Kirigi and The Order of the Hand send Elektra on a mission to kill the widower Mark Miller and his daughter Abby. Elektra becomes friendly with the two Millers and allies herself with him and defends them both from Kirigi's ninjas and other assassins. But is there more to the Millers than meets the eye?
In the ultimate battle between good and evil stands a warrior who makes the choice that tips the balance. A strong, mysterious and a deadly sexy action heroine - a lethal synthesis of grace and power. Not long after recovering from seemingly mortal wounds, Elektra has severed all ties with the world, living only for her next assignment. But in an unexpected turn of events, she is forced to make a decision that can take her life in a new direction - or destroy her. Key players in Elektra's journey are Stick, a blind martial arts master responsible for Elektra's "resurrection," and Mark Miller and Abby Miller, a father and daughter on the run from The Hand, a powerful syndicate whose members practice the dark version of the martial art Kimagure.
Having cheated death as a target of Bullseye in Daredevil, Elektra survives with, I can guess, emotional scars. But in her nightmares the persistent image that haunts her is that the death of her mother in an idyllic white bedroom, and the fleeting glimpse of her slayer. This, it appears, is one of the things that keeps her going, one of the things that likely propelled her to become an assassin for hire; an assassin so good that among those who have witnessed her at work her image has ascended to a somewhat mythical status. It&#39;s nice to be so highly thought of.<br/><br/>The movie begins with what I believe is its most impressive moment, and one of the most brilliant sequences in recent comic book films, a fine introduction at that. A crime boss sits alone having a drink, waiting, instinctively knowing he&#39;s Elektra&#39;s target. Resigned to the inevitable, he tells one of his henchmen exactly how she goes about her business and why he&#39;s still alive after a prior encounter. In his case, for optimum effect, the thought of death is even worse when you know, without question, it&#39;s coming.<br/><br/>He now realizes this was her intent. And like the stories he has heard, he expects she&#39;ll whisper in his ear before she kills him. The scene does Elektra&#39;s myth good. I&#39;d like to say the same for the rest of the movie, but beyond this point it&#39;s more like a depletion of the myth, at least from the audience&#39;s standpoint.<br/><br/>Elektra&#39;s right-hand man informs her that her next assignment is a cash windfall and certainly worth the take, so they gear up and go for it. She commences the first part of the assignment: relocating for a couple months to a sparsely populated island. The house itself is an impressive piece of architecture. And there she prepares, waits for further directions. To no one&#39;s surprise there&#39;s a workout montage, during which I&#39;ll note that she does one-handed pull-ups. I&#39;m not sure if Rocky ever did that. That scene was particularly hot. Lol. <br/><br/>A young girl, Abby breaks into Elektra&#39;s house and is about to endure her wrath. Then again, she didn&#39;t know an assassin was taking up residence there, so she did find it surprising to have her shirt sleeve nailed to the wall by a box opener. Abby, it turns out, lives nearby with her father, Mark, and she wouldn&#39;t mind at all if Elektra and he got to know each other a little better. And wouldn&#39;t you know it, it&#39;s after they get to know each other a little that Elektra&#39;s second directive arrives, her target is Abby and Mark. And, she&#39;s not down with that.<br/><br/>Not down with it at all. Killing them would have been easy, but keeping an eye on them becomes even tougher. Abby, you see, has a talent for fighting that&#39;s already almost on par with Elektra, and the renegade group known as the Hand wants her for their own. Elektra, of course, won&#39;t have that either. So what transpires is an effort by Elektra to protect Abby from abduction.<br/><br/>The bad guy, Kirigi&#39;s group of killers are introduced. Tattoo, Stone and Typhoid They&#39;re an intriguing lot. Unfortunately we don&#39;t really get to know anything about them. It&#39;s a parade of undeveloped characters. Thus their interactions with Elektra are essentially hollow, entertaining if only through the demonstration of their powers. The fight scenes are neatly shot, and edited so quickly, and that of course is cool. But there must be something more than that. Even the final fight scene was uneventful enough to make me glance at my watch.<br/><br/>The film lacks any real action that it could have, and should have been loaded to the gills with. I&#39;m on par with this film along with Daredevil. Daredevil had problems with character development, which Elektra certainly has no problem with, but Elektra has problems with the action. There just isn&#39;t enough to keep anyone satisfied. That&#39;s to say it&#39;s a bad movie, it&#39;s not. But it&#39;s not a great movie either. It&#39;s just good<br/><br/>It&#39;s pretty average and not worth recommending if you want action. To me, it is better than Daredevil. Gardner is perfect as Elektra. She&#39;s got the beauty, the acting, the skills, and oh yea, the beauty. Did I mention she&#39;s beautiful? It&#39;s worth a look if you want 90 minutes of wasting time, but you can something better to do with your 8 bucks. I for one enjoyed it. Sexy is as sexy does….<br/><br/>***/*****
The storyline is based on a character from the Marvel Comics. Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner) is killed and brought back to life by Stick (Terence Stamp), a blind martial arts master. Stick trains Elektra in the martial art of ninjitsu, and after several years of intense training, she becomes his best student. Stick sends Elektra on her own, and she becomes a hired assassin. Elektra dresses in all red and only uses her martial arts when she goes after a target. Elektra is so skilled as an assassin that nobody can stop her from her assignment, no matter how many bodyguards with guns you have around you. The Order of the Hand, a ninja collective of assassins, is looking for Mark Miller (Goran Visnjic) and his daughter Abby (Kirsten Prout). In the meantime, Elektra receives a contract for $2 million to kill Mark and Abby. Elektra goes to a small island for a few days and gets to know Mark and Abby before she finds out that they are her targets. Elektra must make a choice between good or evil in carrying out her deadly mission. There are only two good fight scenes in the whole movie. Jennifer Garner&#39;s skills as a ninja are very believable; however, the movie doesn&#39;t live up to the excitement of the previews. (20th Century Fox, Run time 1:37, Rated PG-13) (4/10)
"Kill Bill" without irony, and without Quentin Tarantino's flair for cool dialogue and chop-socky action (and without Uma Thurman, for that matter), Elektra is a pretty-looking, pretty dull adaptation of the Marvel Comic about a dishy, deadly assassin.
In order to be able to get more people into the cinemas, the movie was cut down for a PG-13 rating. When the DVD hit the store, the original Director&#39;s Cut was released.
