lurkerwithoutZin is the girlfriend of a Thai gangster who falls for a visiting Yakuza. Under threats from her old flame Zin sends her boyfriend back to Japan and moves away. Then she has a baby who she names Zen. Zen turns out to be autistic is some form, which also allows her to copy martial arts moves she sees. Which comes in useful later when she and her family have to deal with the Thai gangster's army of goons...
I do wonder how much goons get paid in the universe of Action/Martial Arts picks. They nearly always keep coming back for more beatings. I mean you'd think some of them would think to stand back and not go after the Hero(inne) multiple times. Especially when they dismantle the whole mob plus the several Bad-Ass Members. Maybe gangs offer really good health insurance and retirement...
Anyway, the young actress who plays Zen, JeeJa Yanin, is someone to watch. A great martial artist and not a bad actor either. Reminds me of a young Jackie Chan, especially in several of the early one-vs.-group fight scenes...
