I saw this film on TV recently, not having heard of it before. It started off quite slowly and was not that interesting. But being a fan of Jackie Chan, I decided to persist with it as I knew it would get better.
The bad points: near the start of the film, there is a scene where soldiers are disembarking from a truck, and you can see one of them put his foot on the head of another by mistake. Then a bit later there is a scene with some top brass officials having a meeting. The acting in that scene is some of the worst I have ever seen. Absolutely awful, worst part of the whole film. Throughout the film we do not know who the man is, and he is known as "Who Am I", except in one scene when the officials who are looking for him actually refer to him as Jackie Chan. I am not sure if this was a slip-up or the character was meant to be called Jackie Chan, although no other reference to his name is made.
Good points: after he meets the rally driver whose brother gets poisoned and he heals the man, from then on it gets interesting. Some good car chases, fight scenes and 2 cute Chinese women. The scenes in Holland are good too, some interesting architecture. Overall I think the plot is a good one, but the lost in Africa and being part of the tribe seems to have not been explored enough, and nor did he return to the tribe despite promising to return something to a boy. And the whole bit where is with the tribe could have been written a lot better.
I liked the film, it was a decent enough film and a pleasant few hours of watching TV. But not a film that would win any awards.
