Plot

The movie opens with Elektra (Garner) finishing off her last job as a high-paid assassin. At this point the movie looks pretty cool. She is then given a second job and, you guessed it, there are complications; if not the movie would have only lasted about 25 minutes and as nice as that sounds, there's more. The plot is predictable and bounces from one fight scene to another as she escapes from and fights "The Hand".

Pros

There are some good fight scenes with some clever special effects, especially those concerning tattoos.

Cons

Just about everything else with this movie; plot, acting, script, etc.

Extras

  • The Making of Elektra including interviews with Jennifer Garner and Rob Bowman
  • "Inside the Editing Room" Featurettes
  • Jennifer Garner's Comic-Con Presentation
  • Deleted Scenes

Recommendation

Unless you're a diehard Jennifer Garner fan, of which I am not, watch one of the many other comic book based movies available to the public.
