Summary: Overrated & overhyped? I certainly think so!
Review: It's apparent that most people that has written a review of this movie before me hasn't seen a lot of his older work, which, to say the least, is way better than "Who Am I?"

Now, to clear things up I'm not saying this movie s**ks or anything - it has its great moments. In fact, the entire beginning of the movie was very good and really looked like the Jackie Chan of old. Then it just went downhill from there with a few uphill bumps on the way.

All in all, "Who Am I?" doesn't hold up to the end. It's too long, has rather un-inspired and boring fights (c'mon people, the roof-top fight in the end isn't THAT good), lacks the great comedy Jackie usually provides us with (take Supercop for example, another one of his newer movies that has superb humor & action) and has several goofs that are too apparent to ignore. Some stuff are also just too ridiculos to cope with. Yellow mini-car or whatever ring a bell for anyone?

A couple of GOOD Jackie Chan movies are: "Project A" (probably one of his absolutly BEST - if not THE best), "Project A 2", "Armor of God", "Supercop" and "First Strike"...

Nah, I'll easily take anyone of those Jackie Chan movies ahead of "Who Am I?" any given day...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST Jackie Chan Movie EVER!
Review: This is one of the best Jackie Chan Movies i have ever seen. Congrats to Jackie! The fight seen on top of the building was absoloutely INCREDIBLE! He keeps you on the edge of the seat waiting for the next amazing seen. All of the fight scenes were fantastic and this is a movie that MUST be seen. The only negative though I could think of would probably be in some scenes, you could easily notice that Morgan the CIA Agent was played by a different actor for stunt purposes. (Like at the end when the girl agent kicks him). But all in all, I rate this the BEST Jackie Chan movie EVER!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A flavorful mix of fun, action, and drama.....Jackie style!!
Review: This film contains a bit of everything in terms of what we Jackie Chan fans have come to expect from the world's greatest. I enjoyed every minute of it, from the opening parachute sequence to the spectacular fight scene on the roof of the office building at the end. Jackie's the one & only!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very cool
Review: a nother great chan movie'its got all the action you'd come to exspect. but i loved the fight scenes one of his longest scenes with a guy who is all punches and the other all kicks awsome' and what a fight scene it is. i loved this movie it starts out kinda slow but it picks up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!! The real Chan returns! Better than Rush Hour!!
Review: Fantastic car stunts! Hilarious wooden shoe fight scene! The incredible escape from the police delivers with equal parts flexibility, force, and ferocity. Nice balance with the female actresses, especially Yuki the rally driver. All of the Chan trademarks--stunts on the very edge; action; self-deprecating humor; action; outtakes; action; sense of responsibility, ethics, honor, and morality; and, oh, did I mention action?!?

I appreciate Rush Hour for increasing Chan's exposure in the U.S., but Rush Hour comes across as almost flat after seeing Who Am I. If you purchase only one of Chan's recent movies, skip Rush Hour and buy Who Am I? or Supercop! More Chan excitement for your $$$!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whoami?=Sheer brilliance
Review: This film is far superior to Rumble in the Bronx and Rush Hour.It just shows what a man can do if given enough rope and Jackie certainly doesn't hang himself.Even an avid anti Jackie fan liked this one when shown the film,so do yourself a favor and GET THIS!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Absolutely fantastic fight sequences!
Review: I really thought the action in the movie was great. The story line, however, was a bit unbelievable. If you left out the scenes where he was adopted and cared for by an African tribe, I would have overlooked the silliness of it. But, the "clog" scene and the "tag team roof battle" was actually stupendous. The roof fight scene was so good, I had to show it to my friends and family members during my birthday party. Jackie's opponents are absolutely incredible and I wish and hope he continues to showcase such exceptional talent in all of his movies. Great flick and you will have a good time viewing it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: If you are a fan of Jackie Chan you will love this movie. Jackie gives you evertything we have come to expect from him, incredible action and talent, humor that only Jackie pull off, and of course classic Jackie Chan cinematagraphy. His stunts and choreography will have you laughing half of the time and awe-struck the rest. You will love this movie. I could have given it five stars instead of four if he would teach his stunt men/women how to act.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: this movie is the best serioulsy, it cant be explained in words... forget glass bottle!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Soooo unf@^ing believable...
Review: Jackie did it again!!!!!! I would give this movie 10 stars if I could. This was the best Jackie Chan movie I've ever seen, even better than Rush hour and Mr Nice guy. And it had a remarkable interesting story. I like the Surprise effects at the beginning of the movie combined with flashbacks in the later movie parts. It kept me guessing " what happened before", " what happens after" and " why did this and this happen". There are also some funny parts again like the one with Jackie and the female rally racer in the desert, for instance, or Jackie and the girls in the sports car with the gear at his balls. But the best parts are of course his action and stunt scenes. Again incredible fights, especially the Rotterdam part . The last opponents (the kicking guy was awesome) were pretty tough.
