Mirai Yamamoto in 'Who am I?'

Usually,I don't like to moan about missed opportunities.It's just of course,the way the story is told.

However,I must admit to being totally gutted,watching Jackie Chan's 'Who am I?' regarding this.I thought one of the actresses in this film,fully deserved the damsel in distress treatment.Well,she did,but Mirai's character wasn't bound and gagged in the film.

Instead,her damsel role,is pleading for anybody to help her,when she and her brother participate in a race.Unfortunately,they both have a puncture,and her brother's bitten by a snake,leaving her screaming for help.Not panicky of course,but then again,she is!

Anyway,before all this,right at the start of the film,Jackie's a special forces soldier,sent on a mission into the jungle.However,there is a traitor amongst them,and promptly blows them all up,not realising Jackie's the only survivor.

As you'll have guessed from the title,Jackie's now lost his memory.He's cared for by a native tribe,and there's a lot of comedy here,showing how to communicate in two different tongues!

Anyway,Jackie's nursed back to full health,and he resolves to find out who his real identity is.It's not long after this,when he comes across the very pretty Mirai,desperately crying out for help.

Not only does he help her,her brother,but Jackie also wins her the race!

Not long after this,we see Mirai again,when Jackie's in hospital,and he then meets another pretty lady,Michelle Ferre,who is actually an undercover agent.It's Michelle,who gets grabbed by the bad guys,and she's handcuffed on one wrist inside a car.Very disappointing.

Just like Jackie's earlier films,this one was great fun,and full of action.However,I still sigh in massive disappointment,not seeing better scenes for two pretty girls to be tied up and gagged!

It was indeed,a missed opportunity.
