Highly Underrated? (spoilers)

I'm not an expert on J Chan and haven't really seen many of his films but this film was just so much more entertaining than I was lead to believe. Most friends were like "yeah its ok" and thats what many of the reviews said to but I have to disagree. Even the little bits of humor slipped in (like the "sorry!" when the bmw falls off the edge or the thank you email from the Childrens Fund..)

Anyway, I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys watching some great action and superbly polished stunts and cheesy horrbile dubbing :)

I'll say it's underrated. A 6.4 is quite low considering it is better than some of his films like Rush Hour.

I even like this one better than Police Story. Who Am I? is my third favorite film and out of all Chan films I have scene, is the most successful in covering cintematography, awesome fight scenes, a few special effects and most important that is weak in a Chan movie: a GOOD storyline!

A guy losing his memory who only remembers how to fight is actually interesting. Great Chan flick, my favorite one in fact.

That ain't no dubbing, it was filmed in English as far as I'm aware.

Apart from some of his more obscure 70s flicks I have seen any Jackie Chan film and I agree, WHo am I? is very underrated. First half of the film drags on and on, but as soon as the action starts there are some pretty crazy stunts and one hell of a fight scene at the end of the movie (which I incidentally believe to be one of the 5 greatest fight scenes he's ever done).

Yeah, the South African stuff is a bit much and it's real chase-and-catch, cat chase mouse type of action in the first hour but definately when they get to Rotterdam- it gets good.
