Acclaimed Thai action director Prachya Pinkaew helms this martial arts drama, which follows Zen (JeeJa Yanin), a young autistic woman who discovers that she has the uncanny ability to absorb precision fighting skills just by watching martial arts movies. When her cancer-ridden mother's creditors come calling, Zen attempts to settle the debts by standing up to a hardnosed gang of criminals who have wrongfully swindled money from her family.

Serenity-ish autistic chick meets The Protector complete with Thai lady boys and yakuza. Not much in the way of story - but still funny in parts. Decent fight scenes despite the fact that the hero is a less than 100lb girl. Entertaining diversion if you want cheesy martial arts.

It was obvious that the mention of ladyboys was going to win over many IGX brothers.

It'll go platinum when the P&B finds out about it.
