those before! Honestly it doesn't really matter. This is still Chan doing what Chan does best. Plus it's always interesting to see a Hong Kong production of an English-language film that takes place in Europe and Africa. That alone makes it worth a view. Chan plays a soldier who wakes up in Namibia with no memory of who he is or how he got there. After making some new friends he travels to Johannesburg where he asks the local authorities for help. Some government goons then show up and take him into custody. He escapes and journeys to the Netherlands in his continuous pursuit of the truth and ends up facing intrigue, betrayal, and more goons. If you read the back of the case you'd think this was a serious film. It does take a little while before the comedy kicks in but it's quite frequent once it does. Fortunately a lot of the humor is stunt-based and there are some good moments. Unfortunately there aren't very many fights... but the quality of the ones here are top notch. From fighting while handcuffed to fighting while wearing wooden shoes to an awesome rooftop finale against two opponents who are timing one another to see who can knock Chan down the fastest! The Columbia Tri Star DVD has flipside widescreen or fullscreen picture with very good quality. English language with a French dub and English or French subtitles. Sorry, no special features. The Hong Kong version contains several more minutes of footage and supposedly fills in a couple of the gaps. It would be cool to see this in its entirety but this version should satisfy most Chan fans for the majority of its 108 minutes. 1998
(yosemite sam, 2008-08-28) there is not one decent actor in this film, oher than chan. without him it would be a zero star. it was as if they were freshman in some acting school, well even if so, any decent teacher would have flunked them one and all. perhaps having such hjorrid actors makes chan look good...well good is relative, and saying he was good here, is being more than generous. as it is the plot is vitually non-existant, one fight scene was agonizingly long; taken place on the roof - if only they had actually jumped and saved us all from boredom. it was hard to figure out just what the nature of the film was...perhaps a comedy, but who knows. save your money, there are better chan films. how nice for the studios to have those with such low thresholds of being entertained...at least on this review there are a few others who see this film for what it is...the others will be happy watching inane films by inane actors.
(M. Kelley, 2008-07-23) 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.
(Roberto Vitale, 2008-06-24) 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.
(L. Arocho, 2008-06-09) I thought Who Am I? would be a great Jackie Chan film just like all the rest. I must say that most of Jackie's films usually do not have an appealing plot at times. But I felt that Jackie Chan slacked of in this film. He did two good scenes and that was the fight scene he has with the two goons in the roof top and when he slides down from one part of the building. As a fan of Jackie's films i felt that this is by far the worst of his craft. I feel that the "Tuxedo" is a better film than this. The horrible cgi graphics to the horrible fight scene with the main villian (There is one instant where you obviously see the difference of the actor and a stuntman.) if you're interested in taking a look i suggest renting it.
