Who Am I? poster

Movies that feel likeWho Am I? (1998)

A group of covert CIA operatives trailing a potential new energy source are double-crossed by corrupt agent Morgan, who causes a helicopter crash in remote South Africa. The sole survivor, suffering severe amnesia, is nursed to recovery by a kindly native tribe who call him "Whoami" after the question he keeps asking. With the help of a mysterious reporter Christine, Whoami pieces together his past and tracks the turncoat agent and his criminal cohorts.

If you loved Who Am I?, the closest films we have are Armour of God (1986), Project A (1983) and Police Story (1985). All three share Who Am I?'s kinetic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006).
