The critics must have seen a different movie than I did. I eagerly awaited ELEKTRA, mainly because of Jennifer Garner and being a huge fan of her TV show, Alias. Elektra not only lived up to my expectations, it surpassed them mainly because of the great action and, of course, phenomenal acting by the great Jennifer Garner.
The movie has a X-MEN appeal to it, with bad guys doing supernatural things. Ranging from Tattoo, a villain with animal tattoos covering his body that come to life when he beckons them, to Typhoid Mary, an evil villainess who plants a deadly kiss upon her prey, the villains surely are a substantial match for Elektra.
It follows an interesting plot of Elektra Natachios, assassin extraordinaire, finding her own identity through helping others. A father and daughter pair, her next targets, render Elektra to evoke her maternal instincts and instead of carrying out her orders, she opts to protect the pair whilst going against her instincts and evil counterparts.
The new young actress playing the daughter pair, Kirsten Prout, gives an honest, action packed performance. The villains also emit a spine chilling performance that makes you truly wonder whether this movie will end with Good conquering Evil or vice versa. Jennifer Garner gives an EXTREME performance through her dedication to each and every action sequence that are beyond awesome!
Everyone should see this movie if they want be entertained and can suspend reality for a brief 97 minutes. The critics were too harsh, wanting an Oscar quality COMIC BOOK tale, rather than a fun, action packed thriller. This movie is high quality action!
