I wonder whether I'm actually reviewing the same movie everyone else is. I thought it was one of most dreadfully B-grade movies I've seen.
Let me set one thing straight -- I'm not a rabid Jackie Chan fan. I like his stuff, I've always enjoyed and gotten a laugh out of his movies, and I don't expect the most brilliant piece of cinemagraphic legerdemain, just a slick movie, great fight scenes and an all round good time.
"Who Am I?" had the fight scenes...yes. It had little else, unfortunately. Appalling acting, ridiculous props (like bombs that suddenly grow red tentacles...????), terrible visual effects (including CGI that looked as if it were done on a home PC), cheesy sets and, worst of all, the most squirm-in-your-seat-inducing dialogue I've heard in a movie in a long, long time.
Not to mention that the dialogue was about a third of a second out of sync with the actors -- something that irritates me no end...
I think Jackie needs to stick to stunts and fights, and stay well away from both the back-end of the camera and the script-writer's desk...
