Not casting Tony Jaa was a smart move -- it would have been too similar to their two previous movies. Basically the same plot (bad guy takes something from lead, lead goes around beating people up to get it back -- in this case it's money owed to lead's mother). The young autistic female in the lead was refreshing and for the most part I enjoyed the movie. Jeeja's hits aren't as powerful-looking as Jaa's, but she's impressive in her own right. Oh, and I hope they don't change the music too much because overall I thought the soundtrack was pretty good. I just watched this a couple days ago.
