Still it's a great movie!
And that is a major draw for this movie - that and the impressive action scenes in which Garner puts her ALIAS tv show fighting chops to practice once more in a heart pounding series of set pieces.
But the main attraction (acknowledged reluctantly by Garner herself in pre-release publicity) is Garners super-sexy physique, nicely accented by the skin-tight red outfit she wears in the movie.
Serious and thought-provoking drama this is not - but to its credit it doesn't pretend to be. Sure there is character angst on the part of Elektra dealing with the death of her mother and the inner turmoil over being assigned to kill a young girl and her father. There is a lesbian subtext most visibly illustrated by the main female villainess giving Elektra (quite literally) the kiss of death and some character struggles on the part of the father and daughter. But for the most part the entire cast realize that this is pure popcorn fodder and act accordingly.
The plot (for what it is) revolves around the title character. An assassin for hire, she is a seemingly ghost-like figure who can evade high-tech security systems to get to her prey. Then while waiting for her next assignment she befriends a precocious young girl Abby (Kirsten Prout) and her protective father (played by Goran Visnjic). Eventually the orders arrive - the targets are the two. Feeling a connection with the young girl Elektra decides to protect them and the race is on as she attempts to keep one step ahead of the mystical criminal organization known only as The Hand.
Not surprisingly the actor who impressed me the most is the venerable Terence Stamp who plays Elektra's mentor Stick, also turning in a wonderful performance is the young Prout, who steals almost every scene in which she appears.
Directed by Rob Bowman, who proved he could direct action well in the excellent modern-day dragon picture REIGN OF FIRE, this movie moves along at a fair clip and does not outstay its welcome. Its not high drama or a romantic comedy - it's a no nonsense action flick that will appeal to ALIAS fans and most alpha-males who appreciate suspenseful, tension filled action scenes and shots of Garner in navel-revealing outfits.
The DVD includes three deleted scenes that were "deleted" for good reason, a rather EPK fluff making-of documentary that includes both interviews with Bowman and Garner, a piece on Garner's time at the Comic Convention a rather nifty editing-room feature and the trailer. Hopefully one day when this movie has passed into cult-favorite status (as it is bound to become) they will get Bowman and Garner together for an audio commentary.
Until that day, sit back and enjoy some straightforward, good natured Jennifer Garner fun.
Blu-ray update:
The video quality of the high definition Blu-ray is quite good and not surprisingly easily bests its standard def DVD counterpart, even if its blacks are little too dark at times. The Elektra costume is a nice cherry red while the foliage is a rich green, and the detail is extremely textured. The audio presentation on the Blu-ray is also simply excellent, with a rocking DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track that will put your sound system to the test. There are a number of cross-channel effects and the LFE channel positively throbs with energy. All around, an extremely effective audio presentation that is definitely better than its DVD counterpart.
The supplements are headlined by "Reign of Fire" director Rob Bowman and an interestingly making of documentary that is significantly longer than the film it covers. In two parts, the "Relentless: Making of Elektra" clocks in at 2 hours 20 minutes. But, there's more, we are also treated to a 52 minute "Elektra: Incarnations" documentary that examines Elektra in the comic books. There's also a 15-minute "Elektra in Greek Mythology" which details, variations of the Elektra story in mythology. Rounding out the supplements is over 13 minutes of alternate or extended scenes, 5 minutes of deleted scenes, 2 trailers and a 2-minute + multi-angle feature of the fight scene at the well.
So, the verdict. If you are an Elektra fan, or a fan of Jennifer Garner at her sexiest, this Blu-ray as a purchase is a no brainer. The movie itself is popcorn fun, if terribly written, and the supplements are probably the most extensive you are likely to ever see. If the price point is right you should add this Blu-ray to your collection.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that some of the criticisms I heard turned out to be some of the best portions of the movie. And the rest were just false. While I do agree that more action would have been phenomenal...I don't think I could have asked for a better character adaption of Elektra.
There was obviously a lot of thought that went into this and the script. The depiction of Elektra's personality was priceless. The OCD actually made me laugh out loud as I wondered how you could portray Elektra's more neutoric tendencies without making her look completely crazy (Elektra: Assassin, but toned down for the mainstream). And showing her growing increasingly impatient, aggitated, and otherwise put out by her 'downtime' was also perfect and absolutely spot on.
And the relationship with Stick? Couldn't have been portrayed better. As multi-faceted as it's been, they managed to get it all across very well.
