| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Who Am I? |
|---|
One of the better Jackie Chan films, Who Am I? is an action packed film about Whoami (Chan) looking for his identity after his helicopter was sabataged and crashed, resulting in amnesia. He goes back to the city after the African natives nursed him back to health. Here he finds that many people are after him and he has no idea why. We learn that he was part of a military group that was used to kidnap some scientists who are being used to perfect a certain power source to use in warfare for the CIA. As Whoami stumbles his way through, the man who betrayed him is pretending to help him.
