"Who Am I" is one of Jackie Chan's best works after 1997. It tells about a secret agent who loses his memory after a helicopter crash in remote South Africa but is later chased by several other agency operatives, but he has no idea why. The film was directed, written, and starred by Chan and his long-time collaborator, director Benny Chan. It is pure entertainment with an ambitious global vision, including an incredible and super dangerous stunt in which he slid down the sloped side of the enormous Willemswelf building in Rotterdam by himself. This was the peak of Chan action movies before the superstar grew old.