Another thing I had to add to this review, and I can't believe I forgot it at first: The Treasure. Let me say that I'm beyond pleased they made sure to include the concept of the Spirit Warriors. Granted, not a lot of background on them, but I'm glad they got some recognition.
I think this movie did a wonderful job staying true to the character and be adaptable to a wider audience. I can see where someone not familiar with the character and her history might be put off (or worse, not quite so drawn in). In the case of anything like this, the more you know, the more you tend to get out of it (or sometimes, the more you tend to dislike it.) But in my case, I'm not someone who will criticize because everything is not exactly as it is in the comic. Nothing ever is. The main point is did they do a good job with what they had? And here, the answer is 'Yes'.
There is room for improvement, namely adding some more action and making the sequences flow a little better. But as a long time fan, I'm happy with how this movie turned out.

O filme conta com cenas a mais, mais violentas e mais profundas e intensas que deixam o filme mais sério. Infelizmente essa não foi a versão lançada no cinema, pois deveria. A versão do diretor é mais completa, mais dinâmica e mostra todo o empenho da Jennifer Garner como Elektra. Assim como Demolidor a versão do diretor é a que os fãs devem assistir!

Zugegeben, dass nach Jahren, in denen das Haus ihrer Eltern leer stand, noch immer Gas & Strom funktionieren, ist nicht so realistisch, aber wer über solche Kleinigkeiten hinwegsehen kann, wird hier gut unterhalten.
Elektra, die als Kind ihre tote Mutter in deren Schlafzimmer gefunden hat, und deren Killer sie beim Verlassen des Zimmers durch das Fenster gesehen hat (anfangs nur undeutlich als eine Art Teufel in ihrer Erinnerung gezeigt) wird, nachdem sie sich dadurch selber verloren hat, von einem blinden Meister der Kampfkünste aufgenommen und trainiert, um eines Tages dennoch von ihm hinaus geworfen zu werden.
Daraufhin wird sie zu einem der besten Auftragskiller, der jeden Auftrag zu erledigen in der Lage ist, egal wie stark sich das Ziel abschirmt und mit Söldnern umgibt.
Eines Tages, als sie gerade ohne Auftrag ist, lernt sie die junge Abby kennen, die bei ihr einbricht (Elektra lebt auf einer Insel, auf der nur wenige Leute leben, und sie ein großes schönes Haus besitzt), und sie bald darauf zu sich nach Hause einlädt, da sie neben ihrem sie allein erziehenden Vater auch einmal jemand anderen beim Essen dabei hätte, und zudem ist Weihnachten.
Nachdem sie so etwas wie aufkommende Sympathie für die beiden anfängt zu empfinden, bekommt sie plötzlich den Auftrag beide zu eliminieren, was sie nicht über ihr Auftragskillerherz bringt.
Im Gegenteil: Sie rettet die beiden vor den nachfolgenden Killern, die gesandt wurden nachdem sie den Auftrag abgelehnt hatte.
Da es sich hierbei um (noch niedere) Dämonen gehandelt hat, wird das Ganze zwar unrealistisch, aber es ist verdammt gut gemacht.
Nun nimmt der Film erst richtig Fahrt auf, und nachdem ein paar weitere Dämonen mit etwas Glück vernichtet wurden, nimmt Elektra eine Art telepathischen Kontakt zum Anführer auf, um ihn um einen Showdown Mann gegen Mann, äh Frau zu animieren(Der Gewinner bekommt Abby).. Dieser sagt dem zwar zu, hintergeht Elektra aber dahingehend, dass er seine dezimierte Restschar an Dämonen dennoch mitbringt.
Kann Elektra, die zudem noch auf die ihr gefolgte Abby acht geben muss, gegen ein halbes Dutzend gefährlicher Dämonen bestehen, und zugleich Abby vor den Klauen der Dämonen retten?
Bild und Ton top. Ton DTS-HD 5.1. Habe ihn zwar auf Englisch geschaut, jedoch soll der deutsche Ton ebenfalls DTS-HD 5,1 haben.
Fazit: Wen ein Film mit Dämonen, gegen die nicht mit Kruzifix und Weihwasser, sondern mit speziellen Waffen gekämpft wird, nicht abschreckt, wird hier einen sehr gelungenen Action Film finden, den die meisten sich bestimmt nicht bloß einmal ansehen werden.
