Raging Phoenix (2009)

JeeJa Yanin's second film is a strange one. She plays Deu, a woman unsuccessfully coping with being alone. The martial arts side of things is in response to a gang who are abducting young women for evil purposes.
It lacks any kind of proper context for a long time. The middle section is better, despite the clichés, but the last third goes awry with scenes in unusual surroundings, probably because someone thought they looked cool and not for any practical story purposes. And rather than rely wholeheartedly on JeeJa's natural ability, they add ridiculous action scenes reminiscent of a Hollywood summer action movie. The music is fine during the quiet emotional scenes, but is often painfully weak during the more energetic ones.
