Jackie Chan's Who Am I?

Rating:
Summary: Blew me away!
Review: I have not been into Martial Arts movies that much before now, but after watching "Rush Hour," I rented "The Legend of Drunken Master" and "Who Am I?" and I have come to realize that Jackie Chan is a very intelligent man with ever-growing power.

Anyone - no matter their lifestyle or preference of entertainment - will find this movie extremely intelligent, well-writeen, and fun. The plot, though not overly complex, is very well thought out. The fight sequences are furiously fast and very very long.

This man maintains his energy and performs feats that would amaze even Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan is Magic! He is a master of Kung Fu and has created his own style while entertaining every country in the world. He has literally hundreds of movies under his belt and this is one of his best.

"Who Am I?" is fast and fun and very entertaining. I love it and I know anyone who likes intelligent action movies will truly love "Who Am I?"

Summary: Intense Action- Bad Script
Review: This movie has the high-flying martial artist, Jackie Chan, renowned for his agility and acrobatic aerial assaults. Chan does a superb job, stunt-wise, and makes for a commendable performance in Jackie Chan, Who Am I? The acting and the scriptwriters are less than admirable. Nonetheless, this is still a good, overall entertaining movie.

Summary: Bad acting Excellent action
Review: As the action in Jackie Chan movies goes this one is top notch! The acting could have been better done with a high school drama club with stage fright. Jackies acting is fine, his supporting cast needs some remedial acting lessons. Jackie plays a mercenary with amnesia. A literal globe trotting adventure this movie takes Jackie from Africa to the streets of Rotterdam.

The action is intense with Jackie taking on hoards of bumbling East German strong men. The escape with handcuffs is good, the wooden shoes better, and the finale is to die for. A 2 on 1 that needs to be seen to be believed. A long scene, remeniscient of Jackies old kung-fu flicks rather then a modern street fight.

If you are a fan of The Man, then this movie is for you. Good bang for the bucks!

Summary: Who IS he?? Jackie of course!
Review: I have the American DVD, but have the Asian released DVD (with English audio option) as well, which has extra footage in the African village. I don't know why some people don't like this and consider it "boring", I found it great - it set the scene for the rest of the film - a sort of "quiet time" before the storm, so to speak. There is great action all the way thru, like the clog fight, plus the end "jump off the building" stunt in Rotterdam! Some of the acting by the other actors is not very good (ie. the guys at the meeting table in the beginning). Jackie does tend to concentrate more on action than dialogue. However, the song Jackie sings is terrific - Americans should use his songs over the end credits of their movies with Jackie. I have a lot of his music CDs. Though I like Accidental Spy better I still rate this as a 5 because of the story, action - and Jackie!

Summary: We remember you, Jackie!
Review: Jackie Chan's Who Am I is an exceptionally well put together bit of cinema. It's fast paced, well staged, and original. Most of all, it signals a much needed return to form for Jackie Chan after the entertaining but less-than-sensational Hollywood actioner Rush Hour. Hollywood has always sought to water down Chan's frenetic brand of martial arts action and incredible stuntwork, leaving us with a product that could only be described as Chan-Lite, or Diet Jackie. However, in this Hong Kong produced thriller, Jackie returns to what he does best - making the audience fear for his life! The martial arts sequences are brilliantly choreographed, the stunts simply breathtaking both fostering memories of the Police Story series. Added to this winning combination is a neatly plotted story that helps keep the viewer hooked. If Jackie Chan continues on his Hollywood odyssey, making films like Rush Hour 2 and Shanghai Noon (by no means bad films, there's just less of the real Jackie in them), I hope he finds time to return to his roots every now and then, so he can deliver another few gems like Who Am I. This is a thrill-packed, edge of your seat, old fashioned Jackie Chan adventure with all that is best about his unique brand of filmmaking.

Summary: Another great from Jackie.
Review: This movie is great. The first bit can be boring at times, but the rest of the movie makes up for this. The final fight on the roof of the glass and steel tower in Rotterdam is fantastic and the stunt following that, in wich Jackie jumps off of that tower is just as amazing. Buy this movie as it loses nothing no matter how many times you watch it.

Summary: Back to his best
Review: With "Who Am I?" Jackie Chan finally gets the combination of Hong action and Hollywood budget spot on. With him writing and directing you get a film that's up there with Police Story and Armour of God for visceral excitement and eyepopping action.

He plays a soldier recruited to a multinational covert CIA operation in South Africa, whose goal is to kidnap scientists working on a new energy source obtained from a meteorite. The operation suceeds, but a corrupt CIA offical wants no survivors. Jackie is the sole survivor of the resultant forced helicopter crash, but with broken bones and amnesia. He recuperates with an African tribe who think his name is Whoami and only leaves when he accidently wins a cross-Africa rally. His photo appears on the front pages of the newspapers, which unfortunately attracts the attention (and fists) of the bad guys...

The rest of the film involves much double crossing, deception and some of the best fight scenes Jackie has done. Who Am I? is probably the finest exhibition of Jackie's amazing physical prowess for years - the fight scenes are longer and more aggressive, the stunts are extreme and he makes clambering up and down buildings look easy.
